Transporting liquids or pressurizing liquids
The core function of a water pump is to transport or pressurize liquids by converting the mechanical energy of the prime mover or other external energy into liquid energy. The specific functions can be divided into the following aspects:
1. Liquid transportation and pressurization
Pumping liquids from low places to high places (such as agricultural irrigation, building drainage) or long-distance transportation (such as urban water supply).
The centrifugal force or volume change generated by the rotation of the impeller pressurizes the liquid (such as the pressure of a high-pressure water pump can reach 11 kg).
2. Wide adaptability to media
It can transport single liquids such as water, oil, acid and alkali liquids, liquid metals, and emulsions.
It can also handle complex media containing suspended solids or gas-liquid mixtures (such as slurry, sewage).
3. Multi-field applications
Agriculture : irrigation and drainage, improving disaster resistance.
Industry : liquid circulation and transportation in petrochemical and power equipment.
People's livelihood and environmental protection : urban water supply, sewage treatment, fire protection system, etc.
Key performance parameters include flow rate, head, efficiency, etc. Different types (such as centrifugal pumps and axial flow pumps) are suitable for different scenarios.
