INTRODUCTION TO PUMP
A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, by
mechanical action. Pumps can be classified into three major groups according to the
method they use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement, and gravity pumps.Pumps operate by some mechanism (typically reciprocating or rotary), and
consume energy to perform mechanical wor by moving the fluid. Pumps operate via
many energy sources, including manual operation, electricity, engines, or wind power ,
come in many si!es, from microscopic for use in medical applications to large industrial
pumps.
"echanical pumps serve in a wide range of applications such as pumping water from
wells, aquarium filtering, pond filtering and aeration, in the car industry for water#
cooling and fuel injection, in the energy industry for pumping oil and natural gas or for
operating cooling towers. $n the medical industry, pumps are used for biochemical
processes in developing and manufacturing medicine, and as artificial replacements for
body parts, in particular the artificial heart and penile prosthesis.
$n biology, many different types of chemical and bio#mechanical pumps
have evolved, and biomimicry is sometimes used in developing new types of mechanical
pumps.
PUMP SELECTIONS
%he following factors influence the choice of pump for a particular operation:
i. %he quantity of liquid to be handled. %his primarily affects the si!e of the pump and
determines whether it is desirable to use a number of pumps in parallel.
ii. %he head against which the liquid is to be pumped. %his will be determined by the
difference in pressure, the vertical height of the downstream and upstream reservoirs
and by the frictional losses which occur in the delivery line. %he suitability of a
centrifugal pump and the number of stages required will largely be determined by
this factor.iii. %he nature of the liquid to be pumped. &or a given throughput, the viscosity largely
determines the friction losses and hence the power required. %he corrosive nature
will determine the material of the construction both for the pump and the pacing.
'ith suspensions, the clearance in the pump must be large compared with the si!e of
the particles.

iv. %he nature of power supply. $f the pump is to be driven by an electric motor or
internal combustion engine, a high#speed centrifugal or rotary pump will be preferred
as it can coupled directly to the motor. imple reciprocating pumps can be connected
to steam or gas engines.
v. $f the pump is used only intermittently, corrosion problems are more liely than with
continuous woring.
vi. %he cost and mechanical efficiency of the pump must always be considered, and it
may be advantageous to select a cheap pump and pay higher replacement or
maintenance costs rather than to install a very epensive pump of high efficiency.

WORKINGPRINCIPLES

i. Piston P!".
%hey use
contracting and
epanding
cavities to
move fluids.
-avities epand and contract in an reciprocating (bac and forth; up and down)
motion rather than a circular (rotary) motion. Piston pumps use a mechanism to
create a reciprocating motion along an ais, which then builds pressure in a cylinder
or woring barrel to force gas or fluid through the pump. %he pressure in the
chamber actuates the valves at both the suction and discharge points. %here is two
types of piston pumps which is:
A. Aial piston pump.
-ontains a number of pistons attached to a cylindrical bloc which
move in the same direction as the bloc

piston housing and cylindrical bloc centerlines determines
the piston stroe. %hese pumps have a low noise level, very
high loads at the lowest speeds and high efficiency,rror:

ii. P#n$%& O& R'! P!"
%his pump is the same in principle as the piston type but differs in that the gland
is at one end of the cylinder maing its replacement easier that with the standard
piston type. %he sealing of piston and ram pumps has been much improved, but
because of the nature of the fluid frequently used, care in selecting and
maintaining the seal is very important.
iii. Di'"&'$! P!"
2iaphragm pump moves gases, liquids or gas#liquid miture via a reciprocating
diaphragm. %hey are highly reliable because they do not include parts that rub
against each other. %hey also contains no sealing or lubricating oils within the
pumping head meaning there is no chance of oil vapor leaage or contamination
of the handled media.
2iaphragm pumps wor by fleing the diaphragm out of the displacement
chamber. 'hen the diaphragm moves out, the volume of the pump increases and
causes the pressure within the chamber to decrease and draw in fluid. %he inward
stroe has the opposite effect, decreasing the volume and increasing the pressure
of the chamber to move out fluid. %his operation is very similar to the draw in,
push out, concept of human breathing.
i. T% !%t%&in$ "!"
"etering pumps are designed to dispense precise amount of fluids and measured
flow control. %hey feature a high level of repetitive accuracy and are capable of
pumping a wide range of chemicals. "etering pumps transfer media in two stages:
the intae stroe and the output stroe. 2uring the intae stroe, liquid is pulled into
the pump cavity past the inlet chec valve. 2uring the output stroe, the inlet valve
closes, the outlet valve opens, and the fluid is forced out. %he flow may be varied by
changing the stroe length or by adjusting the cycle frequency. "etering pumps are
-

usually driven by a constant speed A- motor, although different drive mechanisms
may be used depending upon the application at hand. %he drive mechanism translate
the rotary motion of the driver into reciprocating movement. $ndustrial duty metering
will submerge this portion of the pump in an oil bath to assure sufficient lubrication
and reliability during continuous operation.

