centrifugal water pump

A centrifugal water pump is a type of pump that uses centrifugal force to move water or other fluids. It works by converting rotational kinetic energy from a motor into hydrodynamic energy in the fluid being pumped.

The pump consists of an impeller, which is a rotating disk with curved blades, enclosed in a casing. When the motor spins the impeller, it creates a centrifugal force that pushes the fluid away from the center of rotation. This force causes the fluid to move radially outward and into the casing.

As the fluid moves through the casing, its velocity and pressure increase. It then exits the pump through a discharge outlet, where it can be directed to the desired location. The impeller and casing are designed to maximize the conversion of rotational energy into fluid energy, resulting in efficient pumping.

Centrifugal water pumps are commonly used in various applications, such as irrigation, industrial processes, and water supply systems. They are preferred for their simplicity, reliability, and ability to handle large volumes of fluid. However, they may not be suitable for high-pressure applications or pumping viscous fluids.
