Submersible pump
Submersible pumps are centrifugal pumps whose hydraulic components (pump casing, impeller, diffuser element) are flooded by the fluid handled. Usually, this type of pump is not fitted with a suction line.
A submersible pump whose motor is arranged above floor is referred to as a vertical shaft submersible pump.
This type is typically used as
- irrigation pump see Fig. 2 irrigation pump,
- deep-well turbine pump,
- chemical pump see Fig. 4 chemical pump
- drainage pump see Fig. 1 drainage pump
- cooling water pump see Fig. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 cooling water pump,
- tubular casing pump,
- pump for use in low-lift pumping stations see Fig. 1 pump for use in low-lift pumping stations
- tank farm pump.
IPumps whose motor is flooded in addition to the hydraulic components are referred to as submersible motor pumps.
This type of pump is used as a
- waste water pump see Fig. 2, 3 und 5 waste water pump
- irrigation pump see Fig. 1 irrigation pump
- drainage pump see Fig. 2 drainage pump,
- cooling water pump see Fig. 5 cooling water pump,
- tubular casing pump
- Pump for use in low-lift pumping stations see Fig. 2 Pump for use in low-lift pumping stations
The same principle is used for submersible borehole pumps.
