What types of multistage centrifugal pumps are there?
Multistage centrifugal pumps are classified into two types:
1. Radially split
2. Axially split
Radially split pumps are the most common type of multistage centrifugal pump. In a radial split pump, the
casing is split along a radius and the impellers are mounted on shafts that pass through the casing. The
advantage of this type of pump is that it can be easily disassembled for maintenance and repair.
Axially split pumps are less common than radial split pumps. In an axially split pump, the casing is split
along an axis, and the impellers are mounted on shafts that are parallel to the axis of the pump. The
advantage of this type of pump is that it can operate at higher pressures than radial split pumps.
Multistage centrifugal pumps are classified into two types: radial and mixed flow.
Radial flow multistage centrifugal pumps have the impellers arranged in a radial
configuration, with the liquid flowing through the pump in a radial direction. Mixed flow multistage
centrifugal pumps have the impellers arranged in a mixed configuration, with the liquid flowing
through the pump in both a radial and an axial direction.
About multistage centrifugal pump
A multistage centrifugal pump is a pump that can be used to move fluids by centrifugal force. These pumps are
typically used in high-pressure applications, such as water distribution or industrial processing.
Multistage centrifugal pumps typically have two or more impellers, which are mounted on a common shaft. The fluid enters the pump at the center of the impeller and is forced
to the outside by centrifugal force.
Multistage centrifugal pumps are the most common type of pump used to move liquids through a piping system.
They are used in a wide variety of applications, from water treatment and supply to industrial processes and
wastewater treatment.
Multistage centrifugal pumps consist of two or more impellers mounted on a common shaft. The liquid enters
the pump through an inlet port at the center of the impeller stack and is discharged through an outlet port
at the periphery.
