The centrifugal pump is the most used pump type in the world. An increase in the fluid pressure from the
pump inlet to its outlet is created when the pump is in operation. This pressure difference drives the fluid
through the system or plant.
OPERATION

CENTRO INDUSTRIAL Y DEL DESARROLLO TECNOLÓGICO SENA REGIONAL SANTANDER
The centrifugal pump creates an increase in pressure by transferring mechanical energy from the motor to the fluid through
the rotating impeller. The fluid flows from the inlet to the impeller center and out along its blades. The centrifugal force
hereby increases the fluid velocity and consequently also the kinetic energy is transformed to pressure.

The process liquid enters the suction nozzle and then into eye (center) of a revolving device known as an
impeller. When the impeller rotates, it spins the liquid sitting in the cavities between the vanes outward and
provides centrifugal acceleration.
As liquid leaves the eye of the impeller a low-pressure area is created causing more liquid to flow toward the inlet.
Because the impeller blades are curved, the fluid is pushed in tangential and radial direction by the centrifugal
force. This force acting inside the pump is the same one that keeps water inside a bucket that is rotating at the
end of a string.

A centrifugal pump has two main components:
I. A rotating component comprised of an impeller and a shaft
BLADE ROUTER

CENTRO INDUSTRIAL Y DEL DESARROLLO TECNOLÓGICO SENA REGIONAL SANTANDER
The centrifugal pumps, also called rotative, have a router of blades that move clockwise and emerged
into the liquid. The liquid enters the pump near the pivot point of the router and the blades they drag it
towards its edges at a high pressure. The router also gives the liquid a relatively high speed that could
be transformed into pressure in a stationary part of the pump
The router must be fed before starting its function; it means that it must be surrounded by liquid when
the pump is started.
The liquid penetrates back and forth through the pipe of the vacuum until the entranced of the impeller,
experimenting a change of direction tough, speeding and vacuuming a work.
The alabes of the impeller make the particles of the liquid to a rotating movement very fast, being
projected towards the exterior by centrifugal force.

Seal: this component always stop leak the water the
pump and hamper the presence of the atmosphere
pump maintenance.
- The pump and driver are aligned improperly – realign the pump and driver
- The impeller is partially clogged – back flush or remove and clean
- The impeller or shaft is broken or bent – replace the impeller or shaft as necessary
- The foundation is not rigid – tighten the hold-down bolts of the pump and motor or adjust stilts - The bearings are worn –
replace
- The suction / discharge piping is not anchored / supported adequately – anchor / support correctly
- The pump is cavitating – locate and correct problem
- The packing gland is adjusted improperly - tighten the gland nuts
- The stuffing box is packed improperly - check or replace packing
- The mechanical seal parts are worn or broken - replace parts or seal
- The mechanical seal is overheating - check the lubrication and cooling lines
- The shaft or sleeve is scored - machine or replace
- The bearings are demaged – Dry (lack of lubrication) or worn sreplace the bearings as necessary.
Juan: hey, Alex! at here everything fine and tell me. Are you ok my friend?
Alex: I´m fine, but I really don´t like what´s going on with the pandemic and the covid-19 virus. This 2020 is crazy.
- Jesus Christ!!!
Juan: yes brother, me too. It´s worrying. now, is very important keep the biosafety protocols in the workshop, we will overcome this. I sure
you it.

Alex: That is right, brother! Everything will be fine, well… besides that I have a problem and
maybe you can help me.
Alex: well, as you already know I´m doing maintenance on a centrifugal pump, but I have a little
problem. The centrifugal pump has lost power, it is also causing sounds and vibrations.
Juan: ok, you must check into pump at its shaft, check that the bearings are correctly lubricant,
also the grease status, and try move them for see if there is friction. - Check out it, and tell me,
what do you find?
-
Alex: Perfect, inspect everything, the grease has a lot of residue and the bearings look a little worn. What would I do?
Juan: well, you got do the bearing change, so use a hydraulic press or mechanical puller for taking out both bearings from shaft.
-Remember, be careful, work with this type of tools could be dangerous.
-a thing more… don´t forge applicate new grease before of install the new bearings, ok? -also
remember put all pieces in the same place and with same initial position.
Alex: Everything looks good! I followed the steps as you have indicated, I have also used mi personal protection elements and tools
correctly.
-I change the bearings, it took a while, but I did it, then I applied the grease to the bearings and assembled piece by piece.
-I will proceed to test and analyze the centrifugal pump, I hope good results.
Juan: So, Alex tell me...
- How did you whit that?
- Has increased the pump its potency? -
It´s performance has been
improved?
Alex: friend I have good news, the centrifugal pump was like new, it is already working normal, with good power and there are no strange
sounds.
If you have some other question, don´t doubt and tell me. I´m here for serve you my friend.
Alex: I will keep it in mind for any problem that may arise in the workshop, bye!
