Exploring the world of Submersible Pumps

When it comes to the world of water pumps in general, there are many options. Each pump has a different design and serves a different purpose. They differ in sizes, shapes, capacities, prices etc. They also differ in quality depending on which provider the customer chooses to go for.




However, in this large world of water pumps, there is also a unique category of pumps i.e. the submersible pumps. The general perception is that submersible pumps are good or are available only as sewage pumps. Is it so?

No, today there are few good companies who are offering Submersible pumps for all kind of water processes. i.e. from pumping Clear Water to Pumping Slurry. In this article, we’ll be sharing the very basics of a submersible pump.

• How does it get its name?
A submersible pump is called so because of its ability to operate in fully submerged condition, in water. It is also known by the name of an electric submersible pump.

• The motor of a submersible pump
The motor of a submersible pump is close-coupled (mounted on common shaft) to the pump & is like a heart of the pump. Sealing forms a very important aspect of motor, sealing can be either mechanically sealed or it can be hermetically sealed.

• The basic function of a submersible pump
A submersible pump basically aims at pushing the water to the surface. It functions in this way by converting the rotary energy into kinetic energy and further converting that into pressure energy.

• How does the pump execute this process?
This process is executed by pulling of the water into the pump. Firstly, it goes in the intake. This is where the rotation of the impeller starts pushing the water through the Volute. And then, from here, it finally goes to the surface.

• Why are submersible pumps advantageous?
Few of the major advantages of a submersible pump is that it is self-priming, no suction lift limitations, no negative suction & less power consumption.

Add to this there is no noise pollution, no wastage of surface space, pump is not necessary & last but not the least it also acts as a protection against possible theft.

• A tip of caution for using submersible pumps
The pumps must be fully submerged into the water, as it actually helps to cool the motor of the slurry pump. However, if the pump is used out of water, it may lead to overheating & burning.

In the end, if you are planning to go for a pump, its always advisable to check whether you have an option in submersible pumps & chose are the type that suits your purpose, keep these advantages in mind and go ahead about it.
