Function:
Submersible pumps are designed to operate submerged in liquids, usually water or other fluids. They are widely used in industry for drainage, water pumping, wastewater treatment plants, aquaculture, mining and other applications where it is necessary to move liquids from one point to another.
2. How It Works:
Submersion: The pump is installed directly into the fluid that needs to be moved. It is submerged in the liquid source, eliminating the need for priming (initial filling with liquid) before operation.
Impulsion: The submersible pump uses an electric motor or other drive mechanism to drive an impeller, which rotates and creates a centrifugal force. This force moves the liquid toward the pump outlet.
3. Types of Submersible Pumps:
Centrifugal Submersible Pump:
It uses a rotating impeller to generate centrifugal pressure and move fluid. It is effective in clean water, wastewater and drainage applications.
Submersible Pump for Wastewater:
Specifically designed to handle wastewater and sewage. It has the capacity to pump liquids with suspended solids.
Submersible Pump for Deep Wells:
Designed to operate in deep wells, often in water supply applications. It has characteristics that allow it to deal with high depths.
Submersible Sewage Pump:
Similar to wastewater pumps, but designed to handle denser, dirtier liquids found in sewer systems.
Submersible Pump for Clean Water:
Designed for cleaner waters, without large suspended solids. It is commonly used for water supply, irrigation and drinking water systems.
Submersible Pump for Aquaculture:
Specially designed for aquaculture operations, moving large volumes of water to fish farming tanks or water recirculation systems.
High Pressure Submersible Pump:
Designed to supply water at high pressure, being used in industrial and commercial applications, such as firefighting systems.
Solar Submersible Pump:
It uses solar energy to drive the pump, making it a sustainable option for regions where electricity may be limited.
Submersible Pump for Salt Water:
Designed to operate in marine or saltwater environments, resisting corrosion caused by salinity.
4. Importance in Industry:
Submersible pumps are vital for dealing with situations where water or liquids need to be transferred or removed in submerged environments.
They are widely used in sectors such as construction, mining, agriculture, water treatment, aquaculture and many others.
The ability to operate submerged saves space and simplifies installation compared to non-submerged pumps. |
