APPR. DISCHARGE RATE IN SLOPING DRAIN PIPE 150 mm DIAM., SLOPE 1/2 % ,

1/2 FULL AT VELOCITY 151 FPM = 111 GPM .

TOTAL IN FLOW = 111 GPM = 7.4 l / sec = 0.42 m3 / min.

PUMP CAPACITY = 6.3 l / sec = 0.378 m3 / min.

VOLUME OF SUMP PIT = 2 * 1 * 0.5= 1 m3.

TIME REQUIRED TO LIFT THIS VOLUME = 1 / 0.378 = 2.6 min =3min approx

DURING THIS TIME , THE IN FLOW WILL SUPPLY ADDITIONAL

WATER VOLUME = 3* 0.42 =1.26 m3

ACTUAL VOLUME = 1.26 + 1 = 2.26 m3.

TIME REQUIRED TO LIFT THIS VOLUME = 2.26/ 0.378 = 5.9 =6 min.

TIME REQUIRED TO FILL THE SUMP PIT VOLUME = 1 / 0.42 = 2.4 min.

TOTAL TIME PER CYCLE = 6 + 2.4 = 8.4 min.

SUMP PIT RECIEVES WATER TANK AT PUMP ROOM (FROM WATER TANK DRAIN PIPE 4" - 1/2 FULL - SLOPE 1%)
1/2 FULL of Water Tank Drain (4" pipe) = 143 Lit/min .
PUMP CAPACITY = 5 l / sec = 0.3 m3 / min.
VOLUME OF SUMP PIT = 1.52 * 1.42 * 0.5= 1.079 m3.
TIME REQUIRED TO LIFT THIS VOLUME = 1.079 / 0.3 = 3.6 min
DURING THIS TIME , THE IN FLOW WILL SUPPLY ADDITIONAL
WATER VOLUME = 3.6* 0.143 = 0.51 m3
ACTUAL VOLUME = 0.51 + 1.08 = 1.59 m3.
TIME REQUIRED TO LIFT THIS VOLUME = 1.59 / 0.3 = 5.31 min. time of pump operation per cycle
TIME REQUIRED TO FILL THE SUMP PIT VOLUME = 1.08 / 0.143 = 7.5 min. time of pump idle per cycle
TOTAL TIME PER CYCLE = 7.5 + 5.31 = 12.86 min.
NUMBER OF CYCLES PER HOUR = 60 / 12.86 = 4.7 Cycles approx
Conclusion:
the pump will work 4.7 cycles per hour,
working time per cycle = 5.31 min
rest time per cycle = 7.55 min
