Self-priming pumps are a special type of liquid pump. They are designed for fluid movement and transfer and can increase the efficiency of many pumping applications.
Working principle of self-priming centrifugal pump
Self-priming centrifugal pumps are capable of automatically removing air from inside the pump, enabling the suction and transfer of liquids. The working principle is based on the following key steps:
- Preparation before starting: Before starting a self-priming centrifugal pump, the pump body is usually filled with liquid. If the pump body is not pre-filled with liquid, the pump will first perform a self-priming process when starting.
- Self-priming process:
- Starting the pump: When a self-priming centrifugal pump is started, the impeller begins to rotate.
- Creating a vacuum: The rotating impeller directs the air in the pump body out of the pump through the outlet, thus creating a localized vacuum area near the suction port of the pump body.
- Suction of Liquid: Due to the vacuum at the suction inlet of the pump body, atmospheric pressure pushes the liquid inside the pump body, replacing the expelled air.
- Liquid Circulation: As the pump continues to run, the suctioned liquid is driven and accelerated by the impeller and then discharged through the pump outlet.
- Normal operation: Once the pump body is filled with liquid, the self-priming centrifugal pump will operate like a normal centrifugal pump, transferring the liquid from the suction to the outlet through the rotation of the impeller.
Application areas of self-priming centrifugal pumps
Self-priming centrifugal pumps can be applied in many fields due to their versatility, including but not limited to:
- Water supply and treatment: for urban water supply systems, industrial water treatment, etc.
- General industrial and manufacturing uses: for liquid transportation in factory production processes.
- Chemical and Mining Uses: for chemical transportation in chemical production and mining processes.
- Food & Beverage: for liquid transportation in food processing and beverage production.
