Centrifugal Pump Is Used For Transporting Fluid by Converting Kinetic Energy to Hydrodynamic Energy
centrifugal pump The casing of a centrifugal pump is the part that converts the velocity of the rotating impeller into a controlled flow and directs the fluid out of the pump through a discharge point. The most common casing is a volute, which looks like a snail shell. The impeller is centered within the volute but is not always centered. Instead, the impeller is placed so that its outer diameter is nearest to the volute just past the discharge, or cutwater. The impeller, in a Centrifugal Pump , has a single nozzle that flickers the fluid. The fluid is then moved by the shaft, which is powered by an engine. The engine may be an electric motor, diesel drive, or hydraulic motor. The shaft is concentric with the impeller and the casing. The pump's cover and outlet are connected with the suction pipe. The latter connects to the height at which the fluid is to be transferred. The casing of a centrifugal pump is fitted with a single spiral tube aerator. There are two main types of ...
