Dynamic pumps unlike positive displacement pumps output fluid over a range of flow values for a given range of rotational values. Centrifugal pumps are dynamic and are very common in industrial applications. They are typically made up of one main rotating component, an impeller, and several stationary components. The outer housing is the volute aka … Continue reading Pumps-Dynamic

Pumps
The pump is a mechanical device that moves liquid from one point to another, by increasing the pressure differential between two points. The pump as a device usually functions by converting energy and by using mechanical parts to initiate this pressure differential. They are driven by any number of equipment, from electric or hydraulic motors … Continue reading Pumps
Electric Submersible Pump (ESP)
This a electrically powered pump that is inserted into oil-well bore to facilitate the lifting of the well bore fluid. The pump as its name implies is electrically powered and submerged in the fluid. The operation of the pump as with all pumps creates a pressure difference allowing the fluid to flow upward out of … Continue reading Electric Submersible Pump (ESP)
