Description:
A centrifugal pump is responsible for transporting liquid from one area to another. To achieve this, it uses hydrodynamic energy which is converted from an electric motor's rotational kinetic energy. Basically, it uses centrifugal force to move water or low viscosity oil. Different industries benefit from this equipment. Some of them are agriculture, waste management, mining, and power generation plants. As mentioned, centrifugal
pumps can transport fluid; however, it's essential to know that it is not suitable for high viscosity materials. You will need more horsepower or opt for positive displacement pumps. Centrifugal pump is classified into three - single-stage, two-stage, and multi-stage. These types denote the number of an installed impeller in the pump. For instance, in two-stage, it comes with two impellers while the multi-stage comes with more than three impellers.
