What is Peripheral Water Pump

 

 

A peripheral pump is a close-coupled centrifugal pump with an impeller consisting of a large number of radial vanes on the outside edge. The impeller rotates in a concentric casing channel with the liquid flowing between the vanes and casing transmitting large amounts of energy leading to a large increase in pressure within the pump.

The inlet and outlet of the casing are separated by a strip of metal ensuring all fluid entering the inlet is discharged via the outlet.

They are typically designed for clean fluids due to the narrow clearances between the impeller vanes and pump casing meaning any solids would stop the impeller.

Peripheral Pump applications tend to be applications where a medium to high pressure liquid transfer pump is required of low viscosity which can be for hydro cyclone feed, filtration, transfer of fluids across large distances, jetting, and for display fountains.

Components of Peripheral Water Pump

 

Motor
The motor is the source of power for a peripheral pump. This motor is powered by electricity in which it operates by converting the electrical energy into mechanical power. The electrical energy is supplied by the mains electricity line. The mechanical power is provided in terms of torque and speed depicted on the motor shaft.

 

Impeller
This is the part of the pump that rotates at high speed to create a vacuum in the pump. This vacuum is meant to force fluid from its source into the pump. Peripheral pump manufacturers design the impeller with radial vanes. Such vanes are used to rotate the fluid as it enters the pump.

 

Casing
This is the pump housing meant to seal off the atmosphere to the pump interior and prevent fluid leakage. The casing is designed to allow fluid to rotate between it and the impeller as the fluid kinetic energy is converted to pressure energy. This high-pressure energy is used to move the fluid to the required destination. Peripheral pump manufacturers produce the casing from high strength materials like stainless steel or cast iron to ensure it can withstand high fluid pressure.

 

Suction pipe and valve
The suction pipe is used to connect the pump inlet port to the source of the liquid like a tank. This is the pipe that is used to convey the liquid from its source into the pump when the impeller starts rotating. The suction valve is used to regulate the amount of fluid that flows into the pump. Peripheral pump manufacturers also design this valve with a strainer to help filter out any foreign materials from getting into the pump and causing a blockage.

 

Discharge pipe and valve
The discharge pipe connects the pump to the pipe network. The valve is used to regulate the fluid flowing from the pump to the pipeline.

 

Material of Peripheral Water Pump
 
Cast iron

Cast iron is a widely used material in water pump construction due to its affordability and excellent strength properties. It is known for its high resistance to wear, making it suitable for handling abrasive fluids and solids-laden liquids. Cast iron pumps are commonly used in applications such as irrigation, drainage, and wastewater management.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is highly regarded for its exceptional corrosion resistance, making it a popular choice for water pump construction. It can withstand chemically aggressive environments, including seawater, acidic or alkaline solutions, and various chemicals. Stainless steel pumps are commonly used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical processing, where hygiene and resistance to corrosion are critical.

Bronze/brass

Bronze is a versatile material known for its excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly in marine environments. It offers good strength, durability, and thermal conductivity. Bronze pumps are commonly used in applications where resistance to seawater and brackish water is required, such as marine, offshore, and coastal applications.

Plastic

Plastic, specifically engineered thermoplastics like polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is widely used in water pump construction due to its corrosion resistance, lightweight nature, and low cost. Plastic pumps are commonly used in applications involving the handling of chemicals, acids, and alkaline solutions.

 

How to Maintain Peripheral Water Pump
 
 

Step 1: Check pump discharge pressure
You can calculate the head pressure of your pump by observing the difference between the suction and discharge gauges. Check that these are within the manufacturer's recommended range.

 
 

Step 2: Check vibration levels
Excessive vibration can be an indication of imminent pump failure. Causes include damaged bearings, improper pump alignment or obstructions in the suction and discharge lines.

 
 

Step 3: Check all seals
Pumps rely on seals to avoid leaks. However, rubber seals can lose quality over time and eventually crack. If there are signs of leakage, it indicates a seal issue. You may need to open the pump and replace those that are worn.

 
 

Step 4: Check bearing condition
Ensure bearings spin freely and have sufficient lubrication. Lubricants should not bubble. If they do, you may need to add more to dissipate excess bearing heat.

 

 

Working Principle of a Peripheral Pump

 

 

In essence, peripheral pumps are niche products that sit between displacement pumps and centrifugal pumps. In many applications in the industry, the medium is pumped in a peripheral channel, which is why we call it that. This pump works as a volume displacer by sucking the liquid through the suction flange. The liquid is then directed into an annular channel.

 

A peripheral impeller rotates within this channel, centrifugally transforming the liquid. Peripheral impellers are special impellers that have a large number of small radial vanes arranged around their perimeter. The blades in the impeller impart great kinetic energy onto the liquid as it exits the pump via the discharge flange after passing through the annular channel.

 

Peripheral pumps contain impellers with many small radial blades (with dual inputs) arranged along their peripheral area. Within the rotor, centrifugal forces create a circulation of the flow between the impeller and casing channel. A fluid and an impeller have essentially the same peripheral speeds, but the fluid in the casing channel has a significantly lower speed. Thus, the fluid flows spirally from the casing channel to the impeller, which occurs several times along the perimeter.

 

As more vortices form, more energy is transferred, and the produced pressure is higher. With a reduced flow, the number of spirals increases, so there is a greater transfer of energy and a higher amount of power absorbed in partial-load conditions.

