What else can I help you with?
Most commonly used main pump in the fire service?
Centrifugal Pump
Why is a centrifugal pumper equipped with a positive displacement pump in conjunction with the main pump?
Because the centrifugal pump cannot pump air due to its loose tolerances, the positive displacement pump is needed to create the vacuum.
What is the main reason if a centrifugal pump shows an increase in amperage?
Worn Bearings
What is the difference between fire fighting pump and fire water pump?
Not a lot. A fire fighting pump found on most fire engines is the centrifugal type. Other than the amount of water it may flow and the number of discharges it can supply, there is no difference (although I'm not sure what "ordinary centrifugal pump" refers to unless it is a trash or sump pump). Centrifugal type pumps weren't always used in the fire service, but they are the standard now because they can spin (they can pump or maintain pressure) even when there is no water actually flowing.
What different between centrifugal pumps and multi pumps?
A centrifugal pump works by using centrifugal force. A multi pump is short for a multistage centrifugal pump with two or more impellers.
What are the main types of hydralic pumps?
Gear pumps. A vane pump. Piston pumps. Radial pump. Centrifugal pumps.
How do you change a bearing in a centrifugal pump?
A centrifugal pump is used on board most ships. There are many steps to overhaul one such as drain the pump, open the casing, remove the coupling, and replace the worn parts.
Is turbine pump is a centrifugal pump?
yes that is centrifugal pump because the turbine pump creates a vacuum pressure on pipe.
What is the maximum height a centrifugal pump can pump water?
This varies from pump to pump because centrifugal pumps can be designed for various applications. The maximum height a pump can pump water depends on size of pipe/water column, friction, power available etc. This is often reffered to as the head of the pump. A water company would probably have some centrifugal pumps capable pumping to over 300m in a 30 inch main.

What is slurry pump?
A slurry pump is a type of centrifugal pump, used for pumping liquid with solids. The main pump parts are, impeller, liner, casing, base and bearing assembly. For now there are horizontal slurry pump, vertical slurry pump and submersible slurry pump, every type has its condition in the industry, but all used for slurry pumping.
What pump will be used as main sea water pump?
It must be a centrifugal pump as the pump supplies water to coolers such as fuel oil ,lube oil and the fresh water generator. Also to reduce the scale formation in the pipes connected the flow rate is kept high. these demands can be fullfilled by a centrifugal pump only
