Understanding Gravity-Fed Systems: Advantages and Limitations
Gravity-fed refers to a system or device that uses the force of gravity to move fluids, such as water or air, through a pipe or tube. In a gravity-fed system, the fluid flows downhill or under the influence of gravity, without the need for any external pumps or motors. This type of system is often used in plumbing and irrigation applications, where the force of gravity is sufficient to move the fluid through the system.
Gravity-fed systems are simple, reliable, and energy-efficient, as they do not require any external power sources. However, they are limited by the availability of gravity, and may not be suitable for applications that require high pressure or flow rates. In these cases, a pump-fed system may be more appropriate.
