Flow rate dynamics of pressure-compensating drippers under clogging effect

Abstract: A B S T R A C TThe clogging dynamics of pressure-compensating drippers is still poorly addressed, and its understanding is quite important to control clogging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the flow performance of pressure-compensating drippers under clogging effect. Eight pressure-compensating emitters, model J-SC Jain PC-PLUS with nominal flow rate of 2.2 L h -1 were evaluated. The tests were run for 8 h d -1 for 4 weeks, a total of 160 h. Every 40 h, the concentration and granulometry of suspended p… Show more

“…Similarly, we found that coefficient of variation computed at an hourly basis was 1.653% (CI 95% 1.240-2.065%) in the control and 3.587% (CI 95% 2.713-6.444%) in the HF-DLF, with scarce differences among dilution, suggesting that accumulation of deposited material in the emitters affected the dripline flow performance. Such coefficient of variation was lower than those found in other similar studies [28,29] and can be marginally acceptable as indicated by Bodole et al [26], according to which a test duration of more than 60 min is enough to minimize the uncertainty due to the initial fluctuation of the data. The lower variation of the HF-DLF is likely due to an anti-clogging shape of the present emitters if compared to other emitters [30].…”

“…In researches that aim to improve the performance of drippers, self-cleaning is considered an alternative that should be explored in drippers design phase to provide emitters less susceptible to clogging [11]. Additionally, when adding clay particles, the flow rate of non-pressure compensating drippers [9] and pressure-compensating drippers [12] has been reported to increase in some test conditions.…”

“…Nas Figuras 6C e 6D verifica-se a deposição de partículas sólidas sob a membrana reguladora de pressão e nos labirintos dos modelos M1 e M6, respectivamente, no entanto, não houve obstrução completa desses emissores. No caso do modelo M1 houve aumento de vazão, corroborando com os resultados obtidos Pinto et al (2017), avaliando emissores autocompensantes na presença de partículas de pequena dimensão.…”

“…A obstrução de emissores é influenciada pela qualidade da água de irrigação (Nakayama & Bucks, 1991;Bounoua et al, 2016;Pinto et al, 2017) e pelas dimensões e geometria do labirinto dos emissores (Zhengying et al, 2012;Feng et al, 2018a;Zhou et al, 2019a;Yu et al, 2019), sendo que a maior parte dos estudos se dedica a aspectos relacionados com a qualidade da água. Nakayama & Bucks (1991) apresentam uma classificação bastante utilizada para estimar o risco de obstrução de emissores em função da qualidade da água.…”
