centrifugal pump diagram

Here’s a simple breakdown of a centrifugal pump diagram with labeled components and their functions:

Centrifugal Pump Diagram (Key Parts)

  1. Impeller

    • Rotating component with curved vanes.

    • Transfers energy from the motor to the fluid, creating centrifugal force.

  2. Casing (Volute)

    • Spiral-shaped housing that converts kinetic energy into pressure.

    • Guides fluid to the discharge outlet.

  3. Suction Inlet

    • Entry point for fluid into the pump.

  4. Discharge Outlet

    • Exit point for pressurized fluid.

  5. Shaft

    • Connects the impeller to the motor/driver.

  6. Bearings

    • Support the shaft and reduce friction.

  7. Seal (Mechanical Seal/Gland Packing)

    • Prevents leakage between the shaft and casing.

  8. Motor

    • Provides power to rotate the impeller.

Simplified Diagram Flow:

Suction Inlet → Impeller Rotation → Centrifugal Force → Volute Casing (Pressure Build-Up) → Discharge Outlet

Types of Casings:

  • Volute Casing: Most common, spiral design.

  • Diffuser Casing: Uses fixed vanes for higher efficiency (common in multistage pumps).
