Objective
• Name three functions of a pump in the plant
2
The function of the pump
To move liquid from low pressure area
to high pressure area
3
To increase the flow rate in the piping system
4
To move liquid from low level to high level
5
Pumping terms
Total head= Discharge head+ Suction Lift
6
Total head = Discharge head - Suction Head

Classification of impellers
There are two different ways to classify
the impellers:
• With respect to the geometrical shape
• With respect to the flow direction
15
Classification with respect to the geometrical shape
• Open impeller
• Semi- open impeller
• Closed impeller
