A presentation about Pump and Pumping Machinery on our Environmental Engineering subject. Due to privacy concern, only the group members names are kept where the student ID's are removed.
5. A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), by mechanical action,
typically converted from electrical energy into Hydraulic energy. The devices or tools
that are used for pumping is called Pumping Machinery.
9. Purpose of Pump and Pumping Machinery:
• Lifting water from the source so that the water will flow
into the mains by gravity.
• Boosting water from low service areas to high service are
as.
• Increase pressure in the pipe network.
• Transporting water through treatment plants.
• Lifting water to overhead water tanks or reservoir.
10. Classification of Pumps
• Deep well Pumps
• Low-lift Pumps
• High-lift Pumps
• Booster pumps
• Fire service pumps
• Stand-by Pumps
Based on Services
14. Classification of Pumps:
Based on the Principal of Operation, water pump can be classified as below.
• Reciprocating Pumps
• Rotary Pumps
* Volute Pumps
* Diffuser Pumps
* Turbine Pumps
* Axial flow Pumps
Displacement Pumps Centrifugal Pumps Air lift Pumps
