Sep 05, 2017 A centrifugal pump casing of the volute type having a volute region comprising two circular segments of differing radii adjoining tangentially and a discharge branch leading tangentially away from the segment of greater radius. Liners for the casing are formed in the same manner. Preferably the adjoining circular segments are of common constant cross section.
Aug 01, 2018 Volute-type centrifugal pumps, which operate without diffuser vanes, show complex flow features near the tongue due to direct interactions between the impeller and volute tongue. Recently, Zhang et al. (2016) performed an LES using a commercial software to analyze the flow in a volute-type centrifugal pump, where the standard Smagorinsky model ...

Jan 18, 2012 It is a common misconception in the U.S. pump industry that the function of the volute is that of a diffuser: to convert velocity into pressure. I have recently read and heard statements to this effect by centrifugal pump authorities. Igor Karassik [3] said that the “velocity is converted into pressure energy by means of a volute.”.

Nov 07, 2013 The three basic casing types primarily used for centrifugal pumps are the single volute, double volute and vaned diffuser. Of these, the most common - at least for low- to medium-flow, single-stage pumps - is the single volute, with double volutes used more for larger, single-stage pumps handling liquids without solids, and vaned diffusers ...

There are 3 types of casing in centrifugal pumps -Volute, Vortex and Vane Diffuser being the 3rd type.A diffuser is actually a series of vanes surrounding the impeller which accepts the discharge of liquid from the impeller, efficiently reducing the velocity and, in the case of a multistage pump, directs this lower velocity fluid into vaned return channels which guide the liquid to the inlet ...

May 22, 2019 The volute of a centrifugal pump is the casing that receives the fluid being pumped by the impeller, slowing down the fluid’s rate of flow. ... The impeller of a centrifugal pump can be of three basic types: Open impeller. Open impellers have the vanes free on both sides. Open impellers are structurally weak.

Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. They are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller ...

Apr 15, 1995 Most centrifugal pumps are the volute type, in which the impeller discharges into a progressively expanding spiral casing. In the diffuser type, the impeller is surrounded by stationary guide vanes, which gradually reduce the velocity of the liquid and convert velocity head into pressure head before it enters the casing, eliminating radial ...

In a single volute casing, the impeller discharges into one volute that wraps completely around the impeller. This type of casing features one cutwater that directs the flow of the liquid towards the discharge of the pump. Double Volute Casing. Double volute casings have two cutwaters located 180 degrees apart from each other.

As an important type of centrifugal pump, the double-suction pump has been widely used due to its high efficiency region and large flow rate. In the present study, the complex flow in volute of a double-suction centrifugal pump is investigated by numerical simulation using a re-normalization group (RNG) k-ε model with experimental validation.

Jun 26, 2018 Classification of Centrifugal Pump Centrifugal pumps are classified in several ways. Pumps may be classified: • in terms of energy conversions (volute type and diffuser vane ring type); • in terms of fluid flow through the pump (radial, mixed flow and axial flow); • as either single stage or multistage i.e. in terms of number …

Pumps of this type are called double volute pumps (they may also be referred to a split volute pumps). In some applications the double volute minimizes radial forces imparted to the shaft and bearings due to imbalances in the pressure around the impeller. A comparison of single and double volute centrifugal pumps is shown on Figure 2.

Jul 12, 2017 Commonly three types of casing are used in centrifugal pump and these are (i). Volute Casing: It is a spiral type of casing in which the area of flow increases gradually. The increase in area of flow decreases the velocity and increases the pressure of the liquid that flows through the casing. The volute casing is shown in figure above:

Centrifugal pumps are classified as either radial, axial or mixed flow.. Radial flow pumps discharge liquid perpendicular to the main pump shaft (90 degrees apart from the main pump shaft's orientation); this type of pump is ideal for many pressure and flow applications.. Radial Flow Centrifugal Pump. Mixed flow pumps discharge liquid at an angle exceeding 90 degrees relative to the pump shaft.
