It should be noted that both single and double acting working barrels are available. In many instances the double acting barrel is selected because it will pump 65% more water than the same size single acting barrel and uses only 15% more horsepower to do the work.

CONT

Il est à noter qu'on trouve des pistons à simple et à double effet. Le choix porte généralement sur le piston à double effet qui donne un rendement de 65% supérieur à celui du piston à simple effet de même taille, bien qu'il ne requière qu'une puissance additionnelle de 15 pour cent.
