    Rotary gear, rotary vane, and centrifugal pumps are the main types covered. Centrifugal pumps are most common today. They work by using an impeller driven by a throttle to increase water pressure. Two-stage centrifugal pumps can further boost pressure. Proper pump operation requires an adequate water supply to prevent overheating and cavitation. Relief valves help regulate excess pressure. Running a pump dry or without flow can quickly damage it.

    Pump types and theory

    Types of pumps
    • There are three main types that will
    be covered;
    – Rotary gear
    – Rotary vane
    – Centrifucal
    • Centrifucal pumps are the most
    common type of pump found today,
    we will go into its use in depth
    Rotary Gear Pumps
    • Rotary pumps
    work by using tight
    tolerance gears to
    push water
    • Tolerances are so
    tight that this
    pump will pump air
    Rotary Vane Pumps
    • These pumps work
    like the rotary gear
    pumps, but have
    vanes that can
    extend and retract
    • This pump resists
    the effects of wear
    much better

    Throttle controls
    the rotation speed
    of the impellor.
    More throttle =
    more pressure

    Water supply for the pump

    steamers

    Tank to pump
    Tank fill

    Water being supplied to steamer intake


    into pump, flowing discharges and filling
    tank at the same time
    Two stage pumps
    two stage pump in volume
    Two stage pump in pressure
    Discharge Manifold
    • The water being
    discharged from
    the pump is forced
    into a manifold; the
    junction for all
    discharge lines
    • The manifold has
    all of the discharge
    valves that are
    controled from the
    pump panel
    Using the relief valve

    Relief Valves are Excess


    Used to sharp pressure is
    increases in dumped into
    pressure from the intake
    going all the way side of the
    through the pump
    attack lines and
    harming the
    nozzle crew
    Using the relief valve
    Using the relief valve
    Centrifucal Pump Problems
    • There are several conditions that can
    reduce the life or destroy the pump;
    – Running the pump with nothing flowing
    or circulating
    – Cavitating the pump
    – Running the pump dry
    Pump Running, but not
    Discharging
    • Water that is held in
    closed lines and in the
    pump will be warmed by
    the friction of the
    running pump
    • If let go long enough, the
    water can boil and
    cavitate the pump
    • Check to see if your
    hoselines are warm or
    hot
    Pump Cavitation
    • This occurs when
    there is too much air
    in the pump, or there
    is more water being
    discharged than is
    coming into the pump
    • Sounds like gravel
    rolling around on the
    inside of the pump
    casing
    Running the Pump Without
    Water
    • Pumps need the
    water for cooling,
    lubrication, and to
    swell the packing
    • Without water in
    the pump, the heat
    from friction will
    quickly destroy a
    pump
