Centrifugal Pumps
Centrifugal pumps have an impeller structure. They get mechanical energy from electric and diesel motors or turbine drivers. They convert the mechanical energy they receive into kinetic energy thanks to the impeller or diffuser inside. The basic materials in the pump are diffuser, volute and impeller. Volute is the area where the water coming out of the impeller is collected. The impeller is the part with curved blades, spun by the liquid and where the mechanical energy is converted into kinetic energy. A diffuser is the structure usually positioned between the impeller and the volute. The ring-like diffuser ensures that a small amount of the high kinetic energy of the water coming out of the impeller part is converted into pressure energy. The stuffing box inside the pump is positioned between the body and the shaft and prevents leakage.
Centrifugal pumps require low maintenance due to their structure and allow long-lasting usage.
