Many new and old customers are familiar with how to operate the pump, but not everyone fully understands the underlying principles. To help you better grasp the fundamentals of our products, Haitan’s technical team is here to explain the basic concepts and classifications of pumps, making it easier for you to choose and use them effectively.
**Introduction to Pump Classification:**
1) **Positive Displacement Pumps** work by changing the volume of a chamber to move fluid. These include piston pumps, plunger pumps, gear pumps, diaphragm pumps, and screw pumps. They are ideal for applications requiring precise flow control and high pressure.
2) **Rotary Vane Pumps** transfer energy through the interaction between rotating vanes and the fluid. This category includes centrifugal pumps, axial flow pumps, and mixed-flow pumps. These pumps are widely used in agriculture, industry, and municipal water systems for tasks like irrigation, drainage, and water supply. Agricultural water pumps, specifically, play a key role in farming operations and are essential components of irrigation and drainage systems.
3) **Water Wheel Pumps** combine elements of both turbines and vane pumps, offering a unique method of water lifting. They are particularly useful in areas where traditional power sources are limited.
4) **Centrifugal Pumps** are the most commonly used type in agriculture, especially for irrigation and water supply. They are effective for high lift and low flow situations. A single-stage centrifugal pump typically has a head ranging from 5 to 125 meters and a discharge flow of 6.3 to 400 cubic meters per hour, with an efficiency of about 86–94%. The pump operates by using centrifugal force to push water outward from the impeller, creating a vacuum that draws in more water continuously. The impeller, which can be closed, semi-closed, or open, is housed within a casing that gradually expands into a volute shape. Single-suction and double-suction models are available, and multi-stage pumps can be constructed by mounting multiple impellers on a single shaft to increase pressure.
5) **Axial Flow Pumps**, also known as propeller pumps, are designed for low head and high flow rate applications. They feature blades mounted on an impeller that rotates to push water along the axis of rotation. After passing through fixed guide vanes, the water's kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy, allowing it to be discharged efficiently. Axial flow pumps are often installed vertically and can have adjustable blade angles to optimize performance under varying conditions. Their head range is typically between 1 and 25 meters, with flow rates up to 60 cubic meters per second and an efficiency of 85–90.5%.
6) **Submersible Electric Pumps** are designed to operate underwater, with both the impeller and motor submerged. They come in two types: deep-well and surface-mounted. Deep-well submersible pumps are powered via cables that extend into the well, eliminating the need for a long drive shaft, which makes them compact and easy to install. These pumps are becoming increasingly popular in areas with access to electricity, though they are not suitable for wells with high sediment content or in non-powered regions. Submersible motors can be dry, semi-dry, oil-filled, or wet, with wet motors being more common in agricultural applications due to their simplified sealing design.
7) **Pump Applications:**
Pumps are used across a wide range of industries and settings, including urban water supply, sewage systems, construction, agriculture, power plants, chemical processing, petroleum, mining, light industry, and marine systems. Each application requires a different type of pump, depending on the media being transported, flow rate, head requirements, and environmental conditions. Understanding these differences helps in selecting the right pump for the job, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
