• Centrifugal force is the outward
force.
• Centrifugal pumps turn kinetic
energy into flow energy (pressure).
• Wide range of pressures and flow
rates.
• Basic process:
 Shaft (driven by motor)
 Fluid enters the suction eye
 Impeller pushes the water and
increases its speed
 Water moves outward moving
very fast
 The volute widens and KE is
turned into pressure.

water out.
• They do not “dig in”.
• If installed backwards or if
the prime mover rotates in
reverse, the pump will
operate at a significantly
reduced capacity.
• The open impeller consists
only of blades attached to
a hub.
• Open impellers are good

© 2003 General Physics Corporation
DIFFUSER CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
• In diffuser pumps, the volute is enhanced with a diffuser and
a series of stationary vanes arranged around the impeller.
1) The purpose of the diffuser is to increase the efficiency of
the centrifugal pump by straightening the flow in the
volute.
a) This reduces turbulence and allows a more gradual
conversion of velocity head to pressure head.
2) Since the vanes are farther apart at their outermost
points than at the edge of the impeller, they create a
series of widening chambers that convert kinetic energy
into pressure in the same way that a volute does.
3) The diffuser vane helps balance the radial thrust loads on
the impeller, shaft, and journal bearings for varying flow
conditions.

Centrifugal Pump Operation
Fig 2-56
Objective 14b. DESCRIBE the operation of centrifugal pumps,
including requirements for the following: Starting a centrifugal
pump
• A centrifugal pump is not self priming and requires adequate
net positive suction head (NPSH) to prevent cavitation.
• There are two reasons for closing the discharge valve:
First, it minimizes the chances of pump runout.
[Objective 14e and 18]
Second, it prevents backflow through the pump that can
result in abnormally high starting currents, which could
damage the motor windings.
Fig 2-57
© 2003 General Physics Corporation
CENTRIFUGAL PUMP COOLING
• Many centrifugal pumps are designed to operate
continuously for months or even years.
• Closing the pump discharge valve while the pump is still
operating stops flow through the pump and the pump will
no longer be adequately cooled.
• Pump damage can also result from pumping a liquid whose
temperature is close to saturated conditions.
• Overheating will occur if a pump is operated against a
closed valve (dead headed) for more than a few minutes.
Objective 14c. DESCRIBE the operation of centrifugal pumps,
including requirements for the following: Operation with a
centrifugal pump dead headed.
© 2003 General Physics Corporation
CENTRIFUGAL PUMP COOLING
• This is called operating at shutoff head.
• Shutoff head is generally defined as the maximum value of
head that a pump can produce.
• Operating a centrifugal pump with the discharge valve
closed is also called dead heading the pump.
• Because the fluid in the pump has no where to go the
spinning impeller heats the fluid.
• This has two disastrous results.
Objective 14c. DESCRIBE the operation of centrifugal pumps,
including requirements for the following: Operation with a
centrifugal pump dead headed.
© 2003 General Physics Corporation
CENTRIFUGAL PUMP COOLING
• This has two disastrous results.
1) Heat from the heated fluid is transferred to the internal
pump components.
a) This can cause damage to bearings and components
with close tolerances.
b) The casing and wearing rings may expand from the
heat and come in contact with one another.
2) Secondly, the heated fluid may reduce the net positive
suction head available by raising the temperature of the
fluid to a saturated temperature.
a) As the fluid reaches saturated temperature it also
reaches saturation pressure.
b) This can result in cavitation of the pump and severe
and rapid damage.
Objective 14a. NPSH.
© 2003 General Physics Corporation
CENTRIFUGAL PUMP COOLING
In many applications, a bypass or minimum flow line prevents
the pump from operating at shutoff head.
• With these modifications, an amount of flow necessary to cool
the pump can be maintained.
• The smallest amount of flow that prevents overheating is
called the pump minimum flow requirement.
Objective 14d. DESCRIBE the operation of centrifugal pumps,
including requirements for the following: Minimum flow.

EXAMPLE 2-17
A regulating water pump is operating at 1,000 rpm.
Its capacity is 50.0 m3/hour at a discharge head of 70
kPa that requires a power of 50 kW. Determine the
pump capacity, discharge head, and power
requirements if the pump speed is increased to 2,000
rpm.

CENTRIFUGAL PUMP CHARACTERISTICS
Objective 17. DETERMINE the effects of changes for a centrifugal
pump in flow, pump speed, or system characteristic curve on the
system operating point.
One of the most important characteristics of a pump is its
capacity, or how much fluid it moves per unit time.
• The capacity of a centrifugal pump decreases as the
pressure at the pump discharge increases.
• At a particular pressure, called the shutoff head, the
pump moves no fluid at all.
• A plot for a centrifugal pump that shows discharge head
versus capacity for a given pump speed is often called
the pump characteristic curve.
Objective 18. DESCRIBE pump shutoff head and runout, including
definitions, causes, effects on centrifugal pump operation, and
methods of prevention [Objective 14e].

