As centrifugal pump impeller rotates
As centrifugal pump impeller rotates
As the centrifugal pump impeller rotates, the fluid flows outward from the central axis into a chamber where it is discharged. As the fluid leaves the the axis of the impeller, a low pressure area is created and this draws more liquid into the pump inlet.
Centrifugal pump types include radial, axial and mixed flow and can be categorised into the following groups.
- End suction pumps
- In-line pumps
- Double suction pumps
- Vertical multistage pumps
- Horizontal multistage pumps
- Submersible pumps
- Self-priming pumps
- Axial-flow pumps
Multistage Centrifugal Pump
A Centrifugal pump with two or more impellers is called a Multistage Centrifugal Pump. The impellers can be mounted on a single or multiple shafts and can be connected to increase pressure or flowrate.
