Submersible water pumps: operation and types
Submersed water pumps are industrial-type hydraulic pumps that are powered by an electric motor for moving fluids from one receptacle to another. The main elements that distinguish them are the scope and prevalence. The flow rate of a submerged pump is nothing more than the amount of fluid that the pump can carry in a certain period of time, usually calibrated per minute. La prevalenza invece è l’altezza espressa in metri alla quale la pompa è in grado di spingere il fluido che viene rapportata alla portata: quando più quest’ultima aumenta, più diminuisce la prevalenza. The pump, in order to activate itself, needs a float which causes its movement once the fluids reach a certain height. In this way the pump transforms the electrical energy into the kinetic energy which in turn is transformed into a pressure force, raising the fluid upwards.
How many types of submersible pumps exist
Among the most common types of submerged water pumps are sewage pumps and well pumps. The sewage pump, also known as wastewater, dirty or sewage, is installed in a black pit and serves to propel fluids upward. The well pump, on the other hand, is the submerged pump for clear water and is located inside a well to take clean water. The latter kind of pump is widely used in agriculture, especially in irrigation systems.
Reliability, strength and durability
Our submerged water pumps can be fixed or variable speed, perfect for civil, domestic, agricultural or industrial use, to be installed in any context and to meet different needs. Among the main advantages of our lifting units stand out the high reliability, constant pressure, greater silence and reduced water consumption.
