Rotary pumpscentrifugal pumps- horizontal
• Centrifugal pumps – horizontal• Centrifugal pumps are a type pumps used to convey liquids or gases by the
means of a rotating• impeller, which increases the pressure of a fluid. The energy is transmitted to
the fluid from the• impeller driven by an electric or other type of a motor. If the shaft is placed
horizontally, we call• them horizontal pumps. As the impeller of the pump rotates, it accelerates the
fluid, which then• flows radially outward into the volute casing and into the manifold system.
Centrifugal pumps• are most often used, when large discharge through a small head is needed.• Operation• In fact, centrifugal pumps work on the Bernoulli’s principle, converting kinetic
energy into• potential energy (which can be measured as static fluid pressure at the outlet
of the pump). First,• kinetic energy is transmitted from an electric motor via the rotation of the
pump impeller to the• fluid. The fluid is drawn into the impeller, where it is accelerated and pushed
outwards through a• system of vanes to the volute casing (or diffuser) and from there to the outlet
manifold.• The outlet manifold can be open either at a place located higher or lower than
the position of the• impeller. If it is open higher, the kinetic energy of the fluid is converted into
static pressure,

Multistage centrifugal pumpsSometimes centrifugal pumps can have two or even more impellers. In such a case they are calledmultistage centrifugal pumps. The impellers can share one shaft or they can be mounted ondifferent shafts. If the impellers are connected in series, fhe fluid gains higher pressure. If theyare connected in parallel, we receive a higher flow output.