i. T% $%'& "!" 'n* t% #o+% "!"
0ear pumps transports liquids using rotating gears. pecifically, they are rotary
positive displacement pumps, which utili!e a rotating mechanism or assembly to
cause this contraction and epansion. %ypically, a rotating assembly of two gears (a
drive gear and an idler) moves to create suction at the pump inlet and draw in fluid.
%he liquid is then directed between the teeth of the gears and the walls of the
casing to the discharge point. 4olume decreases as the liquid travels from inlet to
outlet, causing a buildup pressure. Pressure relief valves are typically built#in to the
pump to protect the pumping system from closed valve in the discharge piping.
&low in gear pumps is determined by the si!e of the cavity (volume) between the
gear teeth, the speed of rotation (rpm) of the gears, and the amount of slippage
(reverse flow). lip increases as pump wears.
ii. T% ,'! "!"
A rotating cam is mounted eccentrically in a cylindrical casing and a very small
clearance is maintained between the outer edge of the cam and the casing. As the
cam rotates it epels liquid from the space ahead of it and sucs in liquid behind
it. %he delivery and suction sides of the pump are separated by sliding valve
which rides on the cam. %he characteristics again are similar to those of the gear
pump.
iii. T% 'n% "!"
%he rotor of the vane pump is mounted off center in the cylindrical casing. $t carries
rectangular vanes in a series of slots arranged at intervals round the curved surface of
the rotor. %he vanes are thrown outwards by a centrifugal action and the fluid is
-

carried in the space bounded by adjacent vanes, the rotor and the casing. "ost of the
wear is on the vanes and this can be readily be replaced.
i. T% -#%i+#% 'n% "!"%he pumps described above will not handle liquids containing solid particles in
suspension, and the fleible vane pump has been developed to overcome this
disadvantage. $n this case, the rotor is an integral elasomer molding of a hub
with fleible vanes which rotates in a cylindrical casing containing a crescent#
shaped bloc, as in the case of the internal gear pump.
. T% -#o/ in*,%& o& "%&ist'#ti, "!"
%his is a special form of pump in which a length of silicone rubber or other
elastic tubing, typically 8 to 3 mm diameter, is compressed in a stages by means
of a rotor. %he tubing is fitted to a curved trac mounted concentrically with a
rotor crying three rollers. As the rollers rotate, they flatten the tube against the
trac at the points of contact. %hese >flats? move the liquid by positive
displacement, and the flow can be precisely controlled by the speed of the motor.
i. T% !ono "!"
Another eample of a positive acting rotary pump is the single screw#etruder
pump typified by the "ono#pump which a specially shaped helical metal rotor
revolves eccentrically within a double#heli, resilient rubber stator of twice the
pitch length of the metal rotor. A continuous forming cavity is created as the
rotor turns# the cavity progressing towards the discharge, advancing in front of a
continuously forming seal line and thus carrying the pumped material within.
ii. S,&%/ "!"
crew pumps are rotary, positive displacement pumps that can have one or more
screws to transfer high or low viscosity fluids along an ais. Although progressive
cavity pumps can be referred to as a single screw pumps, typically screw pumps have
two or more intermeshing screws rotating aially clocwise or counterclocwise.
ach screw thread is matched to carry a specific volume of fluid. 5ie gear pumps,
screw pumps may have a stationary screw with a rotating screw or screws. &luid is

transferred through successive contact between the housing and the screw flights
from one thread to the net.
iii. C%nt&i-$'# P!"
-entrifugal pumps operate using inetic energy to move fluid, utili!ing an
impeller and circular pump casing. A vacuum is created in the pump which
draws fluid to the impeller by suction. %he impeller produces liquid velocity and
the casing forces the liquid to discharge from the pump, converting velocity to
pressure. %his is accomplished by offsetting the impeller in the casing and by
maintaining a close clearance between the impeller and the casing at the
cutwater. =y forcing fluid through without cupping it, centrifugal pumps can
achieve very high flow rates.

%he piston or ram pump may be used for injections of small quantities if

2iaphragm pumps are commonly called >mud hogs? and >mud sucer? because
of their use in pumping slurries and waste water in shallow depths. %hey are
capable of handling all sorts of aggressive media including gases and gas7 liquid
miture, and can achieve very high pressures. %hey should not be used to pump
dangerous or toic gases, since diaphragm pumps are not hermetically sealed.
5arger models of this pumps type are used to move heavy sludge and debris#filled
wastes from trenches and catch basins, applications where centrifugal pumps
perform poorly due to high discharge volumes and low water levels which would
cause them to lose their prime.
