CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
CENTRIFUGAL PUMP CONSTRUCTION
MAIN COMPONENTS OF CENTRIFUGAL
PUMPS
• Impeller: Centrifugal Pumps use impeller as the
primary source for their pumping action. Its function is
to increase the pressure of the liquid.
• Casing: The casing contains the liquid and acts as a
pressure containment vessel that directs the flow of
liquid and out of the centrifugal pump.
• Shaft: The main function of the shaft in a centrifugal
pump is to transmit the input power from the driver to
the impeller.
• Seal: Centrifugal Pumps can be provided with packing
rings or mechanical seals which helps prevent the
leakage of the pumped liquid into the surroundings.
MAIN COMPONENTS
• Bearing: The function of the bearing is
to support the weight of the shaft
assembly, to carry hydraulic loads
acting on the shaft, and to keep the
pump aligned to the shaft of the
driver.
• Coupling: The function of couplings is
to connect the pump shaft and the
driver shaft, and to transmit the input
power from the driver to the pump.

CENTRIFUGAL PUMP IN SERIES
CHARACTERISTICS
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS IN SERIES - HIGH HEAD / LOW
FLOW APPLICATIONS
Putting your centrifugal pumps in series, or connected along a single line,
will let you add the head from each together and meet your high head, low
flow system requirements. This is because the fluid pressure increases as
the continuous flow passes through each pump, much like how a multi-
stage pump works. For example, if two of the same pumps are in series,
the combined performance curve will have double the head of a single
pump for a given flow rate. For two different pumps, the head will still be
added together on the combined pump curve, but the curve will most likely
have a piecewise discontinuity (meaning to curve with protusions as
pictured in the next slide).
PUMPS IN SERIES WITH CONTROL - CONSTANT, HIGH
PRESSURE APPLICATIONS
In situations where a high, constant pressure
is required, consider adding speed control to
the final pump in a series. This configuration
achieves the high pressure that is needed,
while keeping a low flow, because the fixed-
speed pump feeds into the speed-controlled
pump, which adjusts its output with a pressure
transmitter to add only enough head to
maintain a constant pressure.
