Basic knowledge of transfer pump operation
The function of the conveying pump is to transfer the liquid from one location to another. Rather, it increases the pressure and flow rate of the fluid by providing energy to overcome friction, gravity, and other system resistance in the pipe. This allows the liquid to overcome the existing atmospheric pressure or water head pressure and transfer to a pressurized pipe or container.
Diesel pump has a variety of configurations, but mainly includes the following parts:
– Sealed chamber for suction and capture of a certain volume of liquid;
– Rotating impeller, responsible for extruding the liquid from the chamber;
– The motor that drives the impeller, usually an electric motor or internal combustion engine;
– Suction and discharge outlets to allow liquid to flow in and pressure out.
By repeating the process of filling and extruding the liquid, the transfer pump can continuously move fluid between storage containers, process stages, and other points as needed. The core component of the fuel transfer pump is the rotating impeller, which provides an increase in speed and pressure for the liquid flowing through it.
Transfer pump application
Delivery pumps play a key role in a variety of applications, for the delivery of water and fuel:
Municipal water: Pumps deliver drinking water from Wells, reservoirs and treatment plants and pressurize water towers and distribution lines;
Wastewater treatment: Transfer pumps transport sewage between the different treatment stages of the treatment plant and the lifting stations;
Chemical processing: transfer pumps transfer corrosive chemicals between storage tanks and processing equipment;
Fuel transportation: diesel and gasoline delivery pumps to fuel tank trucks and underground storage tanks in warehouses and service stations;
Agriculture: Delivery pumps pressurize water to fertilize, spray chemicals, and irrigate crops.
Because the transfer pump is able to handle large amounts of liquid, it becomes ideal for any application that needs to move liquid from one point to another.
