Solaram surface pump
The Conergy Solaram Surface Pump draws water from a shallow
well, spring, pond, river or tank. It can push water uphill and over
long distances for home, village, irrigation or livestock uses. It can
use power directly from a photovoltaic array to fill a storage tank.
Ultra-efficient
- Uses less power than any other pump in its range, starts
pumping in low light conditions
Economical
- Reduces power system cost by 25-75 % compared to
centrifugal or AC pumps
Rugged and Reliable
- Proven design with a 20 year life expectancy
Simple to Maintain
Dirt-tolerant
Dry Run-tolerant
Easy-to-install
High Lift and Flow
Suction Capacity
- 25 vertical feet (7.6 m) at sea level. Subtract 1 ft for
every 1,000 ft elevation (1 m for every 1,000 m). Suction capacity may
be
further limited by intake pipe friction or gases in water. For best
reliability, place the pump as close to the water source as
possible.
Construction
- Multiple diaphragm industrial design
- Cast aluminum pump body
- Neoprene diaphragms backed by pistons
- Non-toxic oil-filled crankcase
- Massive ball bearings
- Permanent Magnet DC Motor
- Gear (timing) belt drive
- Pressure relief valve include
Power System Requirements
- Solar (PV) array: Chart indicates power (W) required at the
pump.
For solar array-direct (non-battery) systems, the rated power of the PV
array must exceed the pump watts by 25 % or more.
- 120 V models: Use 10 x 12 V or 5 x 24 V modules in series.
- Linear Current Booster (pump controller) is required to
facilitate starting and to prevent stalling in low-light conditions.
- Solar tracker: Optional, to increase daily yield (typically
30%).
Accessories
- 1 1/4” (31.2 mm) Foot Valve (Item #DSP-11044) if pump is
placed higher than water source
- Float Switch (Item #DSP-11003) for remote shut-off of the
pump when tank fills
- Diaphragm and Oil Kit (Item #DSP-08503): Supplies for
regular preventive maintenance
- Long-term Parts Kit: (Item #DSP-08504) Three Diaphragm and
Oil Kits, plus a gearbelt and a motor brush set
Fittings
- Intake: 1-11/4” (25.4-31.2 mm) male pipe thread
- Outlet: 1” (25.4 mm) female pipe thread
Dimensions
- 28” W x 16.5” H x 16” D (710 x 420 x 410 mm)
- Weight, max. 150 lbs (68 kg)
Warranty
- 1 year against defects in materials and workmanship
