In case of emergency, if the cylinder stops, the motor does not. So it can be harmful for motor. Designers couple the high power motor to the cylinder of pump by means of a clutch. so the motor can continue to rotate while the cylinder stops.

Also in case of closing the outlet valve of a pump, the pressure in the cylinder can fail the cylinder or crankshaft and accessories. in this case the clutch can separate the power from motor to the pump and prevent failure of pump.

What is closed coupling pumps?

In centrifugal pumps there are two major types of pumps,One is Bare shat pumps and another one is close coupled pumps.Bare shaft pumps having casing,bearing housing with shaft which has to be coupled by means coupling arrangements like love joy,Tyre and spacer type coupling with electric motor.But in the close coupled pumps the motor will looks like a inbuilt arrangement to avoid extra shaft length and shaft deflection.

Is receiprocating pump advantageous or centrifugal pupm?

A reciprocating pump is an advantageous pump. Centrifugal pumps convert energy into rotation to power themselves. A reciprocating pump uses a back and forth linear motion.


Can 3 phase induction motor start and run rated speed by 2 phase?

yes, It would run as long as the motor was not coupled to a load. Coupled to a load the motor would have no torque and would stall.


Which pump is more efficient Centrifugal pump or reciprocating pump?

positive displacement pumps will always be more efficient than centrifugal pumps due to a centrifugals inherent internal fluid slip recirculation and losses.

Advantages of double acting reciprocating pump?

Reciprocating pumps will deliver fluid at high pressure (High Delivery Head).They are 'Self-priming' - No need to fill the cylinders before starting.

The same as a hand saw except it has a motor doing the work instead of your arm.


What is the difference between reciprocating pump and reciprocating compressor?

Though these words may be used interchangeably, there is a difference. A pump is a motor designed to move fluids (whether gas or liquid). A compressor is a kind of pump that has a motor that forces air molecules closer together to pack more matter in a smaller volume. Gases are the only things that are compressable where pumps deal more with liquids (mainly water) although there are air pumps. More.. Pumps are used to move liquids of all kinds not just water. They can be driven by electric motors, steam turbines, wind power etc. Compressors move gasses. We sometimes use what is called a tire pump to inflate bicycle tires but it is actually a hand powered compressor.
