PUMPS

PUMPS
 a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or
sometimes slurries, by mechanical action.
Three Major Groups of Pumps:
1. Direct lift
2. Displacement
3. Gravity pumps.

operates via many energy sources, including manual

operation, electricity, engines, or wind power, come in
many sizes, from microscopic for use in medical
applications to large industrial pumps.
PUMPS
Mechanical pumps serve in a wide range of
applications.
In the medical industry, as artificial replacements
for body parts, in particular the artificial heart and
penile prosthesis.
Pumping water from the wells
Aquarium filtering
Pond filtering and aeration
Pumping oil and natural gas
TYPES OF PUMPS
Mechanical pumps - may be submerged in the
fluid they are pumping or be placed external of the fluid.
 Positive displacement pumps
 Impulse pumps
 Velocity pumps
 Gravity pumps
 Steam pumps
 Valveless pumps
BASIC TYPES OF PUMPS
A. POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT
B. CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
