Type of Pumps
Pump Classification
Classified by operating principle
Pumps
If pipe blocked
Pressure rises
Can damage pump
Rotary pump
Displacement by rotary action of gear, cam or
vanes
Several sub-types
Used for special services in industry

Centrifugal Pumps
A machine for moving fluid by
accelerating the fluid RADIALLY
outward.
A collection chamber in the casing
converts much of the Kinetic
Energy (energy due to velocity)
into Head or Pressure.

Centrifugal Pumps
Casings
Functions Volute Casing (Sahdev)
Enclose impeller as pressure vessel
Support and bearing for shaft and impeller
Volute case
Impellers inside casings
Balances hydraulic pressure on pump shaft
Circular casing
Vanes surrounds impeller
Used for multi-stage pumps 16
