Centrifugal pumps are hydraulically powered machines that transfer energy to fluids.

Centrifugal pumps are hydraulically powered machines that use a field of centrifugal forces to convey energy to fluids (particularly liquids). Their primary function is to move fluids by increasing pressure. Centrifugal pumps come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but its operating principle and fluid dynamics are always the same.


Centrifugal pumps are made up of an impeller that rotates inside the casing, as shown in the diagram.

The impeller is made up of a set of blades that deliver kinetic energy to the fluid being pumped, preferably in a radial pattern.


Centrifugal Pumps are a type of centrifugal pump. Principle of operation

The fluid is continuously fed into the pump through the suction nozzle in the impeller's centre.


It is then driven in a radial direction until it reaches the impeller's edge, where it empties into the casing.


The fluid current is accelerated by the push that the impeller blades transmit to the current itself due to their curvature. The fluid gains energy in this way, primarily in the form of an increase in its average speed (kinetic energy).

The liquid is appropriately slowed inside the casing thanks to the gradually expanding portion in the direction of travel.
