A pump is nothing but a mechanical device that is deployed to force a liquid as well as gas to step forward inside a pipeline. To raise the fluid to a higher altitude, pumps are also applied to create pressure by generating a suction. On the other hand, normally the classification of pumps is done based on the mechanical configuration as well as the type of power, and also the type of service. Moreover, Pumps are mainly classified into two main categories named Dynamic pumps as well as Positive Displacement Pumps.
Definition of pump
A pump is a mechanical device that is liable to force a fluid whether it can be a liquid or gas to step forward inside a pipeline. On the other hand, it can be said that to raise the fluid to a higher altitude, a pump is responsible as it produces pressure by generating a suction.
Types of pumps
Dynamic pumps and classification
Dynamic pumps or can say kinetic pumps are responsible for imparting velocity as well as pressure to the fluid as it motions past or can say via the pump impeller and, successively translate some of the velocity into extra pressure.
Positive displacement pump and its classification
Positive displacement pumps are liable to produce a flow of fluid as the moving element such as piston, lobe or gear dislocates the liquid from the pump casing as well as increase the pressure of the liquid. Moreover, it can be said that pressure does not develop by this pump.
Conclusion
To conclude the whole discussion on the classification of pumps, it can be stated that a clear understanding of several types of pumps with their uses has been provided here. The overview of the classification of pumps has been successfully represented here in this discussion.
