    5 - Centrifugal Pump Construction

    Uploaded by

    Ahmed Moustafa
    Centrifugal pumps can have open, semi-open, or closed impellers. They use volutes and diffusers to increase efficiency and operating range. Multistage centrifugal pumps are used for high pressure applications. Pump seals prevent leakage and include wear rings, packing seals, and mechanical seals to withstand high pressures and temperatures.
