What is Pump ?

A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries,[1] by

mechanical action, typically converted from electrical energy into hydraulic
energy.

Types of Pumps

Pumps are classified into two types namely Dynamic pumps as well as Positive
Displacement Pumps.

Dynamic Pumps

Dynamic pumps are classified into different types but some of them are discussed
below like  Centrifugal, Vertical centrifugal, Horizontal centrifugal, Submersible,
and Fire hydrant systems.

1). Centrifugal Pumps

These types of pumps are most commonly used worldwide. The working is very
simple, described well and carefully tested. This pump is strong, efficient and
fairly cheap to make. Whenever the pump is in action, then the fluid pressure will
increase from the inlet of the pump to its outlet. The change of pressure will drive
the liquid throughout the system.

Centrifugal Pumps
This kind of pump produces an enhancement within force by transmitting
mechanical power from the electrical motor to the liquid throughout the
revolving impeller. The flow of liquid will enter the center of impeller and exits
along with its blades. The centrifugal power hereby enhances the velocity of fluid
& also the energy like kinetic can be altered to force.

2). Vertical Centrifugal Pumps

Vertical centrifugal pumps are also called as cantilever pumps. These pumps use
an exclusive shaft & maintain design that permits the volume to fall within the pit
as the bearings are external to the pit. This mode of pump utilizes no filling
container to cover the shaft however in its place uses a throttle bushing. A parts
washer is the common application of this kind of pump.

3). Horizontal Centrifugal Pumps

These types of pumps include a minimum of two otherwise more impellers. These
pumps are utilized in pumping services. Every stage is fundamentally a divide
pump.

Horizontal Centrifugal
Pumps
All the phases are in a similar shelter & mounted on a similar shaft. On a solo
horizontal shaft, a minimum of eight otherwise additional stages can be mounted.
Every stage enhances the head by around an equal amount.  These types of
pumps are normally utilized in companies that transfer large amounts of
industrial fluids. All kinds of pumps have been providing as well as servicing this
type of centrifugal pump.
4). Submersible PumpsThese pumps are also named as stormwater, sewage, and
septic pumps. The applications of these pumps mainly include building services,
domestic, commercial, rural, municipal & rainwater recycle application.

Submersible Pumps
These pumps are apt for shifting stormwater, subsoil water, sewage, black water,
grey water, rainwater, trade waste, chemicals, bore water, and foodstuffs. The
applications of these pipes mainly include in different impellers like closed,
contra-block, vortex, multi-stage, single channel, cutter, otherwise grinder pumps.
For different applications, there is an extensive selection is accessible which
includes high flow, low flow, low head, otherwise high head.

5). Fire Hydrant Systems

Fire hydrant pump systems are also named as hydrant boosters, fire pumps, & fire
water pumps. These are high force water pumps intended to enhance the
capacity of fire fighting of construction by increasing the force within the hydrant
service as mains is not sufficient. The applications of this system mainly include
irrigation as well as water transfer.

Fire Hydrant Systems

Positive Displacement Pumps
Positive displacement pumps are classified into different types but some of
them are discussed below like diaphragm, gear, peristaltic, lobe, and piston
pumps.

1). Diaphragm Pumps

Diaphragm pumps also known as AOD pumps (Air operated diaphragms),
pneumatic, and AODD pumps. The applications of these pumps mainly
include in continuous applications like in general plants, industrial and mining.
AOD pumps are particularly employed where power is not obtainable,
otherwise in unstable and combustible regions. These pumps are also utilized
for transferring chemical, food manufacturing, underground coal mines, etc.

Diaphragm Pumps
These pumps are responding pumps and include two diaphragms which are
driven with condensed air. The section of air by transfer valve applies air
alternately toward the two diaphragms; where every diaphragm contains a set
of ball or check valves.
2). Gear Pumps
These pumps are a kind of rotating positive dislocation pump, which means
they force a stable amount of liquid for every revolution. These pumps move
liquid with machinery coming inside and outside of mesh for making a non-
exciting pumping act. These pumps are capable of pumping on high forces &
surpass at pumping high thickness fluids efficiently.

Gear Pumps
A gear pump doesn’t contain any valves to cause losses like friction & also
high impeller velocities. So this pump is compatible for handling thick liquids
like fuel as well as grease oils. These pumps are not suitable for driving solids
as well as harsh liquids.

3). Peristaltic Pumps

Peristaltic pumps are also named as tube pumps, peristaltic pumps. These
are a kind of positive displacement pumps and the applications of these
pumps mainly involve in processing of chemical, food, and water treatment
industries. It makes a stable flow for measuring & blending and also capable
of pumping a variety of liquids like toothpaste and all kinds of chemicals.

4). Lobe Pumps

These pumps offer different characteristics like an excellent high efficiency,
rust resistance, hygienic qualities, reliability, etc. These pumps can handle
high thickness fluids & solids without hurting them. The working of these
pumps can be related to gear pumps, apart from the lobes which do not
approach into contact by each other. Additionally, these pumps have superior
pumping rooms compare with gear pumps that allow them to move slurries.
These are made with stainless steel as well as extremely polished.

Lobe Pump
5). Piston Pumps
Piston pumps are one kind type of positive dislocation pumps wherever the
high force seal responds through the piston. These pumps are frequently used
in water irrigation, scenarios requiring high, reliable pressure and delivery
systems for transferring chocolate, pastry, paint, etc.
