Definition of pump components

Pump housing: It is a chamber that encompasses the pump blades, axle and sealing system and the fluid flows through it. Usually the body of the pump is of coil type or of increasing diameter.

Pump shaft: Depending on the type of motor used, the pump shaft can be part of the motor rotor, or be independent of the motor shaft. The shaft can be self-contained, or held by motor bearings. The method used will depend on the design of the pump.

Pump Propeller: Part of the pump that forces a fluid to increase its speed and amount of movement. The holes in the impeller center are called the impeller eyes which determine the pump capacity to some extent.

Pump blades: are parts of the impeller that drive fluid inside the pump.

Shroud: Cover the pump blades and restrict fluid flow to the butterfly area.

Suction Point: The fluid inlet to the pump is usually located near the center of the body. The diameter for passing through this point partly determines the pump discharge.

Wear Loops: Not applicable to all pumps. But if considered, they will usually be interchangeable. In this way a hydraulic seal is performed which increases the pump efficiency. In addition, a small amount of fluid from the thrust is returned to the pump suction.

Bowl Width: Seals the fluid flow inside the pump. The wadding bowl may include sealable units of the interchangeable and adjustable woven type or mechanical type.

Diffuser hose: It is not usually used in centrifugal pumps. However, it may sometimes be used to direct the flow of water. The hull uses less horns.

Thrust or discharge point: This is the point that drives the fluid pump into the piping system. To illustrate the pump components in simple terms, one-stage pumps with a suction opening are used. But centrifugal pumps are also built in dual-stage multi-stage designs. The type of pump used is determined by the amount of pump fluid and pressure required. The double pump is very similar to the single bump pump, except that fluid is drawn from both sides of the impeller and driven through an outlet.

Pump body: Centrifugal pumps in factories differ in construction and application. Therefore, the pump body is made in different ways, several of which are shown in Figure 1. It can be seen from these pictures that different types of pumps have physical differences with each other. Also, the body of the pumps can be made of various materials such as cast iron, steel, bronze or corrosion-resistant alloys.
