Centrifugal Pumps

A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses the principle of centrifugal force to transport fluids. It is the most common type of pump used in industrial and commercial applications due to its simple design, cost-effectiveness, and ability to handle large flow rates.

Centrifugal pumps are widely used for water supply, industrial processes, and HVAC systems. We offer:

  • End Suction Pumps – Compact and efficient, ideal for general water transfer.
  • Split Case Pumps – High-flow capacity, perfect for large-scale water circulation.
  • Vertical Multistage Pumps – High-pressure applications such as RO plants and boiler feed systems.
  • Submersible Pumps – Designed for deep wells, sewage, and drainage applications.
  • Self-Priming Pumps – Eliminates the need for manual priming in drainage and dewatering systems.

Description

⚙️ Working Principle:

  • Fluid enters the pump impeller along or near the rotating axis.

  • It is accelerated by the impeller and pushed outward into a diffuser or volute casing.

  • This converts mechanical energy (from the motor) into kinetic energy, and then into pressure energy, moving the fluid.


🔧 Key Components:

  • Impeller – Rotating component that imparts energy to the fluid.

  • Casing – Houses the impeller and directs the flow.

  • Suction & Discharge Nozzles – Entry and exit points for the fluid.

  • Shaft & Bearings – Support the impeller and transmit motion.

  • Mechanical Seal or Packing – Prevents leakage at the shaft.


📊 Types of Centrifugal Pumps:

  1. Single-stage – One impeller; simple, used for low head applications.

  2. Multi-stage – Multiple impellers; used for high pressure (head) applications.

  3. End-suction – Suction inlet at one end, discharge at the top.

  4. Split-case – Horizontally split casing; easier maintenance.

  5. Vertical inline – Space-saving design; used in HVAC and fire systems.


🧪 Typical Applications:

  • Water supply & distribution

  • Chemical and process industries

  • Oil & gas

  • Irrigation & agriculture

  • HVAC systems

  • Power generation


Advantages:

  • Simple and robust design

  • Smooth flow and continuous operation

  • Easy to install and maintain

  • Suitable for high flow, low-to-medium pressure applications

     Technical Details

    ⚙️ 1. Operating Principle:

    • Converts mechanical energy (from a motor) into hydraulic energy (fluid flow and pressure) using centrifugal force.

    • Fluid enters the impeller eye, gains velocity, and is pushed outward through a volute casing.
