A wind pump, as the name suggests, operates solely on wind power to draw water from a water source. The rotational motion obtained through the blades is converted into linear motion within the machinery compartment, causing the piston of the pump to move up and down, thus pressurizing the water.
The system requires only a gentle breeze to operate. In light winds, a wind pump can draw an average of 10-15 tons of water. Users can obtain pumps in different sizes according to their needs. The capacity of the pump varies depending on the size of the connected rotor.
A wind-powered water pump offers significant advantages for farmers, particularly those operating in rural areas, due to its low cost and long-term usability.
Wind pumps are particularly preferred by many users, especially in remote areas where accessing the electrical grid poses challenges. When compared to alternatives such as diesel or gasoline-powered pumps, they significantly reduce the overall cost. Additionally, wind pumps offer several positive features in terms of human health and being environmentally friendly, which is why they are highly regarded.
