Centrifugal Pump How Does It Work |
How it works ?
Like most pumps, a centrifugal pump converts rotational energy, often from a motor, to energy in a moving fluid. A portion of the energy goes into kinetic energy of the fluid. Fluid enters axially through eye of the casing, is caught up in the impeller blades, and is whirled tangentially and radially outward until it leaves through all circumferential parts of the impeller into the diffuser part of the casing. The fluid gains both velocity and pressure while passing through the impeller. The doughnut-shaped diffuser, or scroll, section of the casing decelerates the flow and further increases the pressure.
In this video we look at how centrifugal pumps work, it's main components induction motor, shaft, bearings, impeller and pump casing. The video lecture explores and explains the working principles of a Centrifugal pump providing real life examples.
