Casing – Volute

 

Centrifugal Pump-min

Each centrifugal pump is made of hundreds of parts. There are a few components that virtually every centrifugal pump has in common. These components can be subdivided into the wet end and the mechanical end.

The wet end of the pump includes those parts that determine the hydraulic performance of the pump. The two primary wet ends are the impeller and casing. In some cases, the first radial bearing can be water lubricated. In this case, also bearing can belong to wet ends.

The mechanical end includes those parts that support the impeller within the casing. The mechanical end of the pump includes the pump shaft, sealing, bearings, and shaft sleeve.

Volute Case

Casing

impeller and diffuser

The casing contains the liquid and acts as a pressure containment vessel that directs the liquid flow in and out of the centrifugal pump. The volute is a curved funnel that increases in area as it approaches the discharge port. The volute of a centrifugal pump is the casing that receives the fluid being pumped by the impeller, slowing down the fluid’s flow rate. Therefore, according to Bernoulli’s principle, the volute converts kinetic energy into pressure by reducing speed while increasing pressure. Some centrifugal pumps contain diffusers. A diffuser is a set of stationary vanes that surround the impeller. The diffuser directs the flow, allows a more gradual expansion, and therefore increases the efficiency of the centrifugal pump.
