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 […]
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 […]