 

Difference Between Centrifugal and Peripheral Pumps

 

At first glance, centrifugal and peripheral pumps may appear similar, but upon closer inspection, we find significant differences in terms of durability, pressure, water flow and ease of use. These differences are crucial when selecting the right pump for your specific needs.

Standard Centrifugal Pump

Pump purpose

If your primary need is for higher pressure, extended service life and relatively simple maintenance, the centrifugal pump is probably the most suitable choice. These pumps are known for their robustness and efficiency in situations requiring constant flow and high pressure. In contrast, peripheral pumps, while more affordable and suitable for water lifts at significant heads, can experience problems such as turbine scaling if not used for an extended period of time.

Household Electric Pump

Water head

This is a critical factor in choosing your pump. If you need to pump water at elevations above 14 meters, a peripheral pump is more suitable, as these pumps are designed to work efficiently in these conditions, despite their lower flow rate. Centrifugal pumps, although powerful, may not be as efficient in these high head situations.

Self-priming Jet Pumps

Available budget

Cost is an important factor in decision making. Peripheral pumps are typically more affordable, costing up to half the price of a centrifugal pump. This price difference makes peripheral pumps an attractive option for applications with limited budgets, as long as they meet your specific needs in terms of pressure and lift.

 

 

The Difference Between Side Channel and Peripheral Pumps

If you have ever seen a side channel pump in action, this is fairly similar. The key difference of these from centrifugal pumps is that the curves do not flatten if the flow of liquid slows down. The curves of the pump are straight lines which allows for maximum heads at low flows and low heights at peak flows.

Many applications use these kind of pumps for a variety of reasons now. A great bonus of them is that gases can pass through with no interruption to the liquid flow or chance of bearings being damaged due to dry running. They need very low suction heads and have narrow columns to stop any abrasive material entering. One of the main plus points of peripheral pumps is that their steep Capacity/Head curves are perfect for pressure sensitive systems.

FAQ
 

Q: How does a peripheral pump work?

A: The fluid in a peripheral pump is pumped into a peripheral channel (around the edge of the casing). Unlike standard centrifugal pumps, the curves do not flatten as the fluid flow decreases. To summarise the fluid moves along the circumference for the inlet to the outlet of the casing with increasing pressure.

Q: Which is better, a centrifugal or peripheral pump?

A: If you need to pump water at elevations above 14 meters, a peripheral pump is more suitable, as these pumps are designed to work efficiently in these conditions, despite their lower flow rate. Centrifugal pumps, although powerful, may not be as efficient in these high head situations.

Q: What is a peripheral shower pump?

A: A 'Standard' peripheral pump allows water to run through its pump heads even when it's not running. The pump has a flow sensor that detects this flow to switch the pump on and boost water pressure and flow. The flow switch needs a flow due to gravity alone of at least 1 litre per minute to activate the pump.

Q: What are the advantages of a peripheral pump?

A: Peripheral Pumps advantages include:
Standard versions have manometric suction lifts up to 8M when fitted with a foot valve. 2) Low flow rates at high pressures similar to gear pump without need for gear box. It also means they are compact in design, and with low axial thrust their lifespan is long.

Q: How do you prime a peripheral pump?

A: The pump must be primed (filled with liquid) before starting. Turn on liquid supply, prime and vent the pump by unscrewing the priming plug slowly until all air escapes and liquid emerges. Re-tighten the plug.

Q: Where are peripheral pumps used?

A: Peripheral pump
They are suitable for pumping uncontaminated liquids, e.g. as boiler feed pumps for small boilers, as pressure boosting pumps, car wash pumps, as pumps for the chemical industry and for all applications in which low flow rates have to be pumped at high pressure.

Q: What is the theory of peripheral pump?

A: Peripheral pumps operate by means of an impeller characterised by a large number of small dual-flow radial blades (with dual input) arranged along its peripheral area. The centrifugal forces inside the rotor generate a circulatory flow between the impeller and the casing channel.

Q: What is self-priming peripheral pump?

A: The self-priming peripheral pump is suitable for transferring water without abrasive particles or other liquid whose properties are similar to water. It's widely used in household water supply, well water pumping, tap water pressure, water tower's supply, solar or hot water systems pressure, etc.

Q: What are the advantages of a peripheral pump?

A: Their purchase price is generally lower compared to other types of pumps, making them an attractive option for limited budgets. This feature, along with their pressure capacity, makes them very popular in the domestic environment for tasks such as pumping clean water, free of abrasive particles or chemical liquids.

Q: Which type of pump is most efficient?

A: Centrifugal pump
The most efficient pump design is a centrifugal pump. A centrifugal pump is a type of pump that uses the force of rotation to move fluid through the device. Centrifugal pumps are generally more efficient than other types of pumps because they can move a greater amount of fluid with each turn of the impeller.

Q: What type of pump produces the smoothest flow?

A: Centrifugal pumps, on the other hand, produce a smooth constant flow. The back-and-forth motion of a reciprocating pump can also be a source of vibration and noise. It is therefore important to construct very strong foundations for this type of pump.

Q: Which type of pump is most reliable?

A: Centrifugal pumps
Centrifugal pumps are robust equipment that generally offer good efficiency. This type of pump can pump large volumes and at a constant flow.
