Centrifugal Pump

Geometry:

Working Principle:
The pump works on the principle of the force vortex flow. it means when a mass of liquid is
rotating by an external torque, the rise in pressure head of the rotating liquid takes places.
This pump is suitable for low head discharge. It develops normally at the head of 50m.

Applications:
It has following applications:

 They are used for general water supply.

 They are useful for pumping sewage and slurries.
 They are used in agriculture foe irrigation purpose.
 In petroleum installation to pump oil.
 Hydraulic control system.
 Fire fighting.

Axial:
 SUBMERSIBLE PUMP

Geometry:
Working Principle:
Submersible pumps consist of centrifugal impellers aligned in vertical position. They produce a vertical
centrifugal thrust which pumps the fluid in and displaces it upwards above the centrifugal impeler there
is a diffuser which builds up pressure by reducing its kinetic energy this is why the submersible pumps
provide good pressure head. The kinetic energy is regained using other impellers.

Applications:
 In sewage treatment plants.
 For seawater handling.
 For pumping water form well.
 For mine dewatering.
 For pumping oil.

Fire Hydrants
Geometry:
Working Principle:

Under normal circumstances, a fire hydrant system is pressurized with water ready for
emergency use. When a hydrant valve is opened, the system experiences a drop in
water pressure. ... Water from the hydrant is then directed through the lay flat fire hose
to a nozzle which is then directed to the seat of a fire.

Applications:
 to increase fire fighting capacity by boosting pressure.
 They can also be used in water transfer.
 They can also be used for irrigation applications.

PD
Piston/ Plunger:

Working Principle:
Piston and plunger pumps consist of a cylinder in which a piston or plungermoves back and
forth. In plunger pumps the plunger moves through a stationary packed seal and is pushed
into the fluid, while in piston pumps the packed seal is carried on the piston that pushes the
fluid out of the cylinder.

Applications:
 Applications that could range from 70 to 2,070 bar.
 In houses for pumping water into tanks.
 For industrial cleaning.
 Hydraulic systems for machining engine parts.
 Lube Pump
Geometry:

Working Principle:
As the gears rotate they separate on the intake side of the pump, creating a void and suction
which is filled by fluid. The fluid is carried by the gears to the discharge side of the pump, where
the meshing of the gears displaces the fluid.

Applications:
 Suitable for handling viscous material.
 Sterile applications.

Peristaltic pump
Geometry:

Working Principle:
The fluid is contained within a flexible hose or tube fitted inside the pumpcasing. The
actual pumping principle, called peristalsis, is based on alternating compression and
relaxation of the hose or tube, drawing content in and propelling product away from the pump.
Applications:
 well suited for common agricultural chemicals.
 pump clean/sterile or aggressive fluids without exposing those fluids to contamination
from exposed pump components.

Diaphragm Pump
Geometry:

Working Principle:
The diaphragm works on an air displacement principle. The membrane is mechanically
pushed and pulled in and out of a pumping chamber. When the diaphragm is collapsed all of
the air is forced out of the diaphragm chamber.

Application:
 they are used in virtually every industry that requires fluid transfer.
 They are often used for dewatering or water removal across many different industries.
 They are used for filling, dispensing and metering due to their efficiency and accuracy.
