CENTRIFUGAL PUMP OVERVIEW Presented by Matt Prosoli Of Pumps Plus Inc. 1 Centrifugal Pump- Definition • Centrifugal Pump can be defined as a mechanical device used to transfer liquid of various types. • As the name suggests, it relies on the principal of Centrifugal force. • It converts the energy provided by a prime mover, such as an electric motor, steam turbine, or gasoline engine, to energy within the liquid being pumped. 2 Types of Pumps Pumps Kinetic Positive Displacement Rotary Reciprocating Vane Piston Gear Blow Case Centrifugal Regenerative Special Effect Turbine Screw 3 Types of Pumps Continued….. • Positive Displacement Pump: – Operate by forcing a fixed volume of fluid from the inlet pressure section of the pump into the discharge zone of the pump. They add energy directly to a movable boundary, which imparts the energy to the fluid. • Kinetic Pumps: – Add energy directly through a rotating part in the form of velocity, and converts the velocity to pressure. • Centrifugal Pumps • Regenerative Pumps: Unique pump where the impeller is the only moving part. It is used
