Discover the fascinating world of self-priming centrifugal pumps in this exciting video! Have you ever wondered how these incredible machines can suction water even when the suction pipe is empty? Get ready for a journey of discovery!
First and foremost, it's crucial to understand what it exactly means for a pump to be self-priming. This term refers to the pump's ability to retrieve water in the suction line by itself, making them truly ingenious tools. How do they achieve this? We'll explain it to you step by step.
It all starts with the priming of the pump. This process involves filling the casing with water, and in the most efficient self-priming pumps, only reaching 50% of the impeller with water is required. Watch as a particular brand demonstrates this, providing a transparent view of its internal workings.
When the suction line empties and the water level inside the casing drops, it's fascinating to see how the mixture of air and water is produced when the pump is turned on. However, the most intriguing part happens when this mixture reaches the top: the water and air separate, with the air exiting through the discharge and the water falling and recirculating.
This recirculation process is crucial as it creates a low-pressure zone at the eye of the impeller. This pressure difference between atmospheric pressure and this low-pressure zone allows the pump to remove all the air from the suction line, ultimately enabling it to suction water effectively.
Once the pump is completely filled with liquid, it can pump as expected, but what is its range? The height at which these pumps can suction depends on various factors such as pump speed, part wear, and atmospheric pressure at the installation.
So when should you consider using these types of pumps? They are ideal for dirty water that may contain solids, as well as for clean water that may contain gases or air. While we mainly showcase industrial pumps for pumping black water, we also highlight domestic models designed for clean water.
However, if you choose to use self-priming pumps for domestic use, it's essential to always install a foot valve. Unlike industrial pumps, where it's not needed, this valve ensures optimal performance in residential applications.
