Centrifugal pumpsCentrifugal pumpscreation ofcreation of
suctionsuction The liquid enters the suction
nozzle and then into the center
of a revolving device known as
an impeller.
When the impeller rotates, it
spins the liquid sitting in the
cavities between the vanes
outward and provides
centrifugal acceleration. As liquid leaves the eye of the
impeller a low-pressure area is
created causing more liquid to
flow toward the inlet.
Centrifugal pumps creation ofCentrifugal pumps creation of
discharge pressuredischarge pressure Because the impeller
blades are curved, the
fluid is pushed in a
tangential and radialdirection by the
centrifugal force.
This force acting inside
the pump is the same one
that keeps water inside a
bucket that is rotating at
the end of a string.
