Abstract
The invention relates to a pump arrangement, especially for the operation of an osmotic water purifier comprising a filter housing (10) having a raw water inlet (11), a filtrate outlet (15), a reject outlet (16), and a flush valve (18) adapted to be opened for flushing raw water through the filter housing. The pump arrangement comprises a high pressure pump (12) for supplying raw water at the required pressure, and a circulation pump (13) for recirculating a relatively large flow through the filter housing. The high pressure pump (12) consists of a sliding vane pump of the type in which the vanes (24) are caused to sealingly engage the surrounding wall of the pump chamber by a hycraulic pressure supplied from the pressure side of the high pressure pump. The inlet of the high pressure pump is connected to a pressurized water supply line, whereby, when the flush valve (18) is opened and said pressure ceases, said vanes are moved radially inwards and the high pressure pump is opened for allowing a through flow exceeding its normal capacity.
