Pump
“Pump is a machine that imparts energy to the
liquid”.
Why Pumps are Required?
•To move liquid from one point to another at
same or higher elevation.
•To increase pressure of the liquid.

3. 3
Types of Pumps
Pumps can be divided into two
main categories:
Centrifugal Pumps
Positive Displacement Pumps.

4. 4
Centrifugal Pumps
A pump that works on the basis of
centrifugal force is called Centrifugal Pump.

5. 5
Types of Centrifugal Pump
Single Stage Centrifugal Pump.
Multi Stage Centrifugal Pump.
Propeller Pump
Turbine Pump.

6. 6
Single Stage Centrifugal Pump
Only one impeller on the shaft.
Used for low/medium pressure application.
Available in both horizontal & vertical
arrangements.
Mostly end suction with overhung impellers.
Impellers may be single suction or double suction.

7. 7
Multi-Stage Centrifugal Pump
Having two or more impellers on a shaft in series.
Used for higher discharge head.
Impellers are located at the centre of shaft.
Rotor is supported at shaft ends.
It has two stuffing boxes.

8. 8
Propeller Pump
A propeller whips & add energy to liquid instead
of impeller.
Liquid leaves the propeller in the same direction
as it enters.
Can handle large capacities.
Cannot increase much pressure.

9. 9
Turbine Pump
Mixture of impeller & propeller pumps.
Flow is half way through impeller & propeller
pumps.
Can be single or multistage.
Can handle high capacity & low head.

Parts of Centrifugal Pump
The main parts of a centrifugal pump are:
Impeller
Casing
Diffuser
Stuffing Box

11. 11
Impeller
Most important part of centrifugal pump.
Mounted on shaft & rotates with it.
Comprises of eye, vanes and / or shrouds.
Increases velocity of liquid through vanes.

12. 12
Types of Impeller
1.Open Impeller
Vanes are attached to the hub.
No shroud to support vanes.
Good for pumping stringy materials such as paper stock.
2.Semi Open Impeller
Vanes are attached to the hub.
Shroud on one side of the impellers.
Good for viscous fluids.

13. 13
Types of Impellers
3.Closed Impeller
Vanes are attached to the hub.
Shrouds on either sides of the impeller.
Pump efficiency is maintained by the use of close
clearance wear rings.
Good only for reasonably clear liquids.

14. 14
Pump Casing
Enclosed space where the impeller rotates
with the shaft.
Converts velocity of liquid into pressure.
Has close clearance with the impeller.
Has two ends, Suction & Discharge.
Stuffing box is also provided in it.

15. 15
Types of Casing
1.Volute Casing
Passage increases towards discharge nozzle.
Pressure increases due to increase in area of the volute.
2.Concentric Casing.
Passage remains concentric
Discharge nozzle is always on vertical plane along the centre line
of pump.
Diffuser is used to convert velocity into pressure.

16. 16
Diffuser
It is the stationery component in the pump casing.
It converts velocity head into pressure.
It also guides the liquid towards discharge nozzle.
In multistage pump, diffusers guides liquid to the
eye of next stage impeller.

Bearing
Definition
Bearing refers to any kind of support, which is in direct
contact with a moving machine part.
Bearings are designed to minimize friction, wear and
power losses. Every kind of machine uses bearing of
some kind.
Main types
1.Plain bearings
2.Anti-friction bearings

Mechanical Seal Parts
Mechanical seal can be divided into two main Parts:
Rotating Assembly: It comprises of
Rotating face (Usually Carbon face)
Seal ring packing (Secondary seal)
Retainer or Cage
Spring or Bellows
Sleeve
Stationary Assembly: It comprises of
Hard face (Seat)
Gland Plate

Pusher Seals

Internal Single Seal
External Single Seal
Double Seal
Back to Back Configuration
Tandem Configuration

26. 26
Non-Pusher Or Bellow Seals
The seals use a flexible membrane which is in a
fixed position on the shaft and absorbs any
misalignment or movement by the flexibility of
bellows.
Two type of bellow seals are available.
Elastomer Bellows :Uses an elastomer bellow or
diaphragm as the secondary sealing member.
Very useful against excessive shaft end play & run out.
Metal Bellows:Uses a flexible metal bellow instead
of elastomer.
These seals are good for high temperature
applications.
