Centrifugal Process Pump
A centrifugal process pump is a type of pump commonly used to transport fluids in industrial processes by converting rotational kinetic energy to hydrodynamic energy of fluid flow. This energy conversion is achieved using an impeller, a rotating component inside the pump.
⚙️ Working Principle
This pump operates by converting mechanical energy from a motor into kinetic energy through a rotating impeller. The fluid enters the impeller eye and is flung outward by centrifugal force, increasing the velocity and pressure before exiting through the discharge nozzle.
