equipment class
A dynamic pump that contains impellers provided with vanes to generate centrifugal force to achieve the required pressure head.
A form of suction pump; a device using a high pressure jet of water to create partial vacuum at an intake opening to draw liquid from a sump.
A positive displacement pump which contains a displacing element intended to be moved in a reciprocating movement to exert pressure on a fluid, typically moving within a cylindrical space.
A positive displacement pump that consists of a chamber containing gears, cams, screws, vanes, plungers or similar elements actuated by relative rotation of the drive shaft or casing and which has no separate inlet and outlet valves.
A pump that utilizes a liquid annulus held by centrifugal force around the inside of a casing by a single rotor-impeller to compress vapour isothermally.
A physical object that adds or removes mechanical energy to a fluid, either constantly or periodically.
