Centrifugal and Positive Displacement Pumps
This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides guidance on the operation of centrifugal and positive displacement pumps.
In general, a pump is a mechanical device that is used to raise the flow of a fluid from one elevation to the other by increasing the pressure of the fluid. Centrifugal pumps use a centripetal force, which is defined as the action that causes the fluid to move away from its centre of rotation. Whereas positive displacement pumps physically entrap a quantity of liquid at the suction of the pump and push that quantity out the discharge of the pump.
This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily to mechanical engineers, plant operators, maintenance personnel, and technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding of centrifugal and displacement pump design and operation
This continuing education interactive presentation is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- To familiarize with centrifugal pumps’ design
- To understand the operation of centrifugal pumps
- To gain an overview of positive displacement pumps’ design and operation
