Pumps come with different types. Various classifications are grouped pumps based on various specifications. In one of the most common classifications based on conducting the energy from pump to the fluid, pumps are grouped into two categories:
Dynamic Pumps:
In these pumps, energy is permanently conducted to the fluid. Types of dynamic pumps include:
Positive Displacement Pumps:
In these pumps, energy is conducted to the fluid alternatively or periodically. Types of positive displacement pumps include:
Dynamic Pumps:
In these pumps, energy is permanently conducted to the fluid. Types of dynamic pumps include:
- Centrifugal
- Axial
Positive Displacement Pumps:
In these pumps, energy is conducted to the fluid alternatively or periodically. Types of positive displacement pumps include:
- Reciprocating
- Rotary
