Centrifugal pumps are preferred devices in almost every field of industry. It has a mechanical structure that performs the transfer of liquids. For this reason, it is frequently encountered in applications such as oil plants, industrial heating - cooling systems and waste water discharge.

It ensures that the liquid used is transmitted from one place to another or circulated in a closed system in order to increase its pressure. Pumps, whose history dates back to very old years, have thousands of different models today.

Factors such as flow rate, type, pump materials and compatibility, viscosity of the liquid to be used are important criteria in pump selection. Centrifugal pumps are the most preferred pumps in the industrial field. They are basically power tools that work with the help of pressure. It is used to transfer a liquid or to increase the pressure of the liquid.

 In general, centrifugal pumps consist of one or multiple rotating blades called impellers. The rotating blades are housed in a housing called the body and are used to move the liquid by centrifugal force. The rotating impellers in the pressure-based centrifugal pumps create suction force.

How Centrifugal Pumps Work

 On the basis of the working principle, the pumps, which create a pressure area and draw the liquids to this area, work with a different order. First of all, a vacuum area is created inside the pump. Then, water is drawn into this vacuumed area. The drawn water turns the impeller in the pump. With the rotation of the impeller, the water in the pump is thrown out.

There are also different parts in centrifuge pumps, whose basic logic is in this way. The part called the impeller converts kinetic energy into hydraulic energy. Apart from this, there is also a piece called snail. The snail ensures that the water inside is transmitted to the discharge pipe.

Centrifugal Pump Usage Areas

The usage area is quite wide as it allows the water to be evacuated to another place where it is located. Today, it is preferred for agricultural irrigation. It is also used to discharge the water in the spaces out of the building after flood disasters. It is possible to see centrifugal pumps from areas such as petrochemical and oil industry.

At the same time, it provides a significant convenience in eliminating the problems experienced in the sewers. Its use in different sizes and in different areas is increasing. It is a product used for many commercial purposes. If we briefly list the usage areas as examples:

• Water supply

• Industrial washing machines

• Booster systems

• Agricultural irrigation systems

 • Water conditioning

• Heating - cooling and ventilation systems

Centrifugal Pump Types

Centrifugal pumps are characterized by different names within themselves. It can be examined as a mechanical sealed centrifugal pump and a magnetic sealed  pump. In conventional pumps, the impeller is connected to the motor shaft with an equipment in order to prevent leakage. These equipments can be packing, gasket and O-Ring. The main reason for using the equipment is to prevent the liquid from coming into contact with the engine. It is preferred as a common method. However, ensuring the tightness in this way involves a certain level of risk.

The fact that the liquid used is a flammable/flammable liquid further increases the risk level. For this reason, magnetic sealed pumps are preferred for pumping liquids such as flammable liquids, corrosive liquids, acids and high purity water.

The usage area of ​​magnetic sealed centrifugal pumps is quite wide. This is because it has multiple advantages. These:

• Preventing problems that may occur over time, such as in shaft seals and gaskets, by eliminating friction surfaces.

• Affordable maintenance costs

• Increased pump life

 • Maximum durability even at high pressures

We can sort it. If we give an example of usage areas:

• Mining

• Paper mills

• Metal plating processes

• Waste water treatment

• Electronics production

• Printing and printing

• Pharmaceutical and food production facilities

• Facilities where high purity water must be used

• Chemical industries
