Centrifugal pumps are used in many different industries for many different purposes. Centrifugal pumps are like water turbines in reverse. They use a motor to move an impeller, converting rotational energy into kinetic energy, pushing water through the chamber or casing. When the water enters the … [Read more...] about Best Uses for Centrifugal Pumps
How to Extend the Life of Your Centrifugal Pump Bearings
A centrifugal pump is only as good as its bearings. Luckily, though, bearings can be maintained to provide many hours of service, simply by knowing what causes them to fail and taking steps to neutralise the cause. Maintaining the bearings is part of an overall maintenance program that includes … [Read more...] about How to Extend the Life of Your Centrifugal Pump Bearings
Understanding Centrifugal Pump Curves in Parallel
Many engineers have one centrifugal pump and decide to run another with it in parallel to provide pump redundancy, enhance system flexibility or obtain higher system flows. If a project so large that available pumps aren’t large enough, more than one pump is mathematically indicated. However, … [Read more...] about Understanding Centrifugal Pump Curves in Parallel
