what is centrifugal pump
Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to move liquids through a piping system. They allow fluid to enter the rotor near its rotating axis, which accelerates the fluid into a chamber. The velocity of the fluid is converted into pressure due to the shape of this chamber, which increases in volume. This increase in pressure causes the fluid to flow into the downstream piping system.
An impeller is a rotor inside a tube that rotates to increase the flow of a fluid. It transfers energy from the centrifugal pump motor to the fluid that it pumps.
Cavitation is a condition in which the centrifugal pump impeller does not receive its maximum supply of fluid. This can occur due to a reduced flow of fluid or over rotation of the impeller. Cavitation can frequently be identified by observing the fluid flow.
