Is the slurry pump the same as the centrifugal pump?
June 22, 2022
For slurry pump and centrifugal pump are often mentioned, then what is the relationship between the two? The following will take you to understand the relationship between the slurry pump and centrifugal pump. In fact, in principle, the slurry pump is one of the centrifugal pumps. Because they apply the same principle. Centrifugal pumps are the main components of the impeller and the casing, the casing of the impeller device is located on the shaft, and connected with the prime mover to form a whole. When the prime mover drives the impeller to rotate, the blades in the impellers force the fluid to rotate, ie the blades work on the fluid along its direction of motion, forcing the pressure potential energy and kinetic energy of the fluid to increase. At the same time, the fluid flows under the force of inertia from the center to the edge of the impeller and flows out of the impeller at a very high speed into the pressure chamber, which is then discharged through the diffuser tube. This process is called as pressure watering. At the same time, due to the impeller center of the fluid flow to the edge of the impeller in the center of the formation of low-pressure zone, when it has sufficient vacuum, the pressure at the suction end, the fluid through the suction chamber into the impeller, the process known as the water absorption process. Due to continuous rotation of the impeller, the fluid is continuously discharged and sucked in to form a continuous operation. The basic working principle of the slurry pump is true, all by centrifugal force to work. So that the slurry pump is a centrifugal pump.
