Pumps and its classification
Introduction
A pump is a machine used to move liquid through a piping system and to raise the pressure of the
liquid (US-DOE, 2006; Ksrassik et al 2011). It is a hydraulic machine which converts mechanical
energy into hydraulic energy. Pump can be classified into three major groups according to the
method they use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement and gravity pump.
Pumps operate by some mechanism (typically reciprocating or rotary), and consume energy to
perform mechanical work by moving the fluid.
4
Diaphragm pumps - similar to plunger pumps, where the plunger pressurizes hydraulic oil
which is used to flex a diaphragm in the pumping cylinder. Diaphragm valves are used to
pump hazardous and toxic fluids.
Piston displacement pumps - usually simple devices for pumping small amounts of liquid
or gel manually.
Centrifugal pump are often associated with the radial-flow type. However, the term "centrifugal
pump" can be used to describe all impeller type rotodynamic pumps including the radial, axial
and mixed-flow variations.
5
Figure 2.1 Major pump categories
2.4.(a) Axial-Flow Pump
Axial-flow pump differ from radial-flow pump in that the fluid enters and exits along the same
direction parallel to the rotating shaft. The fluid is not accelerated but instead "lifted" by the
action of the impeller. Axial-flow pump operate at lower pressure and higher flow rates than
radial-flow pump.
6
the discharge head which is preventing the water coming from the column assembly leak into the
motor side. The column assembly is composed of pipes which are connected to each other and
the bottom end of the column assembly in the vertical direction is connected to the discharge part
of the pump. The intermediate shaft is located in the column assembly and connected to the head
shaft and pump shaft by means of coupling connections.
