    Centrifugal pumps were invented in 1475 and use centrifugal force to move liquids through piping systems. They consist of an impeller and casing that uses kinetic energy to increase pressure and move liquids from the suction to delivery side. Centrifugal pumps are simple to construct and maintain, with no valves, but are limited to low viscosity fluids and heads. Multistage centrifugal pumps can develop higher heads or discharges by connecting impellers in series or parallel. Selection of a centrifugal pump depends on factors like the fluid properties, required flow rate, available power source, and cost.

    Centrifugal pumps

    Introduction
    First centrifugal pump was invented in 1475 by the Italian
    engineer.

    Centrifugal pump is a kind of rotary machinery used for
    pumping water through the centrifugal movement.

    Centrifugal pump is used to convert the mechanical energy into
    hydraulic energy by centrifugal force on the liquid.

    It is the most common type of pumping machinery used to
    move liquids through a piping system.


    Main part of Centrifugal pump





    Impeller (Rotary element)

    Casing ( Volute) suction pipe with a foot valve

    Delivery pipe main part of centrifugal pump
    Working principle


    Simplest piece of equipment.

    Energy changes occur by virtue of impeller and volute liquid
    is fed into the pump at the center of a rotating impeller and
    thrown outward by centrifugal force.

    The conversion of kinetic energy into pressure energy supplies
    the pressure difference between the suction side and delivery
    side of the pump.





    Advantages of Centrifugal Pump


    Simple in construction

    No valves involved in pump operation

    Maintenance costs are lower



    Disadvantages of Centrifugal Pump


    Cannot handle highly viscous fluids efficiently

    Cannot be operated at high heads

    Maximum efficiency holds over a narrow range of conditions.




    Multistage Centrifugal Pump
    A centrifugal pump that consists of two or more impellers
    mounted on the same shaft or on different shafts is called the
    MULTISTAGE centrifugal pump.

    Multistage pumps are employed to accomplish the following
    two important functions.

    1. To produce a high head: If a high head is to be developed the
    impeller are connected in series or same shaft

    2. To develop a high discharge: If a high discharge is to be
    developed the impeller are connected in parallel.




    Selection of Centrifugal Pump
    Selection of pump depends upon

    The amount of fluid,

    The properties of the fluid,

    Type of power supply,

    Cost and mechanical efficiency of the pump.
