Frequently Asked Questions

Are transfer pumps centrifugal?

Yes, many transfer pumps are centrifugal type. Centrifugal transfer pumps use rotating impellers to create centrifugal force that moves fluids from inlet to discharge. They are ideal for transferring large volumes of liquids in chemical processing, industrial applications, and fluid handling systems due to their high flow rates, reliability, and ability to handle various fluid types including corrosive chemicals.

What are three types of centrifugal pumps?

The three main types of centrifugal pumps are radial flow pumps (most common, fluid enters axially and exits radially), mixed flow pumps (combination of radial and axial flow characteristics), and axial flow pumps (fluid flows parallel to the pump shaft). For chemical transfer applications, radial flow centrifugal pumps are most commonly used due to their high pressure capabilities and efficiency in handling corrosive fluids.

What is a main disadvantage of a centrifugal pump?

The main disadvantage of centrifugal pumps is their inability to self-prime and handle air or gas in the pumping system. They require the pump casing to be filled with liquid before starting and can lose prime if air enters the system. Additionally, centrifugal pumps have reduced efficiency at low flow rates and cannot handle high viscosity fluids effectively compared to positive displacement pumps.

Which is better, a centrifugal or peripheral pump?

Centrifugal pumps are better for high flow rate applications, handling large volumes efficiently with lower maintenance costs. They excel in chemical transfer and industrial processes. Peripheral pumps are better for high head, low flow applications and can handle some air entrainment. For most chemical transfer applications, centrifugal pumps are preferred due to their robust design, higher flow capacity, and proven reliability in corrosive service.

What materials are best for centrifugal transfer pumps in chemical applications?

For chemical transfer applications, exotic alloys like Titanium, Hastelloy, and Super Duplex offer superior corrosion resistance for aggressive chemicals. Fluoropolymers like PVDF and PFA provide excellent chemical compatibility for corrosive acids and bases. The choice depends on the specific chemical being transferred, operating temperature, and concentration levels.

How do I select the right centrifugal transfer pump for my application?

Select centrifugal transfer pumps based on required flow rate, total head, chemical compatibility, operating temperature, and system pressure. Consider factors like NPSH requirements, mechanical seal selection, material of construction, and compliance with industry standards like ANSI/ASME B73.1. Consulting with pump manufacturers ensures optimal selection for specific transfer applications.
