Impulse pumps use pressure created by gas (usually air). In some impulse pumps the gas trapped in the liquid (usually water), is released and accumulated somewhere in the pump, creating a pressure which can push part of the liquid upwards. Impulse pumps include:
Impulse pumps use pressure created by gas (usually air). In some impulse pumps the gas trapped in the liquid (usually water), is released and accumulated somewhere in the pump, creating a pressure which can push part of the liquid upwards. Impulse pumps include:
* [[Hydraulic Ram Pumps]] - uses pressure built up internally from released gas in liquid flow. (see below)
* [[Airlift Pumps]] - run on air inserted into pipe, pushing up the water, when bubbles move upward, or on pressure inside pipe pushing water up.
* [[Airlift Pumps]] - run on air inserted into pipe, pushing up the water, when bubbles move upward, or on pressure inside pipe pushing water up.
