Centrifugal impeller types

Centrifugal pumps are popular today because they can be used in a wide variety of applications, including households, commercial buildings, condominiums, schools, hotels, agricultural work, and large-scale industrial applications. Centrifugal pumps also come in many different types.

Centrifugal pumps are water pumps that have a pump body that looks like a snail. They are centrifugal pumps that have a working system that uses a rotating impeller to create centrifugal force to pump water. Therefore, choosing the impeller is an important part of choosing a centrifugal pump because the water may contain sediment that can damage the water pump. So let's see how many types of impellers there are in all centrifugal pumps.

Centrifugal impeller types

1. Closed Impeller is the most popular type of impeller used with centrifugal pumps. It consists of two steel plates attached to the impeller fins to support the flow of liquid. This type of impeller is only used with centrifugal pumps for clean water.

2. Semi-Open Impeller is a popular type used with centrifugal pumps. It can support viscous liquids. It consists of a steel plate attached to a single impeller fin. This type of impeller is popularly used for pumping liquids that contain solids.

3. Open Impeller is a popular type used with small centrifugal pumps. It has only one fin and no steel plate. It can support larger solids, but has the disadvantage that the impeller can withstand less impact from liquid than the first two types. Therefore, the frequency of the motor rotation must also be reduced to prevent breakage of the impeller.

4. Paper-Stock Impeller is a popular type of impeller used in centrifugal pumps that pump thick liquids. This type of impeller is popularly used in pulp and paper factories.

5. Mix Flow Impeller is a type of impeller that has the characteristics of pushing the liquid in the same direction as the flow into the impeller and the centrifugal force.

Overall, the selection of centrifugal pump impellers is quite similar to the principles of water pump selection. However, we must take into account the type and details of the liquid we wish to pump, such as solid particles or various liquids.
