Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process of centrifugal pump?

A centrifugal pump operates by using a rotating impeller that accelerates fluid from the pump's eye radially outward to the impeller periphery. The impeller imparts kinetic energy to the fluid, which is then converted to pressure energy in the volute casing. The fluid enters axially through the suction nozzle, gets accelerated by the impeller, and exits tangentially through the discharge nozzle at higher pressure.

What are the 4 types of centrifugal pumps?

The four main types of centrifugal pumps are: 1) Radial flow pumps - fluid flows perpendicular to the shaft, 2) Mixed flow pumps - combination of radial and axial flow, 3) Axial flow pumps - fluid flows parallel to the shaft, and 4) Single-stage vs multi-stage pumps based on the number of impellers. Chemitek specializes in radial flow centrifugal process pumps with both metallic and non-metallic construction options.

What is a main disadvantage of a centrifugal pump?

The main disadvantage of centrifugal pumps is their inability to self-prime and their reduced efficiency when handling viscous fluids or when operating at low flow rates. They also experience performance degradation with cavitation and require minimum flow rates to prevent overheating. However, Chemitek's ANSI compliant designs with priming pot systems and advanced hydraulic designs minimize these limitations.

What is the purpose of a centrifugal pump?

The primary purpose of a centrifugal pump is to transfer fluids by converting rotational kinetic energy from a motor into hydrodynamic energy of fluid flow. They are designed to move liquids from one location to another, increase fluid pressure, and provide continuous flow in industrial processes. Chemitek's centrifugal process pumps are specifically engineered for handling corrosive chemicals, acids, and aggressive media in critical industrial applications.

What materials are used in centrifugal process pump construction?

Centrifugal process pumps are constructed using various materials depending on the application. Metallic options include cast steel, stainless steel 304/316/316L, exotic alloys like Hastelloy, Titanium, and super duplex steels. Non-metallic options feature premium fluoropolymers like PVDF, PFA, and FEP. Chemitek offers both metallic and non-metallic construction with investment casting for superior metallurgical properties.

How do you select the right centrifugal process pump for your application?

Selecting the right centrifugal process pump requires considering flow rate requirements, total head, fluid properties (viscosity, density, corrosiveness), operating temperature and pressure, suction conditions, and material compatibility. Chemitek's application engineers provide detailed consultation to match pump specifications with your process requirements, ensuring optimal performance and longevity for your specific industrial application.
