What is a Centrifugal Pump?
Time to Read: 0m 0s
Centrifugal pumps are mechanical devices that transfer rotational energy into hydrodynamic energy. They increase the velocity and pressure of fluids within the pump to generate the necessary flow of various fluids, which direct the fluids toward the pump outlet for industrial and municipal processes.
Available in two standard types, centrifugal pumps can be API or ANSI pumps. API pumps are engineered for high-pressure and high-temperature oil and gas applications, meeting stringent specifications for single-stage and multi-stage operations. Single-stage ANSI pumps were originally produced to serve the chemical industry due to their low-maintenance and high-efficiency features, but now serve various applications across industries.
After the fluid exits the impeller, it enters the pump casing. The velocity of the fluid is transformed into pressure energy, which allows the fluid to move efficiently through industrial, commercial, or domestic applications.

How Does a Centrifugal Pump Work?
These pumps use centrifugal force to convert rotational energy into hydrodynamic energy for various fluid-transferring applications. Fluid enters the pump through the eye and is directed to the impeller, which rotates at high speeds. The impeller rotates to produce kinetic energy, accelerating the fluid and directing it toward the pump outlet.After the fluid exits the impeller, it enters the pump casing. The velocity of the fluid is transformed into pressure energy, which allows the fluid to move efficiently through industrial, commercial, or domestic applications.

Common Applications of Centrifugal Pumps
Many industries utilize centrifugal pumps in their industrial or commercial operations. They can be used to transfer water, solvents, organics, acids, bases, and other thin liquids, as they are designed to accommodate almost any application using low-viscosity fluids. Typical applications of centrifugal pumps include:- Commercial food processing
- Alcoholic beverage manufacturing
- Chemical product synthesis
- Residential waterworks operations
- Oil and gas recovery
- Fire protection systems
- Sewage/slurry disposal
