Centrifugal Pump Components
Pumps are essential to virtually all industrial processes and they play critical roles in our everyday lives. Centrifugal pumps convert external rotational mechanical energy into kinetic energy within a liquid. In a centrifugal pump, this is done by accelerating the liquid from the center to the outer rim of a spinning impeller within a pump casing. This course covers the terminology and function of the mechanical components that make up a typical centrifugal pump.
