Water Pipe Pressure 1

[Da CnS Engr]

Hi Everyone,

I have a development where either side of the water pressure from the pipeline is not enough, say if I tap it from both points, does it mean I would get a combined higher pressure? e.g. Pressure A + Pressure B would meet and result in a higher Pressure A+B

Pls refer to attached image for your reference.

Thanks.

NO.

@jimstructures,

Then what would the pressure be? Do you mind to elaborate more?

THanks

Let us assume you have source A with pressure A1 (higher) and source B with pressure B1 (lower). You bring them together you will likely get the entire system at pressure A1 and backflow into system B.

You may get higher flow, but pressure is limited to the highest current value.

1503-44,

Agreed, minus any system losses.

If an adequate volume of water is available, you may also increase the pressure using pumps.

Pressure is analogous to voltage.

If you had a 110V supply and a 220v supply and you connected them together do you think you would get 330V??

No you wouldn't.

You might get some sparks and a burning smell instead....

Same thing applies here.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

Then there must be a way. Two 12V batteries can get you 24V.

Batteries = pumps
