CHAPTER 6 Pumps
Chapter Overview
Pumps are mechanical devices that transfer energy to move liquids through piping
systems. Pumps are used in many applications, including filling or emptying tanks,
wells, pits, and trenches; supplying water to boilers; providing circulation for systems;
moving material between process vessels; supplying fire control water; lubricating
equipment; and drawing samples.
The two main categories of pumps are dynamic and positive displacement. Dynamic
pumps use impellers to generate centrifugal force, which is then converted to dynamic
pressure to move liquids, or they use propellers to move liquids axially (in a straight
line). Positive displacement pumps use pistons, diaphragms, screws, lobes, gears, or
vanes to move or push liquids. Dynamic pumps tend to be used more often than
positive displacement pumps because they are less expensive, easier to operate, and
require less space and maintenance.
When working with pumps, process technicians should conduct monitoring and
maintenance activities to ensure that pumps are properly lubricated and that there is no
leakage from any of the pump components. Process technicians should also monitor
pumps for damaging conditions such as overpressurization, overheating, and cavitation.
