Major Types of Industrial Pumps
Industrial pumps come in many different types but can be divided into two categories - dynamic and positive displacement. Each pump has unique advantages that can't be found on other pumps. For instance, dynamic pumps primarily use centrifugal force to create a velocity on the fluid it's handling. Velocity is then converted into pressure, which pushes the fluid through the pump. Meanwhile, positive displacement pumps use the reciprocating motion of pistons, diaphragms, and plungers to move the fluid through the pump. Additionally, these are better used for high-viscosity liquids since they can produce higher pressure. Below is a list of the most popular industrial pumps:
- Centrifugal pumps: Centrifugal pumps are the best choice if you require high flow rates for low-viscosity fluids. These pumps can effortlessly move fluid through the pump using rotational energy from the impellers.
- Submersible pumps: Primarily used in basements and sewages, submersible pumps are used in harsher conditions or areas prone to flooding. An industrial sump pump is an example, as it moves accumulated water and moves it to another location to prevent water levels from rising.
- Piston pumps: A common displacement pump that creates a vacuum or suction is called a piston pump. As the piston moves backward, a void and vacuum is created. When the piston moves forward, the fluid pulled into the pump will be released. The best example is an industrial vacuum pump, ideally used for abrasive liquids.
- Gear pumps: These pumps use rotating gears to move fluids through the pump by displacement. Since the gears rotate in a specific direction, fluid backflow is reduced. It's ideal for clean oil applications and high-viscosity fluids.
Each industrial pump type has subcategories designed to deliver more efficient outcomes. Examples include vertically immersed pumps and multistage pumps, used for predetermined applications.
