 What is the pump?

A pump is a device that moves

fluids (liquids or gases), or
sometimes slurries, by
mechanical action.

Transfer liquid from source to

destination


 What are use of Pump ?
Used for
• Domestic, commercial, industrial and
agricultural services
• Municipal water and wastewater
services
20% of world’s electrical energy
demand
25-50% of energy usage in some
 Types of pump

The pumps can be classified according to

principle by which the energy is added
to the fluid & their design feature -
1 . Positive displacement pumps
2 . Roto dynamic pump or
non-displacement type pump
 Positive Displacement pump

These pumps are operate on the principle

of the definite quantity of liquid is
discharged or displaced due to the
positive or real displacement of working
element ( like piston ,gear, vane, screw)
 Positive Displacement pump
1 . Reciprocating pumps :-
a. Piston pumps :-
- single cylinder
- double cylinder
b. Plunger pumps :-
c. Bucket pumps / hand pumps :-

2 . Rotary pumps :-
a. Gear pumps .
b. Vane pumps .
c. Screw pumps .
 Reciprocating pump

Reciprocating pump is a positive

displacement pump. In this pump the
liquid is discharge due to the simple to
and fro motion or reciprocating motion
of the piston or plunger working in the
cylinder of the pump. Hence ,it is
called Reciprocating pump .
 Roto dynamic pumps

These pumps operate on the principle of

the rise in pressure energy of liquid by
dynamic action of liquid. The dynamic
action of liquid is carried out by
revolving wheel which has curved vanes
on it. This wheel is known as impeller.
 Classification of Reciprocating
pump
1.Based on reciprocating member of the pump.
• a . Piston pump b . Plunger
pump c . Bucket pump
2.Based on action of liquid
upon the piston ends
• a . Single acting pump b . Double
acting pump
3.Based on method of drive
• a . Direct acting pump b . Power
pump
 Roto dynamic pumps
1 . Centrifugal pumps :-
a. Single stage
b. multi stage
2. Propeller (Axial flow) pumps :-
3 . Mixed flow pumps :-
 Centrifugal pumps
 If mechanical energy is converted
into means of centrifugal force acting
on the fluid , for conveying liquids from
one place to
other such
device is
called
centrifugal pump
 Centrifugal pumps

Main parts of a Centrifugal pumps :-

1 . Impeller
2 . Casing Volute

3 . Suction pipe with

foot valve &
a stainer
Suction
4 . Delivery pipe Impeller
How the centrifugal pump works
 Liquid forced into
impeller
 Vanes pass kinetic
energy to liquid:
liquid rotates and
leaves impeller
 Volute casing
converts kinetic
energy into pressure
energy
How the centrifugal pump works
 Types of centrifugal pump
1 . Based on type of casing :-
a . Volute or spiral casing type pump
b . Vortex or whirlpool chamber type pump
c . Diffuser type(casing with guide blades)
2 . Based on no of stage :-
a . Single stage
b . Multi
stage
- Impe

 Rotary pump

Rotary pumps are positive displacement

pumps. It consists of a fixed casing with a
rotor which may be in the form of
gears , vanes , lobes , screws , cams etc .
Both centrifugal and rotary pumps by
circular motion of rotor , but they work
on different principle .
It is suitable for pumping viscous fluids
 Classification of Rotary pump

Rotary pump can be classified according

to the type of rotating elements in the
fixed casing .
There are main three type of rotary
pump .
1 . Gear pump
2 . Vane pump
