 PUMPS
 A pump is a device that moves fluids
(liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, by
mechanical action, typically converted from
electrical energy into hydraulic energy. Pumps can
be classified into three major groups according to
the method they use to move the fluid: direct
lift, displacement, and gravity pumps.

 Pumps operate by some mechanism

(typically reciprocating or rotary), and
consume energy to perform mechanical
work moving the fluid. Pumps operate via many
energy sources, including manual
operation, electricity, engines, or wind power, and
come in many sizes, from microscopic for use in
medical applications, to large industrial pumps.

 Mechanical pumps serve in a wide range of

applications such as pumping water from
wells, aquarium filtering, pond filtering and aeration,
in the car industry for water-cooling and fuel
injection, in the energy industry for pumping
oil and natural gas or for operating cooling
towers and other components of heating, ventilation
and air conditioning systems. In the medical
industry, pumps are used for biochemical processes
in developing and manufacturing medicine, and as
artificial replacements for body parts, in particular
the artificial heart and penile prosthesis
 TYPES OF PUMPS
 Mechanical pumps may be submerged in the fluid
they are pumping or be placed external to the fluid.

 Pumps can be classified by their method of

displacement into positive-displacement
pumps, impulse pumps, velocity pumps, gravity
pumps, steam pumps and valveless pumps. There
are three basic types of pumps: positive-
displacement, centrifugal and axial-flow pumps. In
centrifugal pumps the direction of flow of the fluid
changes by ninety degrees as it flows over impeller,
while in axial flow pumps the direction of flow is
unchanged.
ROTARY PUMPS
Rotary pump is further classified into three types:

SCREW PUMP
ROTARY PUMP

ROTARY VANE

GEAR PUMP
 ROTARY VANE
 A rotary vane vacuum pump in its simplest definition
is a type of pump technology that enables the
compression of air inside the pump chamber to
create suction for the removal of air molecules from
a vessel or area.

 Rotary vane vacuum pump works on a positive-

displacement pumping principle. The design
consists of a rotor, which is mounted eccentrically
inside a cylindrical housing or stator. Blades,
mounted inside the rotor, move in and out due to
centrifugal force following the internal surface of the
housing.
 CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
Centrifugal is classified into:

CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
RADIAL FLOW

AXIAL FLOW

MIXED FLOW

 A centrifugal pump is a mechanical device designed

to move a fluid by means of the transfer of rotational
energy from one or more driven rotors, called
impellers.

 Fluid enters the rapidly rotating impeller along its

axis and is cast out by centrifugal force along its
circumference through the impeller’s vane tips.

 The action of the impeller increases the fluid’s

velocity and pressure and also directs it towards the
pump outlet. The pump casing is specially
designed to constrict the fluid from the pump inlet,
direct it into the impeller and then slow and control
the fluid before discharge.
 AXIAL FLOW PUMP
 An axial-flow pump, or AFP, is a common type
of pump that essentially consists of a propeller (an
axial impeller) in a pipe. The propeller can be driven
directly by a sealed motor in the pipe or by electric
motor or petrol/diesel engines mounted to the pipe
from the outside or by a right-angle drive shaft that
pierces the pipe.

 Fluid particles, in course of their flow through the

pump, do not change their radial locations since the
change in radius at the entry (called 'suction') and
the exit (called 'discharge') of the pump is very
small. Hence the name "axial" pump.

AN AXIAL-FLOW PUMP FOR INDUSTRIAL USE

WORKING PRINCIPAL

 An axial flow pump has a propeller-type of impeller

running in a casing. The pressure in an axial flow
pump is developed by the flow of liquid over the
blades of impeller. The fluid is pushed in a direction
parallel to the shaft of the impeller, that is, fluid
particles, in course of their flow through the pump,
do not change their radial locations. It allows the
fluid to enter the impeller axially and discharge the
fluid nearly axially. The propeller of an axial flow
pump is driven by a motor.
