An Introduction to Centrifugal Pump Fundamentals
In a previous article, we discussed some common impeller and casing designs. This article will consider what happens when you put the two together. After reading this post, if you’d like to learn more about these types of pumps and other common pump types, check our page about common pump designs. End-Suction Pumps The most … Read more
When you boil them down to the most fundamental components, pumps are made up of two components: An impeller which creates velocity through rotation, And a casing which converts velocity into pressure. There are different types of impellers and different types of casings. The way that different types of impellers and casings are combined produces … Read more
Wikipedia defines a centrifugal pump like this: Centrifugal pumps, are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery. [1] Centrifugal pumps are used to transport liquids/fluids by the conversion of the rotational kinetic energy to the hydro dynamics energy of the liquid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor or turbine. … Read more
