Abstract

The experimental investigation on a water pressure enhancement system was carried out to study water distribution in a multi-level gravity-fed system. The experimental setup consists of an elevated overhead water tank mounted on a rigid steel frame supplying water through a vertical PVC pipeline. Three outlet points are provided at different heights to simulate water supply conditions in multi-storey buildings. Each outlet is fitted with a control valve and a pressure gauge to measure and regulate pressure and flow. The system operates on gravitational principles, where water pressure varies according to elevation. Lower outlets receive higher pressure while upper outlets experience reduced pressure. By adjusting the control valves, the system enables partial regulation of flow to achieve improved pressure balance among different levels. The experimental results help in understanding the relationship between hydraulic head, pressure distribution, and flow control. This setup serves as a practical and cost-effective model for studying water pressure enhancement techniques and developing efficient water supply solutions for residential and commercial buildings.
