Edmonston Pumping Plant
Edmonston Pumping Plant is a pumping station near the south end of the California Aqueduct, which is the principal feature of the California State Water Project. It lifts water 1,926 feet (600 m) to cross the Tehachapi Mountains where it splits into the west and east branches of the California Aqueduct serving Southern California. It is the most powerful water lifting system in the world, not considering pumped-storage hydroelectricity stations. There are 14 4-stage 80,000-horsepower centrifugal pumps that push the water up to the top of the mountain. Each motor-pump unit stands 65-feet high and weighs 420 tons. The pumps themselves extend downward six floors. Each unit discharges water into a manifold that connects to the main discharge lines. The two main discharge lines stairstep up the mountain in an 8400-foot-long tunnel. They are 12.5 feet in diameter for the first half and 14 feet in diameter for the last half. They each contain 8.5 million gallons of water at all times. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
