Top Industrial Uses of Centrifugal Pumps in India


 Pumps and motors are one of the cores of urban living. We all use these pumps and motors in our daily life, but might not know the importance of it. One of the most commonly used pumps among all is – Centrifugal pump, which is used in most of our urban activities. These pumps are used for the pumping needs of industries, agriculture, as well as domestic for low-viscosity of fluid.

What is a Centrifugal Pump?

Centrifugal pumps are the most popular and commonly used pump to move fluids. In simple terms, these pumps make use of  rotating impellers to move solid fluids. Centrifugal pumps help to move fluids from one place to another. This is used in various industry applications where the fluid needs to be moved from one location to another.  The process of centrifugal pumps include transferring or energizing the flow of liquids. More than 85% of the world production of the pumps consists of the production of centrifugal pumps. Centrifugal pumps are popular because of their high efficiency and performance.

How does a Centrifugal Pump Work?

Centrifugal pump consists of an impeller that is its most important component. An impeller is a series of curved vanes which are fit between two discs. When liquid enters the casing and falls on the blade, that makes an impeller to rotate creating a centrifugal force that moves fluid outward. The process keeps on repeating until the fluid leaves the impeller. This action of the impeller speed ups the fluid’s velocity and pressure.

These pumps offer simple and low-cost solutions to most low-pressure pumping applications.


Factors Affecting Centrifugal Pump Performance

The overall efficiency of centrifugal pumps depends on its mechanical, volumetric efficiency, hydraulic efficiency, pump size, flow rate, fluid resistance, etc. Hence, following are the major factors that affect the performance of centrifugal pumps.
