BSC POWER WP-178F | 3 INCH | AGRICULTURE WATER PUMP

Description

BSC POWER WP-178F,  4 STROCK WATER PUMP

• 1. Engine & Power

  • Engine Type: The “178F” typically refers to a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled diesel engine.

  • Power Output: 5.0 KVA (kilovolt-ampere) suggests its mechanical output is in the range of 5–6.5 HP.

  • RPM: 3600 revolutions per minute, which is standard for small high-speed engines, ensuring strong performance in lifting water.

  2. Pumping Performance

  • Pump Lift (Head): 28 meters – This is the maximum vertical lift (also includes friction loss and delivery height). Actual working head may be lower depending on piping.

  • Suction Height (Lift): 8 meters – This is the maximum depth the pump can draw water from. Practically, 6–7 meters is more efficient.

  • Discharge Volume: 50 m³/h = 833 L/min – This is a high-flow pump, ideal for flood response, agricultural irrigation, or construction site drainage.

  3. Fuel System

  • Fuel Tank Capacity: 1.2 Liters – Small for a diesel engine, which suggests short runtime (~1.5 to 2 hours depending on load).

  • Likely uses diesel fuel, as the 178F is commonly a diesel model. Diesel is more fuel-efficient and better for heavy-duty use.

  4. Pump Type

  • Likely a centrifugal pump design – the most common type for water transfer.

  • May include a self-priming feature, though not always specified – helps automatically remove air to start pumping after initial priming.

  5. Material & Build

  • Pump Casing: Usually made from cast iron or aluminum alloy for durability.

  • Impeller: Likely cast iron or brass for resistance to wear and corrosion.

  • Frame: Mounted on a steel frame with rubber feet or shock absorbers.

  🧰 Typical Applications

  • Agriculture: Irrigation of fields, orchards, or gardens.

  • Construction: Dewatering foundations or trenches.

  • Emergency Use: Flood water removal, firefighting backup.

  • Industrial Use: General water transfer from storage tanks or rivers.

  ⚙️ Maintenance Tips

  • Oil Check: Regularly check and change engine oil (usually after first 20 hrs, then every 50 hrs).

  • Air Filter: Clean or replace depending on environment (dusty areas require frequent checks).

  • Fuel System: Use clean diesel and periodically drain water from the fuel filter.

  • Cooling: Ensure proper ventilation and clean cooling fins for air-cooled engines.
