    There are four main types of centrifugal pumps based on their design: 1) Single stage pumps have a single impeller and can provide moderate pressure and high flow. There are four sub-types of single stage pumps. 2) Two stage pumps have two impellers to provide additional pressure. 3) Multistage pumps have impellers linked in series to provide very high pressure discharge. 4) Centrifugal pumps also vary based on impeller suction design (single or double), volute casing design (single or double), and nozzle location (end suction/top discharge, top/top, or side/side).

    Question:
    What are the different types of centrifugal pumps? Discuss each briefly.

    a. Based on the number of impellers

    Single Stage Pumps

    The maximum pressure head increase for this pump, which


    has a single impeller, is 125 meters. The primary benefits of
    single-stage pumps include their straightforward design,
    reliable performance, fast speed, light weight, compact
    volume, high efficiency, great flow capacity, and ease of
    maintenance. There are four different types of single-stage
    centrifugal pumps: horizontal pumps, vertical pumps,
    single-suction pumps, and double-suction pumps. A high
    flow rate and a relatively moderate pressure head are
    intended uses for the single impeller.

    Two Stage Pumps

    Two suction impellers that operate simultaneously


    make up a two-stage pump. The operator must choose
    a switch on the pump panel to indicate whether he
    needs additional volume or pressure. In 75% of the
    recent equipment purchases, single-stage pumps have
    been chosen as the preferred option.
    Multistage Pumps

    The fluid pressure at the pump's exhaust might be quite high. Consequently, the multistage
    pump is employed when a very high head at discharge is required. Impellers are linked in
    series in this design to raise the fluid pressure at each level.

    b. Based on impeller suction

    Single Suction

    When using a single-suction centrifugal pump, the


    fluid enters the intake and instantly flows in its entirety
    into the impeller eye (the inlet of the impeller). As the
    water exits the impeller, the pressure created by the
    centrifugal force increases.
    Double Suction

    When the flow rate is too great, a single suction cannot


    handle the situation. Double suction centrifugal pumps are
    utilized in this situation. In contrast to a typical situation,
    the impeller of this pump is designed to allow fluid to enter
    from both sides. You must not be misled by the term
    "double suction," though. There is only one suction and
    discharge flange, even with the twin suction configuration.
    The impeller and casing have different designs, which is the
    difference.

    c. Based on type of volute

    Single Volute

    In a casing with a single volute, the flow exits the impeller and enters the single volute, which
    fully encircles the impeller. One cut-water in this casing directs the flow of fluid to the pump's
    exit. The majority of the refinery's pumps are single volute designs.

    Double Volute

    The cut-waters of a double volute casing are 180 degrees apart. Over a single volute, a double
    provides an advantage. It reduces the shaft's defection when the pump operates outside of
    the BEP (highest efficiency point) (BEP).
    d. Based on nozzle location

    End suction/top discharge


    The suction nozzle is located at the end of, and concentric to the shaft while the
    discharge nozzle is located at the top of the case perpendicular to the shaft. Pump is
    always of an overhung type and typically has lower NPSHR because the liquid feeds
    directly into the impeller eye.

    Top/top nozzles
    The suction and discharge nozzles are located
    at the top of the case perpendicular to the shaft.
    Pump can either be overhung type or between-
    bearing type but is always a radially-split case
    pump.
    Side/side nozzles
    The suction and discharge nozzles are located at the sides of the case perpendicular to
    the shaft. Pump can either be an axially or radially split case type.
