There are many types of Grundfos pumps in Hungary. One such type is the reciprocating pump. These pumps are also referred to as the positive displacement pumps. They include the piston pump, the plunger pump and also the diaphragm pump. These types of pumps are generally used in most commercial water supply needs. This is because these pumps can handle small volumes of fluids and also where delivery pressure will be large. So they are ideal for normal tap water and also desalination of the sea water.

The reciprocating or the positive displacement pumps are better for commercial rather than domestic water supply needs in Hungary. They are designed in such a way that they can handle high pressure operations that are required in the industries. They are highly efficient and can deal with complex tasks that will be wasted on domestic uses. They have many other advantages besides these.

Pros Of Reciprocating Pumps

This Grundfos pump is highly known for its efficiency in Hungary. They can operate a total efficiency up to eighty eight percent. This is mainly because they are of small and compact size. They don’t have any need for priming before operating them. This way there is no time wasted in operating them and also there is no need for additional equipment. They can deliver water at high pressure. This is why they are the most sought after pump for the commercial water supply needs for example providing tap water facilities and for deionized water. They can easily handle pressure. This makes them ideal for projects that have a wide range of pressure. In addition they also have the benefit of having a continuous rate of discharge.

Cons Of Reciprocating Pumps

The reciprocating or positive displacement pumps also have their own set of problems. They have a very high initial cost compared to that of other pumps. There by they can only be afforded by big time projects in Hungary. Even though they have a high rate of discharge, yet their capacity of discharge is quite low. They have constant wear in their parts. Because of this they have a very high maintenance cost, the many parts that they have leads to the accumulation of the maintenance costs. They cannot handle the pumping of fluids like oil or petroleum or any other toxic fluids like paints and the like. They are unsuitable for domestic water supply needs because of their expense.
