| Abstract: | The choice of a water pumping system in remote areas depends on the type of energy available for power generation. In most of these areas where electricity and other sources of energy are not available or expensive to obtain, solar energy offers a cheap source of energy which can be utilized for operating water pumping systems. This paper describes a simple low technology vapor operated solar pump having minimum number of moving parts. The system is easy to manufacture and requires low maintenance. The performance of the system is experimentally investigated and the results obtained are presented and discussed. |
