Centrifugal pump basics

[Centrifugal pump basics] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Summary of Video] centrifugal pumps use a rotating device called an impeller to move fluid by stirring it faster and faster in a circular motion and then changing the increased speed into pressure as the impeller stirs the fluid in a rapid circular motion the centrifugal force is created that gives the pump its name compared with positive displacement pumps. centrifugal pumps have the advantage of being able to move higher volumes of fluids however they generally do not have the ability to exert as much pressure on the fluids as positive displacement pumps also centrifugal pumps usually must be primed the impeller is connected by a shaft and a coupling to a driver such as an electric motor during operation the driver rotates the impeller creating centrifugal force that pushes the fluid outward into the valute a radial flow ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ • SUBSCRIBE:    / @4mechengineer655   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ • My Social Media Links: -Main Channel:   / @4mechengineer655   Facebook:  / 4mechengineer   Twitter:  / 4mechengineer   Instagram:  / 4mechengineer   Linkedin:  / 4mechengineer   Website:http://4mechengineer.com/
