The Pump
A pump converts rotary or linear energy from a power source into fluid flow.
There are two main types of pump: Positive Displacement. Deliver a fixed volume of liquid during each cycle. Non-positive Displacement. The volume of liquid delivered for each cycle depends on flow resistance.

Positive Displacement Pumps

These pumps are suitable for high pressure systems.
The main types are: Gear pumps Vane pumps Disc pumps Block pump Single-acting cylinder pump Double-acting cylinder pump

Pumps

Non-positive Displacement Pumps

These pumps are suitable for low pressure, high volume systems.
The main types are: Axial Flow Propeller

Centrifugal Pump
