What is the difference between a pump machine and a steam machine?

Pump machines work by using an internal pump to force water at a high pressure through the coffee grounds, whereas steam machines work by boiling water to produce steam, which is forced through the grounds. There are advantages and disadvantages to both types of extraction method.


What parts on a turbine pump move to make it pump water?

the impeller of the pump, discharges the water of a steam or air or electric driven pumps.


What type of feed pump are used in steam turbines?

Actually feed pump in the boiler is used to send water inboiler that is converted into steam whose kinetic energyis used to produce electricity. This pump can be driven byelectricity or steam from Turbine. In steam driven pumps, steam from tubine is bledand used to drive the impeller of pumpand send water in boiler.


How were steam engines used in the past?

Steam engines were first used in the tin mines of Cornwall, England to pump water from the mines which often extended out under the Cornish coastline.


What is the possible cause of pump cavitations?

Two of the most common causes of pump cavitation are air in the pump or the fluid being pumped is too hot. Water at 180 degrees will cause the pump to cavitate (steam bubbles form in the eye of the pump on the suction side of the impeller) because of the drop in pressure created on the suction of the pump. This can be corrected by either pumping cooler water, or by raising the net suction head of the pump. Air in the pump can be corrected by venting the pump.

Why is there permanent steam coming from vent of an ogden pump?

Permanent steam coming from the vent of an Ogden pump could indicate a leaking or malfunctioning seal or gasket, leading to steam escaping from the system. It could also be due to high pressure or temperature within the pump causing the steam release. It is important to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage to the pump.

If you have a pump with 260KW absorbed power at pump shaft and you want to run it on steam turbine then the steam consumption will be based on aborbed power by pump shaft or the steam turbine power?

Pump power is based on BHP = Hydraulic horse power + pump mechanical efficiency Absorbed power = BHP + electric motor eficiency in your case you dont need to account for power absorbed by pump shaft as it would include motor efficiency. your steam consumption will be based on following : normal operating = based on BHP of pump Maximum required = turbine rated power
