Synopsis

This book details the extensive range of power pumps from the Deming company. Published in 1915, it provided guidance on the available commercial pumping technologies of the day to prospective buyers. The author presents different types of pumps, their uses, advantages, and disadvantages. This book provides technical specifications, dimensions, and capacities for the pumps, including triplex, deep well, single and double acting, piston and plunger pumps, and air compressors, which can be belt driven, electric driven, or powered by gas or gasoline engines. The book includes diagrams to showcase different types of installations and provides guidance for selecting the right pump for specific applications, such as waterworks, boiler feeding, irrigation, and mining. It covers special pump constructions and functionalities, including those with brass cased plungers, solid bronze plungers, bronze lined stuffing boxes and glands, rawhide pinions, and vacuum chambers. The book emphasizes the use of power pumps for increased efficiency and reliability compared to direct-acting steam pumps. It also discusses the benefits of electric and gas or gasoline engine-driven pumps over steam-driven pumps.
