centrifugal pump types
A centrifugal pump produces a head and flow by increasing the velocity of a fluid through the pump via a rotating vane impeller.
The rotating impeller increases pressure and moves the fluid. The fluid enters the pump close to the rotating axis of the impeller and enters the cavities between the vanes of the impeller.
As the 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 More products of pumps
