Working Principle of Rotary Gear Pump

Image
  Moving fluids plays a major role in any plant's process, and moving those fluids requires energy to liquids through pumps. Since pumps have been around for such a long time, it is no surprise that there are a seemingly endless variety of sizes and types used per the industry's requirement. A rotary gear pump is one of those pumps used to transfer all viscous liquids, oil, and petroleum products. Keep reading to know all about the Rotary Gear Pump and how it works   What Is Rotary Gear Pump? Rotary gear pumps are positive displacement pump that has continuous rotary gear. With the help of gear meshing, mechanical energy is converted into fluid energy and this creates void suction. The space that forms between the gear meshing pulls in the high level of viscous liquid by letting them flow towards the wall surface, and then to the output.   How does The Rotary Gear Pump work? Rotary gear pumps use the movement of rotating cogs or gears to move fluids. This is...

Centrifugal Pumps: Components, Working, Types & Applications – A Detailed Guide

Image
  Introduction Centrifugal pumps are one of the most popular pumps used in various industries for moving fluids from one place to another. These pumps work on the principle of converting mechanical energy from a motor into kinetic energy, used to drive the fluid through the pump and into the discharge pipe.  The reason why Centrifugal pumps are the first choice for numerous applications is their pumping efficiency, high flow rate, and durable design. There are different types of centrifugal pumps available for diverse applications.  When installing a pump, it is important to choose the right pump type, as it ensures that your pump systems operate for years without any interruption.  To select the right centrifugal pump, you must have complete knowledge of what a centrifugal pump is, its components, different types, working, and so on. This blog will take a detailed look at Centrifugal Pumps and will give you an in-depth understanding of topics such as:  ⦁ Defi...

  If you’re looking for a perfect solution for fluid transfer, you should consider an end suction pump for your needs. End suction pumps are well-capable and can manage a wide range of fluid types, which is primarily why they’re so popular in almost all industries. The best part? — End suction pumps have become pretty affordable for small, medium, and large businesses. If you’re planning to invest in an end suction pump , it is important to know all about it. In this post, we have shared everything there is to know about end suction pumps so that you can make a well-informed decision. What is an End Suction Pump? An end suction pump is basically a type of centrifugal pump that comes with one impeller, a fluid inlet at the side face, and a fluid outlet at the top.  The fluid that is pumped will gradually increase velocity as it begins passing through the impeller. The built-in diffuser, on the other hand, converts the high velocity into high pressure before relieving the fluid...
