The pump was allegedly invented by Mr Andrew Wirtz of Zurich in 1945. From then till these last ten years the idea was neglected and no investigation of the pump was carried out. A variety of names have been used for his pump, for example, the spiral pump, manometric pump and hydraustatic pump. But it is mort commonly found as the coil pump. The pump consists of a length of flexible tube wound around the outside of a cylindrical drum which is partly submerged in water with the axis of the drum parallel to the water surface. One end of the pipe is secured to the drum and left open to form the inlet. The other end of the pipe is connected via a rotary joint to the delivery pipe [...]. |
