All-Pumps Centrifugal Pump – Tkl Ec Series

Fluid enters the suction line and falls on the impeller eye and is “centrifuged” (hence the name) to the impeller periphery, with assistance from the impeller vanes.  

As the impeller rotates, it imparts kinetic energy onto the liquid surrounding it due to friction. The liquid moves towards the outer periphery of the impeller; its kinetic energy is then changed to pressure. The impeller has vanes separated by channels through which the liquid flows. Each channel has an increasing flow path area. As the flow path area expands, the liquid’s velocity decreases and the pressure increases.  

For the EC pump with a multistage configuration, the process repeats as it goes through each stage until it reaches the discharge port.
