Etruria Industrial Museum - explaining the Pulsometer pump
Etruria Industrial Museum - explaining the Pulsometer pump
The Museum is in a mill that ground china stone and bone for the pottery industry. This is the gear room that contained the shafting to drive the pans above. It also contained various tanks (arks), launders and pumps associated with the process. The red object in the centre is a steam operated Pulsometer pump that is effectively a modern version of Savery's pump that has few moving parts and alternately uses condensing steam to provide suction (from the tank in the foreground) and steam under pressure to force liquid up the delivery pipe. This is a very rare in situ survivor and can be demonstrated on steam. Pulsometers are very tolerant of foreign material and will pump mud and slurry. Unlike many steam devices they will not run at all on compressed air.
