Pump 1 Pump A pump is a device used to move fluids, such as liquids, gases or slurries. A pump displaces a volume by physical or mechanical action. Pumps fall into three major groups: direct lift, displacement, and gravity [1] pumps. Their names describe the method for moving a fluid. Types A small, electrically powered pump A large, electrically driven pump (electropump) for waterworks near the Hengsteysee, Germany. Positive displacement pumps A positive displacement pump causes a fluid to move by trapping a fixed amount of it then forcing (displacing) that trapped volume into the discharge pipe. or A positive displacement pump has an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. Liquid flows into the pump as the cavity on the suction side expands and the liquid flows out of the discharge as the cavity collapses. The volume is constant A lobe pump given each cycle of operation. A positive displacement pump can be further classified according to the mechanism used to move the fluid: • Rotary-type, internal gear, screw, shuttle block, flexible vane or sliding vane, circumferential piston, helical twisted roots (e.g. the Wendelkolben pump) or liquid ring vacuum pumps.
