Technical Specifications
Operating Principle
Centrifugal pumps consist of an impeller, pump casing, and shaft assembly.
The impeller, driven by a motor, imparts kinetic energy to the fluid. As the fluid is thrown from the center toward the outer diameter, the velocity energy is converted into pressure energy within the volute casing, ensuring continuous flow.
Pump flow rate and pressure performance depend on parameters such as:
- Impeller diameter
- Rotational speed
- System resistance

In pump selection, the following parameters must be carefully considered:
- Flow rate (Q)
- Head (H)
- Viscosity
- Temperature
- Particle content
- NPSH value
- Continuous operating conditions
Incorrect selection may lead to cavitation, vibration, low efficiency, and premature failures.
