Components of Centrifugal pumps Main parts of a centrifugal pump : •Impeller •Casing •Suction pipe •Delivery pipe
Components of Centrifugal pumps Impeller • It is a wheel or rotor which is provided with a series of backward curves vanes or blades. It is mounted on a shaft which is coupled to an external source of energy (electric motor), which imparts required energy to the impeller. • It gets mechanical energy and converts it to kinetic and pressure energy of the fluid. • Liquid enters the impeller through an eye of the impeller, high energy liquid than enters the pump casing.
