The principle parts of a centrifugal pump are the pump casing, also called a volute, and the impeller. The other parts are the pump shaft, bearing(s), shaft seal, the wear rings, and the inlet and outlet. The impeller is mounted on the pump shaft. The pump shaft is coupled to an external power source like a motor. The motor turns the shaft, the shaft makes the impeller turn and the fluid being pumped is put in motion. The volute causes a change in pressure in the fluid. The shaft seal stops the fluid from leaking out of the casing (volute). The wear rings separate the high and low pressure areas inside the casing. The bearing(s) make the shaft turn easier. The inlet and outlet parts of the casing connect to the fluid piping system.

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.


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.

It depends on the specific pump. For most: the impeller, the wear ring & mechanical seal. In a pump with a packed stuffing box, the packing. In some pumps, the shaft coupling.

Why the centrifugal pump is called high discharge pump?

for a simple reason because it has high discharge than any other available pump. the centrifugal pump uses the centrifugal force to push out the fluid centrifugal force = (mass *velocity2)/radius. hence centrifugal force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, in this case being the velocity of the fluid. power provided to pump proportional to the force exerted by the impeller.hence higher the power results in higher centrifugal force implying square of the velocity of the fluid. higher the velocity of the fluid higher the discharge of the pump.
