Centrifugal pump selection and characteristics information

Centrifugal compressors, sometimes called impeller compressors or radial compressors, are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery...

There are three basic types of pumps: positive-displacement, centrifugal and axial-flow pumps. In centrifugal pumps the direction of flow of the fluid...

cavitation during the pump's operation on the suction side. It is defined by centrifugal and axial pumps' inherent physical characteristics and operating point...

Most common today are the hermetic scroll, semi-hermetic screw, or centrifugal compressors. The condensing side of the chiller can be either air or...

especially when creating suction in a pump or compressor. An impeller is a rotating component of a centrifugal pump that accelerates fluid outward from...

maintain the proper amount of tension on the belt. Simple CVTs combining a centrifugal drive pulley with a spring-loaded driven pulley often use belt tension...

the principle of centrifugal force to separate solids from liquids by density difference. High rotation speed provides high centrifugal force that allows...

flow, directly connected to a centrifugal pump that boosts the output pressure, reducing the pressure needed from the pump and thereby its energy input, similar...

centrifugal fan may become noisy due to build up which cannot effectively be removed with vinegar for example. However, the fan can be replaced, and the...

where both the stationary and mobile phases are liquids and the liquid stationary phase is held stagnant by a strong centrifugal force. The operating principle...

interface and condenses back into a liquid, releasing the latent heat. The liquid then returns to the hot interface through capillary action, centrifugal force...

relatively large machine which included a 25 stage centrifugal compressor designed by Auguste Rateau and built by the Brown Boveri Company. The gas turbine...

"forced convection." In this case, the fluid is forced to flow by use of a pump, fan, or other mechanical means. Thermal radiation occurs through a vacuum...

pressure plate centrifugally actuated to engage at around 600rpm. Pure racing cars, such as the ERA, avoided a clutch altogether and relied on the progressive...

additive (pure concentrate) and the mixture (diluted solution) are called antifreeze, depending on the context. Careful selection of an antifreeze can enable...

their characteristics differ. For example, a pumped-hydro station is well suited for bulk load management applications due to their large capacities and power...
