Centrifugal pumps arecommonly used to move liquids through apiping system. The fluid enters the pumpimpeller along or near to the rotating axisand is accelerated by the impeller, flowingradially outward into a diffuser or volutechamber (casing), from where it exits intothe downstream piping system. Centrifugalpumps are used for large discharge throughsmaller heads.</p><p>History</p><p>According to Reti, the Brazilian soldier andhistorian of science, the first machine thatcould be characterized as a centrifugal pump was a mud lifting machine which appeared as early as 1475 in a treatiseby the Italian Renaissance engineer Francesco di Giorgio Martini.[1] True centrifugal pumps were not developeduntil the late 17th century, when Denis Papin made one with straight vanes. The curved vane was introduced byBritish inventor John Appold in 1851.</p><p>How it works</p><p>Cutaway view of centrifugal pump</p><p>Like most pumps, a centrifugal pumps converts mechanical energyfrom a motor to energy of a moving fluid; some of the energy goes intokinetic energy of fluid motion, and some into potential energy,represented by a fluid pressure or by lifting the fluid against gravity toa higher level.The transfer of energy from the mechanical rotation of the impeller tothe motion and pressure of the fluid is usually described in terms ofcentrifugal force, especially in older sources written before the modernconcept of centrifugal force as a fictitious force in a rotating referenceframe was well articulated. The concept of centrifugal force is notactually required to describe the action of the centrifugal pump.</p><p>In the modern centrifugal pump, most of the energy conversion is dueto the outward force that curved impeller blades impart on the fluid.Invariably, some of the energy also pushes the fluid into a circular motion, and this circular motion can also conveysome energy and increase the pressure at the outlet. The relationship between these mechanisms was described, withthe typical mixed conception of centrifugal force as known as that time, in an 1859 article on centrifugal pumps,thus:[2]</p></li><li><p>Centrifugal pump 2</p><p>A centrifugal pump uses a spinning 'impeller,'which normally has backward-swept blades that</p><p>directly push water outward.</p><p>To arrive by a simpler method than that just given at a generalidea of the mode of action of the exterior whirlpool in improvingthe efficiency of the centrifugal pump, it is only necessary toconsider that the mass of water revolving in the whirlpoolchamber, round the circumference of the wheel, must necessarilyexert a centrifugal force, and that this centrifugal force mayreadily be supposed to add itself to the outward force generatedwithin the wheel; or, in other words, to go to increase thepumping power of the wheel. The outward force generatedwithin the wheel is to be understood as being produced entirelyby the medium of centrifugal force if the vanes of the wheel bestraight and radial; but if they be curved, as is more commonlythe case, the outward force is partly produced through themedium of centrifugal force, and partly applied by the vanes tothe water as a radial component of the oblique pressure, which,in consequence of their obliquity to the radius, they apply to thewater as it moves outwards along them. On this subject it is well to observe that while the quantity of watermade to pass through a given pump with curved vanes is perfectly variable at pleasure, the smaller the quantitybecomes the more nearly will the force generated within the wheel for impelling the water outwards becomepurely centrifugal force, and the more nearly will the pump become what the name ordinarily given to it wouldseem to indicatea purely centrifugal pump. When, however, a centrifugal putnp with vanes curvedbackwards in such forms as are ordinarily used in well-constructed examples of the machine, is driven at aspeed considerably above that requisite merely to overcome the pressure of the water, and cause lifting orpropulsion to commence, the radial component of the force applied to the water by the vanes will becomeconsiderable, and the water leaving the circumference of the wheel will have a velocity less than that of thecircumference of the wheel in a degree having some real importance iu practice.</p><p>The statement 'the mass of water ... must necessarily exert a centrifugal force' is interpretable in terms of thereactive centrifugal forcethe force is not an outward force on the water, but rather an outward force exerting by thewater, on the pump housing (the volute) and on the water in the outlet pipe. The outlet pressure is a reflection of thepressure that applies the centripetal force that curves the path of the water to move circularly inside the pump (in thespace just outside the impeller, the exterior whirlpool as this author calls it). On the other hand, the statement that the'outward force generated within the wheel is to be understood as being produced entirely by the medium ofcentrifugal force' is best understood in terms of centrifugal force as a fictional force in the frame of reference of therotating impeller; the actual forces on the water are inward, or centripetal, since that's the direction of force need tomake the water move in circles. This force is supplied by a pressure gradient that is set up by the rotation, where thepressure at the outside, at the wall of the volute, can be taken as a reactive centrifugal force. This is typical of 19thand early 20th century writing, to mix these conceptions of centrifugal force in informal descriptions of effects suchas that in the centrifugal pump.