Types of Pumps
Pumps are an essential part of many industrial and commercial operations, and there are many different types to choose from. The type of pump you need will depend on the specific application it will be used for. Centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps, vacuum pumps, piston pumps, gear pumps, and sump pumps are all common types of pumps with specific uses. Selecting the correct type of pump for your needs is essential to ensure efficient operation and avoid potential problems.
√ Axial Flow Pump:
An axial flow pump is a positive displacement pump that moves fluid by pushing it through a revolving set of blades or vanes. This type of pump is often used in irrigation systems and industrial applications where large volumes of fluid need to be moved quickly and efficiently.
√ Booster Pump:
A booster pump is a type of centrifugal pump that is used to increase the pressure of a fluid. Booster pumps are commonly used in water systems and in applications where compressed air or other gasses need to be moved.
√ Circulation Pump:
A circular pump is a positive displacement pump that uses a rotating disc to move fluid through a series of chambers. This type of pump is often used in applications where high accuracy is required, such as in metering pumps.
√ Column Pump:
A column pump is a centrifugal pump consisting of a series of vertical columns connected to a rotating impeller. This type of pump is often used in applications where a high degree of resistance to wear is required, such as in sewage treatment plants.
Chopper/ Cutter Pump:
A chopper pump is a type of centrifugal pump designed to handle fluids containing solids. This type of pump is often used in sewage treatment and agriculture applications.
Diaphragm Pump:
A diaphragm pump is a positive displacement pump that uses a diaphragm to move fluid through a series of chambers. This type of pump is also used in applications that require a high degree of accuracy.
√ Fire Pump:
A fire pump is a type of centrifugal pump that is used to provide water to firefighting equipment. Fire pumps are often used in building sprinkler systems and industrial plants.
Grinder Pump:
A grinder pump is a centrifugal pump used to grind wastewater solids into a slurry. Grinder pumps are often used in applications such as sewage treatment and agriculture.
√ HVAC Pump:
An HVAC pump is a centrifugal pump used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. HVAC pumps are often used in building cooling systems and industrial plants.
Multistage Pump:
A multistage pump is a type of centrifugal pump that consists of two or more impellers. Multistage pumps are often used in water systems and boiler feedwater systems.
Self-Priming Pump:
A self-priming pump is a type of centrifugal pump that can draw fluid into the pump without the need for an external source of suction. Self-priming pumps are often used in applications such as irrigation and water systems.
√ Split Case Pump:
A split case pump is a type of centrifugal pump that consists of two halves that are connected by a shaft. Split case pumps are often used in irrigation and water systems applications.
Submersible Mixer Pump:
A submersible mixer pump is a type of centrifugal pump designed to mix fluids and move them. Submersible mixer pumps are often used in sewage treatment and agriculture applications.
Submersible Pump:
A submersible pump is a type of centrifugal pump that is designed to be submerged in fluid. Submersible pumps are often used in applications such as sewage treatment and agriculture.
√ Trash Pump:
A trash pump is a type of centrifugal pump that is designed to handle fluids that contain solids. Trash pumps are often used in applications such as sewage treatment and agriculture.
√ Vertical Turbine Pump:
A vertical turbine pump is a centrifugal pump consisting of a series of vertical impellers connected to a rotating shaft. Vertical turbine pumps are often used in irrigation and water systems applications.
√ Well Pump:
A well pump is a type of centrifugal pump that is used to pump water from a well. Well pumps are often used in domestic and agricultural applications.
