What is a Centrifugal Pump?

Centrifugal pumps are mechanical devices that move liquid by means of the energy generated by the rotation between the impellers.

The liquid enters the rapidly rotating impeller along its axis and is ejected by centrifugal force through the impeller’s vane tips. The movement of the impeller increases the velocity and pressure of the liquid and directs it towards the pump outlet.

How Centrifugal Pumps Work

The impeller is the most important part of irrigation pumps. It consists of a series of curves. These are like a closed impeller between two disks.

The liquid enters the impeller axis, exits through the vanes. The impeller is connected to the motor through a drive shaft.

When the motor starts, the impellers start to rotate at high speed. With the rotation of the impellers, the liquid is accelerated from the impeller vanes to the pump body.

There are two basic designs of the pump casing. The aim of both designs is to convert the liquid flow into a pressure-controlled discharge.

Volute Type Centrifugal Pump

Jet type Pump

Their basic working principles are similar, but snail pumps can suction up to 6 meters at most, while jet pumps can suction up to 9 meters because they contain injectors and diffusers.

Volute type centrifugal pumps are mostly used in field and garden irrigation. Since jet pumps are deeply suctioned, they can pump more pressure than volute pumps.

Usage Areas of Centrifugal Pumps

Centrifugal pumps are widely used for pumping water, solvents, organics, oils, acids, bases and any ‘thin’ liquids in industrial, agricultural and domestic applications.

In fact, there is a suitable water pump design for almost every application involving low viscosity fluids.

Conclusion;

A centrifugal pump works by transferring rotational energy through one or more phase-driven rotors, called impellers. The movement of the impeller increases the speed and pressure of the liquid and directs it to the pump outlet.

Centrifugal pump designs offer cost-effective solutions for pumping fluids such as water, solvents, chemicals, and light oils.

Things to Consider When Buying a Water Pump;

-Use Area

– Landing Depth

-Compression Height

-Distance to transfer the liquid

-The amount of liquid to be pumped,
