a centrifugal pump
Centrifugal pumps are the most common type of pump. A centrifugal pump uses one or more impellers attached to and rotating with the shaft providing the energy that moves liquid through the pump.
This movement also pressurises the liquid to move it through the piping system.
A centrifugal pump works by directing the liquid in the system into the suction port of the centrifugal pump and from there into the inlet of the impeller.
The rotating impeller moves the liquid along the spinning vanes, increasing its velocity energy into the pump volute or diffuser casing.
