Here’s a simple breakdown of a centrifugal pump diagram with labeled components and their functions:
Impeller
Rotating component with curved vanes.
Transfers energy from the motor to the fluid, creating centrifugal force.
Casing (Volute)
Spiral-shaped housing that converts kinetic energy into pressure.
Guides fluid to the discharge outlet.
Suction Inlet
Entry point for fluid into the pump.
Discharge Outlet
Exit point for pressurized fluid.
Shaft
Connects the impeller to the motor/driver.
Bearings
Support the shaft and reduce friction.
Seal (Mechanical Seal/Gland Packing)
Prevents leakage between the shaft and casing.
Motor
Provides power to rotate the impeller.
Suction Inlet → Impeller Rotation → Centrifugal Force → Volute Casing (Pressure Build-Up) → Discharge Outlet
Volute Casing: Most common, spiral design.
Diffuser Casing: Uses fixed vanes for higher efficiency (common in multistage pumps).

(Note: If you need an actual image, I recommend searching "centrifugal pump labeled diagram" on Google Images or engineering sites like Engineering Toolbox.)
