A vacuum pump is any device which does work to transfer air from one volume to another volume, and thereby reducing the pressure of the first volume. There are several different types of vacuum pumps available, each operating over different pressure ranges.

What did otto van guericke invent?

Oh, dude, Otto von Guericke invented the vacuum pump in the 17th century. It's like this device that sucks out air from a space, creating a vacuum. So, yeah, he basically made it possible for us to understand the concept of a vacuum. Cool, right?


Differences between centrifugal compressors and centrifugal pump?

centrifugal pump uses centrifugal action while reciprocati pump operates on resiprocating motion of pistonA centrifugal pump will typically give you a higher flow rate but a lower pressure, where a piston pump will give you more pressure but a lower flow rate.


What is the difference between suction lift and suction head?

Suction lift is only negative. Suction head is positive or negative.Suction head is the distance between the surface of the liquid being pumped and the centerline of the pump. It can be positive or negative, and it can be affected by pressure or vacuum on the surface of the fluid. A negative suction head is also called suction lift.Example 1: A D/A under 15 psig is set 20 feet above the feed pump the effective suction head is 54 feet. (15 psig is equivalent to 34 feet of water).Example 2: A Condenser hotwell under 28 inches of vacuum (Hg) is set 16 feet above the suction of a propeller pump. The effective suction head (lift) is -15 feet.* (28"Hg = - 31 feet of water)Example 3: A sump pump is set 4 feet below the surface of the well. The effective suction head is 4 feet.*Note: Suction lift is only effective to a maximum of 21 feet, and 15 feet for hot water depending on temperature and pump slip.


How vertical condensate extraction pump work?

CEP is a Multi stage vertical Centrifugal Pump having double suction impeller at 1st stage for higher efficiency and high flow rate .Pump operates at marginal difference between NASHa and NPSHr so pressure equalising line is provied at suction side .CEP suction is conected to Hotwell and above hotwell Vacuum is maintained as per turbine design. The purpose of CEP is transfer water to deaerator through LP heaters. Parag Agrawal 8102392375
