Centrifugal Pump Parts

What is the main component of a centrifugal pump?

• impeller

• pipe

• motor

• valve

What is the purpose of an impeller in a centrifugal pump?

• To decrease fluid velocity

• To increase fluid velocity

• To generate heat

• To filter the fluid

What is the function of a volute in a centrifugal pump?

• The function of a volute in a centrifugal pump is to filter the fluid.

• The function of a volute in a centrifugal pump is to increase the flow rate of the fluid.

• The function of a volute in a centrifugal pump is to cool down the fluid.

• The function of a volute in a centrifugal pump is to convert the high-velocity fluid from the impeller into a pressure head.

What is the purpose of a casing in a centrifugal pump?

• To reduce the efficiency of the pump.

• To prevent fluid from entering the pump.

• To increase the speed of fluid flow.

• To enclose and support pump components and direct fluid flow.

What is the role of a shaft in a centrifugal pump?

• To transmit power from the motor to the impeller

• To provide stability and support to the impeller

• To prevent leakage of fluid from the pump

• To control the flow rate of the pump

What is the function of a bearing in a centrifugal pump?

• To increase the speed of the pump.

• To support the rotating shaft and reduce friction between moving parts.

• To regulate the flow rate of the pump.

• To prevent the pump from overheating.

What is the purpose of a seal in a centrifugal pump?

• To allow easy access for maintenance and repairs.

• To prevent leakage of fluid from the pump casing.

• To increase the flow rate of the pump.

• To reduce the efficiency of the pump.

What is the role of an inlet in a centrifugal pump?

• To regulate the flow rate of the fluid

• To cool down the pump

• To prevent fluid entry into the pump

• To allow fluid entry and direct it towards the impeller.

What is the function of a diffuser in a centrifugal pump?

• To regulate the temperature of the pump

• To reduce the pressure energy of the pump

• To convert kinetic energy into pressure energy

• To increase the flow rate of the pump

What is the purpose of a discharge outlet in a centrifugal pump?

• To prevent the flow of fluid

• To increase the pressure of the fluid

• To release pressurized fluid and direct it to the desired location or system.

• To cool down the pump
