HOW DOES A CENTRIFUGAL PUMP WORK?

Advertisement

Fluid enters the impeller axially through the eye then by centrifugal action or force continues radially and discharges around the entire circumference. The fluid in passing through the impeller receives energy from the vanes giving an increase of pressure and velocity. The kinetic (velocity) energy of the discharging fluid is partly converted to pressure energy by suitable design of impeller vanes and volute casing.

centrifugal pump has two main components:

A rotating component -    comprised of impeller                                                  and a shaft 

A stationary component - comprised of a volute                                                    casing, casing cover,.                                                    bearings.
