Construction and optimization of weed and snail protection devices for solar powered cyclone submersible pumps

Abstract

This research aimed to create and find out the efficiency of a weed and snail protection device for a solar cell cyclone submersible pump. The sample included 3 experts to validate efficiency of the waste separation suction pipe for a solar submersible pump cyclone system. The research tools included a waste separation suction pipe for a solar submersible pump cyclone system, a quality assessment table on the design and the structure, a recording form on an electricity consumption and a water pumping rate, and the amount of weed and snail collecting. The statistics included mean, percentage, and standard deviation. The efficiency validation of the weed and snail protection device for a solar cell cyclone submersible pump was conducted by recording the weed and snail collecting amount when pumping water in a clarifier pond in a fish farm for 6 hours. The electricity consumption, pumping rate, and the amount of weeds and snails were recorded every hour. The research results found that the weed and snail protection device for the solar cell cyclone submersible pump can use solar cell electricity to replace electricity from the transmission line with an average water pumping rate of 44.33 liters per minute. It can collect an average of 48.5 grams of weeds per hour and 70.17 grams of snails per hour. The pump can work continuously for 6 hours. Consistent water volume pumping reduces operating time and saves electricity.
