RotorRotor-Dynamic Pumps
RotorRotor-dynamic pumps can be broadly classified into three main types, there are: a) Centrifugal pumps b) Mixed flow pumps c) Axial flow pumps (also known as propeller pumps)

Seals to prevent the fluid returning to the inlet side when the pump is stopped High pressure is generated by displacing the liquid against the resistance on the delivery side.

Mixed-Flow Pump
RotorRotor-Dynamic Pumps
Centrifugal Direction of flow through impeller Enters axially from one side of impeller and flow radially outwards Mixed-Flow Enters axially from both sides of impeller and flow radially outwards Medium Axial-Flow Enter axially and flow axially outwards Higher Propeller pumps can be very large Medium Shaft could only fit one impeller Lower Shaft could only fit one impeller
Comparative Lower capacity (flow rate) Physical size Comparative Higher (up to 16 pressure (flow rate) bars) Number of impellers Can be connected in series to increase pressure
Centrifugal Pumps
Design of centrifugal pumps can vary widely in details Most have the characteristic volute shape of casing, necessary for efficient collection of the outflow from the impeller, converting the kinetic energy into pressure energy.
MixedMixed-flow Pump
Main parts: - Impeller - Shaft - Impeller journal - Wear ring - Casing - Bearing Bush - Packing / Mechanical seal - Coupling spacer - Shaft coupling
Air-Priming Air
Centrifugal pumps are not self-priming selfRequire some means of removing air from the suction pipeline and filling it with liquid. Purposes:
To avoid running the pump dry that could damage the sealing surfaces between journal and wear-rings wearTo enable pumping (taking suction and deliver the fluid) as soon as the pump is run
Air-Priming Air
If the pump is below sea water level, and sea water priming is permissible in the system,
Open a sea water injection valve and the air cock on the pump will effect priming.

AxialAxial-Flow Pumps
AxialAxial-flow (and semi-axial-flow) pumps are semi-axialfrequently used for large volumes (capacity) and low heads (pressure). They are simple and occupy little space. It is an equivalent to a low lift centrifugal pump.
AxialAxial-Flow Pumps
An axial-flow pump uses a screw propeller to axialaccelerate the liquid. The outlet passages and guide vanes are arranged to convert the velocity increase of the liquid into a pressure.

An axial-flow pump uses a screw propeller to axialaccelerate the liquid. The outlet passages and guide vanes are arranged to convert the velocity increase of the liquid into a pressure. They are reversible in flow direction provided that they are driven by a reversible primer-mover. primer-

AxialAxial-Flow Pumps
Pump casing is split either horizontally or vertically to provide access to the propeller. A stuff-box prevents leakage where the shaft leaves stuffthe casing. A thrust bearing of tilting pad type is fitted on the drive shaft.
AxialAxial-Flow Pumps
The axial-flow pump is used where large quantity of axialwater at a low head is required. In Steam Turbine ships, they are often used in condenser circulating or as a supplementary pump in condenser scoop circulating (since the pump offers little resistance to flow when idling). With scoop circulation, the normal movement of the ship will draw in water; the pump would be in use only when the ship is moving slowly or stopped.
