Conergy 12Volt Solar Force Piston Pump

Conergy Solar Force Piston 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 or from storage batteries to fill a storage tank or to pressurize water.

Voltage Available

• 12V, 24V, 48V and 90 V DC
  Note: PV direct full working voltage is typically 20% higher than nominal
• 115V or 230 VAC, 50-60 Hz

Warranty

• 2 years against defects in materials and workmanship

Construction

• Cast iron body
  
• Brass cylinder and valve seats
  
• Leather cup piston seals
  
• Neoprene valve seals
  
• Oil-bath crankcase
  
• Gear (timing) belt drive on PV models
  
• Standard V-belt on B models
  
• Pressure relief valve
  
• Permanent Magnet DC Motor
  
• Surge tank included (not in photo)

Ultra Efficiency

• Uses less power than any other pump in its range

Econimical

• Reduces power system cost by 25-75 % compared to centrifugal or AC pumps

Solar-Direct Application

• Starts pumping in low light conditions

Pressurizing Application

• DC version is most efficient. AC version uses a low-surge permanent magnet motor that greatly reduces starting surge, inverter size, and wire size requirements (when compared to conventional AC pumps).

Rugged and Reliable

• Proven design with a 20-year life expectancy, simple to maintain with common tools (5-10 yr. maintenance interval)
• Good tolerance for dirt anf dry run

Mechanical Drive

• Allow engine or hand lever backup

Suction Capacity

• 25 vertical feet (7.6 m) at sea level. Subtract 1 foot for every 1000 ft. elevation (1 m for every 1,000 m). Suction capacity may be further limited by intake pipe friction. Intake piping should be minimum 1” (3010, 3020 models) or minimum 1 1/4” (3040). For best reliability, place the pump as close to the water source as possible.

System Requirements

• Solar-Direct Systems: Chart indicates power (w) required at the pump. The rated power of the PV array must exceed this number by 20 % or more. A pump controller (linear current booster) is required for the pump to start and run in varying light conditions. A solar tracker may be used to increase daily yield (40-55 % in summer).
• Pressurizing Systems: battery power system, pressure switch, and pressure tank of minimum 60 gallon (230 l) size (captive-air tank, available locally)

Fittings

• Intake: 1 1/4” female pipe thread
• Outlet: 1” female pipe thread

Dimensions

• Dimensions 56 x 33 x 41 cm with surge tank total height 60 cm.
• Weight 36 kg
  

Reading The Chart

• Total lift = vertical distance from surface id the water source to the pipe outlet or top os storage tank
• V = voltage, B = battery, PV = PV array direct model
• Specifications vary ± 10%
• PV models are measured at 14, 28 or 56V (array direct)
