¨Pumps are divided into two fundamental types based on the manner in which they transmit energy to the pumped media: kinetic or positive displacement. Kinetic Displacement Pumps, a centrifugal force of the rotating element, called an impeller, “impels” kinetic energy to the fluid, moving the fluid from pump suction to …

Classification of Centrifugal Pump
Classification of Centrifugal Pump Centrifugal pumps are classified in several ways. Pumps may be classified: • in terms of energy conversions (volute type and diffuser vane ring type); • in terms of fluid flow through the pump (radial, mixed flow and axial flow); • as either single stage or multistage …
