The centrifugal pump is mainly made up by the pump impeller and volute, the fluid indrawing from the mid impeller, and under the influence of centrifugal force, it get the power continuous ( kinetic energy and pressure energy ), then the fluid through the volute casing, one part of the fluid is transform into pressure energy and output. The below will analysis the work operation principle of the centrifugal pump.
The solids control equipments drilling centrifuge is a sort of solid-liquid separation equipment used for separating liquid
not to mention solid particles or separating all elements in the liquid mixture by utilizing centrifugal force. The
industrial decanter
centrifuge was made inside the middle of nineteenth century, plus the old type for decanter centrifuge adopted
Decanter centrifugal pump is a subclass of turbomachinery technology. The main work of this type of pump is to bring up fluids through the transformation of the rotational energy into another energy called hydrodynamic energy. Typically, the rotational energy source is either the turbine, electric motor or engine.
