Peripheral pumps have higher
head coefficients and steeper
characteristic curves than side
channel pumps.
As the flow rate increases,
peripheral pumps' input power decreases.
Multistage pumps are peripheral
pumps that have multiple blade wheels
arranged at the different diameter levels o
f the impeller.
Peripheral pumps,
also referred to as regenerative pumps
(also see Side channel pumps),
are centrifugal pumps whose impeller
(see Peripheral impeller)
rotates in a largely concentric casing
channel with an inlet and an outlet opening.
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.
A pump is a device that moves
fluids (liquids or gases),
or sometimes slurries,
by mechanical action,
typically converted from
electrical energy into hydraulic energy.
On the other hand,
they have a better capacity.
Another very striking advantage
lies in the fact that these products
are very inexpensive to purchase.
For these reasons,
they are widely used in the
home to pump clean water
, without abrasive particles or chemical liquids.
