Pumping Machineries

Front

What is a pump?

Back

A device used to lift or transfer water from one source to another, which may be engine or motor driven, or powered by wind or solar energy.

Front

What are Dynamic Pressure Pumps?

Back

Pumps that utilize fluid momentum and velocity to generate pump pressure, specifically centrifugal pumps.

Front

What is a Centrifugal Pump?

Back

A type of dynamic pressure pump that generates velocity using an impeller to apply centrifugal force to the moving liquid.

Front

What is the function of a pump casing in a volute pump?

Back

It directs the water to the volute and eventually to the outlet.

Front

What are the two types of suction in a volute pump?

Back

Single suction and double suction.

Front

What is a Diffuser Pump?

Back

A pump that has stationary vanes surrounding the impeller to help direct the flow of liquid.

Front

What is an Axial Flow Pump?

Back

A pump that develops most of the suction and discharge head by the propelling or lifting action of the impeller vanes housed inside a tube below the water level.

Front

What is a Submersible Pump?

Back

A pump suitable for installation in a deep well, with sealed electric motor and cables that can operate underwater.

Front

What is Mixed Flow in pumping?

Back

A method that is more efficient at pumping larger quantities of water and at higher pressures than centrifugal or axial flow pumps.

Front

What are Jet Pumps?

Back

Pumps that utilize a suction pipe submerged in the water source, combining principles of centrifugal pumping and an injector.
