This is a still representation
and possibly also a low-resolution image of a fully animated pump.

The Simplex, or Single-Cylinder Double Acting, Pump was invented in 1840
by Henry R. Worthington. |
|
A Simplex Pump is a reciprocating pump. This pump has a single liquid cylinder
which forces liquid out through the top outlet on both the in and the out
stroke (here up and down.) |
|
This basic type of pump might be used for Air Pumps, Feed Pumps for the
furnace, Fire, Bilge, and Fuel Oil Service. All might rely on this fundamental
pump. |
|
The DUPLEX PUMP is similar to the Simplex pump,
having two pistons instead of one, providing smoother operation. From the
outside a simplex pump can take many forms but the basic concept follows
this illustration. |
