Optimum configuration and performance experiment of sprinkler-drip dual-purpose irrigation machine

In order to realize a reasonable configuration and low energy consumption, a new light small-moving type of machine with a dual purpose of sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation was introduced, which made the changes of irrigation mode available in accordance with the growth status of different crops or various terrains. The dual-operation irrigation pump 50ZB-25C was used, which was designed by a DOE experiment design and factorial analysis by Jiangsu University. The running parameters and the water distribution uniformity of the machine were studied by both theoretical analysis and outdoor experiments. In theoretical analysis, the reasonable configuration and optimization design of the system could use the advantages in reducing the energy consumption and maximizing the efficiency of the machine. The he experimental results of the operation parameters were consistent with the theoretical values, the relative error of which was 1.08%-2.40%, mainly affected by the wind and terrain slope.
