Peripheral impeller pumps, also known as turbine pumps or regenerative pumps, are unique in their design and functionality. These pumps are widely used in various applications where high pressure or moderate flow rates are required, such as in the food and beverage industry, air conditioning systems, and small-scale domestic water supply.
The primary advantage of peripheral impeller pumps is their ability to generate high discharge pressures, making them suitable for situations where pumping against high resistance is necessary. These pumps achieve high pressures by utilising the centrifugal force generated by a peripheral impeller that rotates within a close-fitting ring channel or pump chamber. This design allows the impeller to transmit energy to the water repeatedly as it circulates within the ring channel, resulting in increased pressure.
Peripheral impeller pumps are commonly found in domestic water supply systems, irrigation systems, and small-scale industrial applications. Their ability to generate high pressure makes them well-suited for boosting water pressure in buildings or transferring water over long distances. In summary, peripheral impeller pumps offer the advantage of high-pressure capability, compact size, and cost-effectiveness. They are suitable for applications that require moderate flow rates combined with high discharge pressures. However, their lower flow rate and inability to handle abrasive water may limit their usability in certain situations.
Advantages:
High pressure: Peripheral impeller pumps can generate high pressures at low flow rates, making them suitable for applications that require high head and low flow rate.
Energy efficient: Peripheral impeller pumps are generally more energy efficient than other types of pumps, especially at low flow rates.
Compact size: Peripheral impeller pumps are usually small in size, making them suitable for applications with limited space.
Self-priming: Peripheral impeller pumps are self-priming, meaning they can automatically remove air from the system and start pumping liquid.
Disadvantages:
Limited flow rate: Peripheral impeller pumps are not designed for high flow rates and are best suited for low flow rate applications.
Limited application: Peripheral impeller pumps are typically not suitable for applications where high flow rates are required.
Limited viscosity range: Peripheral impeller pumps are not suitable for pumping highly viscous liquids, as they can easily clog or become damaged.
Limited solid handling capability: Peripheral impeller pumps are not suitable for handling abrasive or solidladen water, as they can damage the pump.