Effects at Shutoff Head
Objective 18. DESCRIBE pump shutoff head and runout, including
definitions, causes, effects on centrifugal pump operation, and
methods of prevention.
At shutoff head (also called “dead-headed”) the pump is
producing the maximum value of discharge head. However, a
pump can only operate at shutoff head for only a few minutes.
• The resulting friction increases pump and fluid temperature.
• Overheating of the pump may occur at this point.
© 2003 General Physics Corporation
Effects at Runout
• Runout, an abnormally high flow rate from a centrifugal
pump, can lead to mechanical stress on the pump and
excessive motor current.
• If the pump discharges directly to the atmosphere, the pump
capacity is at its maximum.
• Runout is the result of a loss of downstream pressure (piping
not filled and vented, leak or pipe break).
• The drop in pressure speeds up the pump and causes
excessive motor current, which may result in damage to the
windings.
• The low backpressure can also result in cavitation and
excessive flow.
Objective 18. DESCRIBE pump shutoff head and runout, including
definitions, causes, effects on centrifugal pump operation, and
methods of prevention.
© 2003 General Physics Corporation
Prevention of Runout
• To help prevent runout, ensure proper venting and filling of
systems before pump startup.
• High motor current trips protect pump motors from winding
damage due to runout.
• Limit the flow (“One method for ensuring that there is always
adequate flow resistance at the pump discharge to prevent
excessive flow through the pump is to place an orifice or a
throttle valve immediately downstream of the pump
discharge. Properly designed piping systems are very
important to protect from runout.”)
Objective 18. DESCRIBE pump shutoff head and runout, including
definitions, causes, effects on centrifugal pump operation, and
methods of prevention [Objective 14e].

EFFECT OF DOUBLING
CENTRIFUGAL PUMP SPEED

Objective 20. DESCRIBE the shape of the characteristic curves for
the following centrifugal pump operating modes:
a. One pump in slow speed
b. One pump in fast speed
c. Two pumps in parallel
d. Two pumps in series
• Based on the pump laws previously discussed, if the pump
speeds up, the entire characteristic curve moves outward,
away from the origin.
• The pump capacity increases by the same factor as the
speed increases, and the pump discharge head increases as
the square of the factor by which the speed increases.

Objective 20a,b • If the pump operates at
constant efficiency, the power
required to operate the pump at
a new speed increases as the
cube of the factor by which the
speed increases.
• However, pump efficiency
varies widely over an operating
range and with speed as well.

• Jet pumps are static (static in this use means no moving parts)
devices that convert high pressure driving flow developed by
an external source into a high velocity jet flow at low pressure.
• The fluid to be moved surrounds the high velocity jet.
• The benefits of this pump are low maintenance, high reliability,
and small size when compared with other pumps of the same
capacity.
• A disadvantage is the need for a high pressure supply to
develop the required high head for the driving flow.

  • 35. © 2003 General Physics Corporation DIFFUSER CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS • In diffuser pumps, the volute is enhanced with a diffuser and a series of stationary vanes arranged around the impeller. 1) The purpose of the diffuser is to increase the efficiency of the centrifugal pump by straightening the flow in the volute. a) This reduces turbulence and allows a more gradual conversion of velocity head to pressure head. 2) Since the vanes are farther apart at their outermost points than at the edge of the impeller, they create a series of widening chambers that convert kinetic energy into pressure in the same way that a volute does. 3) The diffuser vane helps balance the radial thrust loads on the impeller, shaft, and journal bearings for varying flow conditions.

DESCRIBE the operation of centrifugal pumps, including requirements for the following: Starting a centrifugal pump • A centrifugal pump is not self priming and requires adequate net positive suction head (NPSH) to prevent cavitation. • There are two reasons for closing the discharge valve: First, it minimizes the chances of pump runout. [Objective 14e and 18] Second, it prevents backflow through the pump that can result in abnormally high starting currents, which could damage the motor windings. Fig 2-57

DETERMINE the effects of changes for a centrifugal pump in flow, pump speed, or system characteristic curve on the system operating point. One of the most important characteristics of a pump is its capacity, or how much fluid it moves per unit time. • The capacity of a centrifugal pump decreases as the pressure at the pump discharge increases. • At a particular pressure, called the shutoff head, the pump moves no fluid at all. • A plot for a centrifugal pump that shows discharge head versus capacity for a given pump speed is often called the pump characteristic curve. Objective 18. DESCRIBE pump shutoff head and runout, including definitions, causes, effects on centrifugal pump operation, and methods of prevention [Objective 14e].

  • 57. © 2003 General Physics Corporation Effects at Shutoff Head Objective 18. DESCRIBE pump shutoff head and runout, including definitions, causes, effects on centrifugal pump operation, and methods of prevention. At shutoff head (also called “dead-headed”) the pump is producing the maximum value of discharge head. However, a pump can only operate at shutoff head for only a few minutes. • The resulting friction increases pump and fluid temperature. • Overheating of the pump may occur at this point.
  • 58. © 2003 General Physics Corporation Effects at Runout • Runout, an abnormally high flow rate from a centrifugal pump, can lead to mechanical stress on the pump and excessive motor current. • If the pump discharges directly to the atmosphere, the pump capacity is at its maximum. • Runout is the result of a loss of downstream pressure (piping not filled and vented, leak or pipe break). • The drop in pressure speeds up the pump and causes excessive motor current, which may result in damage to the windings. • The low backpressure can also result in cavitation and excessive flow. Objective 18. DESCRIBE pump shutoff head and runout, including definitions, causes, effects on centrifugal pump operation, and methods of prevention.
  • 59. © 2003 General Physics Corporation Prevention of Runout • To help prevent runout, ensure proper venting and filling of systems before pump startup. • High motor current trips protect pump motors from winding damage due to runout. • Limit the flow (“One method for ensuring that there is always adequate flow resistance at the pump discharge to prevent excessive flow through the pump is to place an orifice or a throttle valve immediately downstream of the pump discharge. Properly designed piping systems are very important to protect from runout.”) Objective 18.
