Pumps
Centrifugal pumps
Process, utility and circulation duties
A rotating impeller adds velocity to the fluid, which is converted into pressure in the casing. For low-viscosity media and high flow rates this remains the most efficient and most serviceable arrangement.
Typical applications
- Cooling and heating circulation
- Process water and utility transfer
- Boiler feed and condensate duties
- Chemical process transfer
- General plant balance-of-plant circuits
Characteristics
- High flow rates with a compact footprint
- Simple, well-understood maintenance
- Broad material and sealing options
- Efficient with water-like fluids
Where to be careful
- Performance drops quickly as viscosity rises
- Flow depends strongly on system head
- NPSH margin must be verified for the duty
