PHYSICAL STUDY OF
PUMP UNIT
OBJECTIVE
• To identify the basic operation of a pump unit.
• To determine the classification and types of a pump
unit.
• To determine the basic operation, application and
uses of a pump unit.
• To determine what are the factor in selecting a pump.
WHAT IS PUMP?
• It is a machine or device that is used to force
a liquid or gas to flow in a particular direction.
It increases the mechanical energy of the
fluid. The additional energy can be used to
increase velocity (flow rate),
pressure,elevation.
COMMON PARTS OF PUMP
CLASSIFICATION OF PUMPS
• Positive • Dynamic Pumps
Displacement Pumps 1. Centrifugal pump
1. Reciprocating 2. Submersible pumps
pumps
3. Fire hydrant system
2. Rotary pumps
 POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMP

•A pump that apply pressure directly to the

liquid by a reciprocating piston, or by rotating
members. It can handle shear sensitive liquid,
use for high pressure application and for
variable viscosity applications.
1.RECIPROCATING PUMPS
• In Reciprocating pumps, the chamber is a stationary
cylinder that contains a piston or plunger.
• Classification;
1. Piston Pump
2. Plunger Pump
3. Diaphragm Pump
PISTON PUMP
• USE
1. transmission of fluids or gases under
pressure.
2. Power consumption is low.
3. Ensure maximum safety.
• Application
1. Laboratories
2. Chemical Process Power Plants
PLUNGER PUMP
• Have high efficiency
• Capable of developing very
high pressures.
• Low and easy maintenance
DIAPHRAGM PUMP
• flexible diaphragm is used (rubber,
thermo-plastic, metal).
• Can be used to make artificial
hearts.
• Can handle highly viscous liquids.
• Can handle toxic or corrosive liquids.
5. 97% efficient.
2.ROTARY PUMPS
• In Rotary pumps, the chamber moves from inlet to discharge
and back to the inlet. A wide variety of rotary pumps are
available like gear pumps, lobe pumps, screw pumps, vane
pumps, peristaltic pump, and progressing cavity pump.
• Types
-Single Rotor
-Multiple Rotor
GEAR PUMP
• It moves a fluid by repeatedly
enclosing a fixed volume using
interlocking cogs or gears,
transferring it mechanically
using a cyclic pumping
action. It delivers a smooth
pulse-free flow proportional to
the rotational speed of its
gears.
SCREW PUMP
• It is a positive-displacement (PD)
pump that use one or several
screws to move fluids or solids
along the screw(s) axis.
LOBE PUMP
• Offer continuous and intermittent
reversible flows and can operate
dry for brief periods of time.
• Flow is relatively independent of
changes in process pressure.
• Used; Industry
-Pulp and paper, chemical, food,
beverage, pharmaceutical and
biotechnology.
VANE PUMP
• It consists of vanes mounted to
a rotor that rotates inside a cavity.
• Used;
1. used as high-pressure hydraulic
pumps
2. In automobiles
3. Carbonators
PERISTALTIC PUMP
It contains fluid within a flexible tube
fitted inside a circular pump casing .
As the rotor turns, the part of the
tube under compression closes
(or occludes), forcing the fluid
through the tube. Additionally, when
the tube opens to its natural state
after the passing of the cam it draws
(restitution) fluid into the pump.
PROGRESSING CAVITY PUMP
• this pump consists of a helical
rotor, about ten times as long as
its width
• As the shaft rotates, the rotor
gradually forces fluid up the
rubber sleeve. Such pumps can
develop very high pressure at
low volumes.
 DYNAMIC PUMPS
• Rotodynamic pump(or dynamic pumps) in which
kinetic energy is added to the fluid by increasing
the flow velocity. This increase in energy is
converted to a gain in potential energy (pressure)
when the velocity is reduced prior to or as the flow
exits the pump into the discharge pipe.
CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
• Centrifugal pumps are used to
transport fluids by the conversion of
rotational kinetic energy to the
hydrodynamic energy of the fluid
flow.
• Use in;
-Water, Sewage, agriculture,
petroleum and
petrochemical pumping.
FIRE HYDRANT SYSTEM
• (also known as fire pump, hydrant
booster, fire water pump) is
technically not a pump but a system
by itself. The hydrant booster
pump usually consists of 1
centrifugal pump and other
components such as control panel
and coupled with either a diesel or
electric driven motor.
HOW PUMPS WORK?
ESSENTIAL FACTORS IN SELECTING A PUMP

• Process Liquid Properties • Materials of Construction

1. Liquid viscosity • Pump Inlet Conditions
2. Temperature • Pump Environment
3. Specific gravity • Power Source Availability
4. Vapor pressure • Flow Rate and Pressure
5. Solids present & concentration
6. Shear sensitive
7. Abrasive or Non-abrasive
