SOLAR POWERED IRRIGATION APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A solar powered irrigation apparatus comprising:
- a. at least one volute inlet adapted to channelize and pressurize at least one fluid from the outside of said apparatus to the inside of said apparatus;
b. an impeller adapted to rotate and suck in said pressurized and channeled fluid and further pressurize said fluid by centrifugally discharging said fluid;
c. an accumulator housed co-axially and concentrically around said impeller, having an area sized to maintain a constant radial momentum and adapted to receive said centrifugally discharged fluid and channel said centrifugally discharged fluid to an outlet nozzle;
d. a motor adapted to drive said impeller;
e. a housing, having an upper end and a lower end;
f. a volute plate, having a top end and a bottom end, adapted to mount said impeller and said accumulator at said top end and said motor and said upper end of the housing at said bottom end;
g. a back plate operatively coupled with said lower end of the housing;
wherein the dimensions of the components (a) to (g) are derived from a target specific speed ranging from 600 to 2000.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the field of apparatus used in agriculture and irrigation. The existing solutions available with small acreage farmers having access to shallow groundwater are too large or too small in capacity as compared to the size of the farms and have designs which are complicated or unnecessarily expensive. The present disclosure envisages an apparatus (100) which is environment friendly, economical, compact and requires minimum human intervention for operation. The apparatus of the present disclosure (100) has components having dimensions derived from a target specific speed ranging from 600 to 2000 (US units—rpm, gpm, ft) making the apparatus (100) most suitable and efficient for the afore-stated application.
