Types of PumpsTypes of Pumps• Positive displacement pumps
– Rotary (gear, screw, etc.) – Reciprocating (piston, diaphragm, etc.)– Used as injection and sprayer pumps,
but not for irrigation water
• Centrifugal pumps– Rotating impeller converts mechanical
energy into hydraulic energy (show examples and transparency)
Rotating Impeller Converts Mechanical Rotating Impeller Converts Mechanical Energy to Hydraulic EnergyEnergy to Hydraulic Energy
Centrifugal PumpsCentrifugal Pumps
• Horizontal– Drive shaft is horizontal– Often used when pumping from a
surface source (pond, lake, stream, etc.), Or for boosting the pressure in an irrigation pipeline (booster pump)
– Usually sold as completely assembled units
Centrifugal Pumps, Contd...Centrifugal Pumps, Contd...
• Vertical Turbine– drive shaft is vertical– used when pumping from a well – normally custom built from
components (with multiple stages)– submersible: electric motor below
the lowest stage

Pump CharacteristicsPump Characteristics
• Head vs. discharge– discharge (or capacity): volume of
water pumped per unit of time (gpm)– head (or total head or total dynamic
head):– energy added to the water by the
pump– units of feet (energy per unit weight of
water

Affinity Law ExampleAffinity Law ExampleA pump operating at 1800 RPM delivers 200 gpm at a TDH of 150 feet and requires 10 HP to operate. What will be its Q, TDH and BHP conditions if it is sped up to 2000 RPM?
RPM1=1800 RPM2= 2000 RPM2/RPM1=1.11
Q2/Q1= RPM2/RPM1 Q2= Q1 x RPM2/RPM1 = 200 x 1.11= 222 gpm
TDH2/TDH1=[RPM2/RPM1]2 TDH2 = TDH1 x [RPM2/RPM1]2
TDH2 = 150 x [1.11]2 = 185 feet
BHP2/BHP1 = =[RPM2/RPM1]3 BHP2 = BHP1 x [RPM2/RPM1]3
BHP2 = 10 x [1.11]3 = 13.7 HP
Affinity Laws Contd…Affinity Laws Contd…• Impeller diameter
– Law strictly applies only to horizontal centrifugal pumps, but good approximation for vertical turbine pumps
• Ep may change a little
• Diameter is changed by trimming the impeller (law holds up to about 10-20% trim)

• The same pump is likely to operate The same pump is likely to operate at two different TDH-Q at two different TDH-Q combinations when placed in two combinations when placed in two different irrigation systemsdifferent irrigation systems
Matching a Pump to the Matching a Pump to the SystemSystem
• General– buyer specifies desired Q and TDH
(usually not the entire system head curve)
– supplier specifies operating characteristics (including pump curves)
– obviously want a high Ep
– can fine tune a match by adjusting speed and/or trimming the impeller
Matching a Pump to the System Matching a Pump to the System Contd…Contd…
• Horizontal Centrifugal Pumps– provide correct Q and TDH at a high Ep
– usually buy off-the-shelf unit
• Vertical Turbine Pumps– choose a bowl and impeller to provide
the desired Q at a high Ep
– determine the number of bowls required to provide the desired TDH (pumps in series)
A vertical turbine pump is needed to deliver 400 gpm from a well A vertical turbine pump is needed to deliver 400 gpm from a well that will have a static pumping lift of 237 feet, plus an operating that will have a static pumping lift of 237 feet, plus an operating pressure of 55 psi at the pump head. Is the WLR 10JKH pump pressure of 55 psi at the pump head. Is the WLR 10JKH pump below a good choice? If so, how many stages are required?below a good choice? If so, how many stages are required?
TDH= 237+(55psi*2.31 ft/psi)=364 ft
@ Q=400 gpm:
TDH=52 ft/stage for 7.7” & Ep=79.5% TDH=41 ft/stage for 7.13” & Ep=77.5%
TDH=30 ft/stage for 6.56” & Ep=72%
364 ft/52 ft/stage=7 stages
The best choice is the 7.7” diameter impeller at 52 ft/stage, because it not only requires the fewest stages (low initial cost), but has the best efficiency (low operating cost) near 80%.
