RECIPROCATING PUMPS
 Based on two stroke principles:
√ High pressure, high efficiency
√ Self-priming
X Small quantity, vibration, physical dimension,
uneven flow

 Used mainly for handling slurries in plant processes


and pipeline applications

ROTARY PUMPS
 Positive displacement type

High pressure, high efficiency


Liquids must be free of solids
Handle viscous fluids
 Used mainly in, oil burners, soaps and
cosmetics, sugars, syrup, and molasses,
dyes, ink, bleaches, vegetable and
mineral oils

GEAR PUMPS
 Gears create voids as they come out
LO BE PUMPS of mesh and liquid flows into the
SCREW PUMPS cavities
CAM PUMPS  As the gears come back into mesh,
VANE PUMPS the volume is reduced and the liquid
is forced out of the discharge port
R O TA R Y P U M P S
 As the teeth come out of mesh,
liquid flows into the pump and is
GEAR PUMPS
carried between the teeth and the
LO BE PUMPS casing to the discharge side of the
pump
SCREW PUMPS
 The teeth come back into mesh and
CAM PUMPS the liquid is forced out the discharge
VANE PUMPS port

GEAR PUMPS

LO BE PUMPS  Fluid is carried between the rotor


SCREW PUMPS teeth and the pumping chamber
CAM PUMPS  The rotor surfaces create
VANE PUMPS continuous sealing
 Rotors include bi-wing, tri-lobe,
and multi-lobe configurations

GEAR PUMPS

LO BE PUMPS
 Screw pumps carry fluid in the
spaces between the screw threads.
SCREW PUMPS
 The fluid is displaced axially as the

around inside a slot in the
casing.
 An eccentric cam rotates the

circular plunger (shown in


gray) around the edge of the
casing, fluid is swirled around
the edge to the outlet port.
 It is not in use now and is

mainly of historical curiosity.

GEAR PUMPS

LO BE PUMPS  The vanes are in slots in the rotor.


SCREW PUMPS  Rotor spins, centrifugal force pushes

where they trap and propel fluid.
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS

 WHAT IS CENTRIFUGAL PUMP?


 WORKING MECHANISM OF A CENTRIFUGAL
PUMP
 ADVANTEGAES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
WHAT IS CENTRIFUGAL PUMP?
 Convert the mechanical energy into
hydraulic energy by centrifugal force
on the liquid
 Constitute the most common type of
pumping machinery
 Used to move liquids through a piping
system
 Has two main components:
1. Stationary componets, casing,
casing cover and bearings
2. Rotating components, impeller and
shaft
 Classified into three categories ;
Radial Flow, Mixed Flow, Axial Flow
WORKING MECHANISM OF A
CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
 Simplest piece of equipment
in any process plant
 Energy changes occur by
virtue of impeller and volute
 Liquid is fed into the pump at
the center of a rotating
impeller and thrown outward
by centrifugal force
 The conversion of kinetic
energy into pressure energy
supplies the pressure
Liquid flow path inside a
difference between the
centrifugal pump
suction side and delivery side
of the pump
ADVANTAGES OF CENTRIGUGAL
PUMPS
Advantages

 Simple in construction and cheap


 Handle liquid with large amounts of solids
 No metal to metal fits
 No valves involved in pump operation
 Maintenance costs are lower
DISADVANTAGES OF
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS

Disadvantages

 Cannot handle highly viscous fluids efficiently


 Cannot be operated at high heads
 Maximum efficiency holds over a narrow range of
conditions
PUMPING PROBLEMS
Cavitation

Reduces the pump capacity


Causes metal removal
reduced flow
loss in efficiency
and noise

To avoid cavitation NPSH


POWER AND EFFICIENCY
CALCULATIONS
•The power supplied to the pump:

…………(1)

Where m=mass flow rate, kg/s


H= total discharge head, N.m/kg
=efficiency
…
•The power delivered to the fluid:

……………(2)

•From equations (1) and (2) efficiency:
