- Irrigation: Perfect for gardens and allotments.
Installation Guidelines
- Install in an enclosed or sheltered environment to protect from inclement weather.
Performance Range
- Flow rate: Up to 160 l/min (9.6 m³/h)
- Head: Up to 56 m
- Manometric suction lift: Up to 7 m
- Liquid temperature range: -10°C to +90°C
- Ambient temperature limit: Up to +40°C
What is a Micro Peripheral Pump?
A centrifugal pump is a mechanical device that moves fluid by transferring rotational energy from one or more impellers. Fluid enters the impeller along its axis and is expelled by centrifugal force through the impeller’s vane tips. This action increases the fluid’s velocity and pressure, directing it toward the pump outlet. The pump casing is designed to control and slow the fluid before discharge.
Main Features of Centrifugal Pumps
- Higher flow rates: Ideal for pumping low-viscosity liquids (as low as 0.1 cP).
- Wide usage: Commonly used in chemical plants, with 90% of pumps being centrifugal.
Limitations of Centrifugal Pumps
- High viscosity inefficiency:
- Centrifugal pumps struggle with high-viscosity liquids (>200 cP).
- Increased resistance and pressure are required, reducing efficiency.
- Shear sensitivity:
- High-speed impellers can damage shear-sensitive fluids (e.g., emulsions, slurries, biological liquids).
- Positive displacement pumps are preferred for such applications.
- Dry-run limitation:
- Cannot provide suction when dry.
- Variable flow under pressure changes:
- Flow rate varies with feed pressure, unlike positive displacement pumps, which provide constant output.
- Unsuitable for accurate dosing:
Comparison: Centrifugal vs. Positive Displacement Pumps
| Feature | Centrifugal Pump | Positive Displacement Pump |
|---|---|---|
| Viscosity Range | 0.1–200 cP | Handles high-viscosity liquids (>200 cP) |
| Shear Sensitivity | High-speed impellers can damage fluids | Low-speed operation, gentle on fluids |
| Dry-run Capability | Cannot operate dry | Can handle dry runs |
| Flow Consistency | Variable flow under pressure changes | Constant output, pressure-independent |
| Dosing Accuracy | Not suitable for precise dosing | Ideal for accurate dosing |
