The impeller material,and the size of the volute discharge opening, determine what size material can pass through the pump without damaging it. Deeper vanes will produce a larger discharge capacity.
Specially designed pump to allow transfer of certain industrial and agricultural chemicals. A larger diameter impeller with more, shallower vanes will produce a greater pressure. Deepest vanes produce largest discharge capacity. Deeper vanes, incorporated with a large volute discharge opening, will pass larger debris without harming the pump components. The performance curves reflect standard testing. Pump manufacturers typically calculate performance curves using a pressure gauge and a flow meter connected to the discharge port.
For any anticipated total head, the discharge capacity can be determined. Pump performance curves can be found on each model page. The performance curves are useful in selecting a particular water pump. When a question regarding the performance of a specific pump must be answered, refer to the pump specifications for the particular model. Determine how high the pump will sit above the water source static suction head. Determine how high the discharge end will be elevated above the pump static discharge head.
Determine what the discharge capacity gpm of the pump must be. Keep in mind, the actual discharge performance may be significantly less than predicted by using static head alone because of friction losses in the system. Pressure can be calculated for total head by multiplying total head by. Pressure available at the end of the hose at zero flow for a given total head less then the maximum total head can be calculated by multiplying the total head by.
Example: The maximum pressure for a WH20X is 71 psi. The maximum available pressure at a total head of feet is 71 - 52 x. The total static head is often only considered when selecting a pump. However, because of frictional losses, this method can often lead to large error, and in many cases, the pump performance will not meet expectations.
The selection process becomes even more complicated when a nozzle or sprinklers are used. In order to accurately predict the performance of a centrifugal pump in a specific application, the total head losses must be considered.
These losses include, but are not limited to: total static head, losses due to pipe size, length, and material, and losses due to sprinklers or a nozzle. Accurately predicting the discharge and pressure for a given pump in a specific application requires tedious calculations and a lot of trial and error.
In addition, too much "throttling" will cause excessive shaft deflection which will increase the wear on bearings and seals inside the pump. The BEP for a given model, speed and impeller diameter is the point where Efficiency is highest; this maximizes energy efficiency as well as seal and bearing life inside the pump.
Another important point is that running centrifugal pumps at RPM motor speeds instead of RPM motor speeds will reduce wear on seals and bearings by almost 4 times and the pump will also be less likely to cavitate when less favorable suction conditions long suction pipes, high "lifts" from ponds or pits, low supply tank levels, or liquids with high vapor pressures such as hot water, gasoline, etc are involved. However, centrifugal pumps running at RPM require much larger casings and impellers than those running at RPM and therefore, cost considerably more money.
Most centrifugal pump manufacturers publish "Head-Flow" Curves for each model, impeller diameter, and rated speed RPM for the centrifugal pumps they manufacture. A key point regarding these Head-Flow Curves is that all centrifugal pumps will always run along their Head-Flow Curve and the resulting flowrate will always be at the intersection of the pump's Head-Flow Curve and the "System" Curve which is unique for each piping system, fluid and application.
System curves can be developed quite easily using Hydraulic Modeling Software and compared to various pump Head-Flow Curves in order to properly select centrifugal pumps that meet each user's unique system and flowrate requirements. Dultmeier Sales has engineers on staff with Hydraulic Modeling Software to help pump users select the correct pump s for their system and flowrate requirements.

Another important point is that centrifugal pumps will require their maximum horsepower, for a given impeller diameter and RPM, at maximum flowrate on their Head-Flow curve. As the Head or Discharge Pressure a centrifugal pump is working against is increased i. Centrifugal pumps are designed for liquids with relatively low viscosity that pour like water or like a very light oil.
They can be used with slightly more viscous liquids such as 10 or 20 wt. When viscosity of the liquids exceed those of 30 wt oils at ambient temps approx.
In those cases, most pump manufacturers start recommending positive displacement pumps such as gear pumps, progressive cavity pumps instead of centrifugal pumps in order to keep horsepower requirements and energy usage lower. Centrifugal pumps also require increases in horsepower when pumping non-viscous liquids that are more dense than water such as fertilizer and many chemicals used in industry. Water has a density of 8.
It usually consists of a pumping handle with a spout for the water to come out. This is the simplest and earliest way that moves the water for you but it works where there is no electric power.
Impeller pumps use a type of turbine that forces water through the system. This allows it to be ejected from the pump at high pressure. These are often the most powerful kinds of pumps, but they can be used at lower power levels. So how does a water pump work , you may ask? These pumps use a piston or a turbine to produce a partial vacuum to draw the water out of the well.
The same piston or turbine is then used to increase the pressure of the water. This pressure, in turn, pushes the water out of the pump and down the pipes. With a manual pump the user pushing a handle up and down.