</p></li><li><p>Centrifugal pump 3</p><p>John Richards's drawing of a theoretical shape forthe volute casing around the impeller, which he</p><p>calls a 'mistake' due to the constriction at a</p><p>Differing conceptions and explanations of how a centrifugal pumpworks have long engendered controversy and animadversion. Forexample, the American Expert Commission sent to the ViennaExposition in 1873 issued a report that included observations that 'theyare misnamed centrifugal, because they do not operate by centrifugalforce at all; they operate by pressure the same as a turbine water wheel;when people understand their method of operating we may expectmuch improvement.' John Richards, editor of the San Francisco-basedjournal Industry, in his in-depth essay on centrifugal pumps, whichalso downplayed the signficance of centrifugal force in the working ofthe pump, remarked:[3]</p><p>This extraordinary report stands printed in a Governmentpublication, signed by men who were, or are, eminent inmechanics, and we can only deplore the stupidity, as well aspresumption of the commission who thus disposed of a subjectthat had twenty years before been carefully investigated by suchmen as Sir John Rennie, Professor Cowper, Mr. Whitelaw, Dr. James Black, Professor Rankine, and manyothers. The most astonishing part is, however, that this report was passed and signed by men who we canhardly suppose would fail to perceive its absurdity.</p><p>Modern sources say things like that the fluid 'flows radially under centrifugal force',[4] or 'centrifugal force flingsthe liquid outward'.[5] Others counter that 'there is no force at all, and a great deal of confused thinking.'[4] Someare more careful, attributing the outward force to the impeller, not to centrifugal force: 'the impellers throw the waterto the outside of the impeller case. This centrifugal action is what creates the pressure...'[6] Even serious texts thatexplain the working of the pump without mention of centrifugal force introduce the pump as one in which 'themechanical energy is converted, into pressure energy by means of centrifugal force acting on the fluid.'[7]</p><p>Vertical centrifugal pumpsVertical centrifugal pumps are also referred to as cantilever pumps. They utilize a unique shaft and bearing supportconfiguration that allows the volute to hang in the sump while the bearings are outside of the sump. This style ofpump uses no stuffing box to seal the shaft but instead utilizes a 'throttle Bushing'. A common application for thisstyle of pump is in a parts washer.</p><p>Multistage centrifugal pumpsA centrifugal pump containing two or more impellers is called a multistage centrifugal pump. The impellers may bemounted on the same shaft or on different shafts.If we need higher pressure at the outlet we can connect impellers in series.If we need a higher flow output we can connect impellers in parallel.All energy added to the fluid comes from the power of the electric or other motor force driving the impeller.</p></li><li><p>Centrifugal pump 4</p><p>Efficiency of large pumpsUnless carefully designed, installed and monitored, pumps will be, or will become inefficient, wasting a lot ofenergy. Pumps need to be regularly tested to determine efficiency.</p><p>Energy usageThe energy usage in a pumping installation is determined by the flow required, the height lifted and the length andfriction characteristics of the pipeline. The power required to drive a pump ( ), is defined simply using SI unitsby:</p><p>Single Stage Radial Flow Centrifugal Pump</p><p>where:is the input power required (W)</p><p>is the fluid density (kg/m3)is the standard acceleration of gravity (9.80665 m/s2)</p><p>is the energy Head added to the flow (m)</p><p>is the flow rate (m3/s)is the efficiency of the pump plant as a decimal</p><p>The head added by the pump ( ) is a sum of the static lift, the head loss due to friction and any losses due tovalves or pipe bends all expressed in metres of fluid. Power is more commonly expressed as kilowatts (103 W) orhorsepower (multiply kilowatts by 0.746). The value for the pump efficiency may be stated for the pump itself oras a combined efficiency of the pump and motor system.The energy usage is determined by multiplying the power requirement by the length of time the pump is operating.</p></li><li><p>Centrifugal pump 5</p><p>Problems of centrifugal pumps Cavitationthe NPSH of the system is too low for the selected pump Wear of the Impellercan be worsened by suspended solids Corrosion inside the pump caused by the fluid properties Overheating due to low flow Leakage along rotating shaft Lack of primecentrifugal pumps must be filled (with the fluid to be pumped) in order to operate Surge</p><p>Centrifugal pumps for solids controlAn oilfield solids control system needs many centrifugal pumps to sit on or in mud tanks. The types of centrifugalpumps used are sand pumps, submersible slurry pumps, shear pumps, and charging pumps. They are defined for theirdifferent functions, but their working principle is the same.</p><p>Magnetically coupled pumpsSmall centrifugal pumps (e.g. for garden fountains) may be magnetically coupled to avoid leakage of water into themotor. The motor drives a rotor carrying a pair of permanent magnets and these drag round a second pair ofpermanent magnets attached to the pump impeller. There is no direct connection between the motor shaft and theimpeller so no gland is needed and, unless the casing is broken, there is no risk of leakage.</p><p>PrimingMost centrifugal pumps are not self-priming. In other words, the pump casing must be filled with liquid before thepump is started, or the pump will not be able to function. If the pump casing becomes filled with vapors or gases, thepump impeller becomes gas-bound and incapable of pumping. To ensure that a centrifugal pump remains primed anddoes not become gas-bound, most centrifugal pumps are located below the level of the source from which the pumpis to take its suction. The same effect can be gained by supplying liquid to the pump suction under pressure suppliedby another pump placed in the suction line.</p><p>References[1] Ladislao Reti, Francesco di Giorgio (Armani) Martini's Treatise on Engineering and Its Plagiarists, Technology and Culture, Vol. 4, No. 3.</p><p>(Summer, 1963), pp. 287-298 (290)[2] James Thomson (Dec. 23, 1859).
