Overhung pumps play a crucial role in many industrial applications. These pumps have a unique design where the impeller is mounted on the end of the shaft, extending beyond the last bearing support. This configuration offers several advantages in certain situations. Overhung pumps are widely used in the chemical, petrochemical, and water treatment industries due […]
Centrifugal pumps are essential in many industries, moving fluids efficiently in various applications. These pumps use rotating impellers to create centrifugal force, which pushes liquid outward and increases its velocity. The efficiency of a centrifugal pump is a key factor in its performance, typically ranging from 60% to 80% for well-designed units. Pump efficiency is […]
Centrifugal pumps are vital machines in many industries. They move fluids by using rotational energy from an impeller. These pumps come in various types, each designed for specific applications. Centrifugal pumps can be classified based on their flow direction, number of stages, or impeller design. Some common types include radial flow, axial flow, and mixed […]
Fundamentals of Centrifugal Pumps Centrifugal pumps are vital in many industries. They move fluids using centrifugal force. These pumps have key design features and operate in specific ways. Design Principles Centrifugal pumps have an impeller inside a casing. The impeller has curved blades attached to a central hub. As it spins, it creates a low-pressure […]
