Types of pumps
There are three main types that will
be covered;
Rotary gear
Rotary vane
Centrifucal
Throttle controls
the rotation speed
of the impellor.
More throttle =
more pressure
Booster
tank
Intake
from
steamers
and 2
Tank to pump
Tank fill
Discharge Manifold
The water being
discharged from
the pump is forced
into a manifold; the
junction for all
discharge lines
The manifold has
all of the discharge
valves that are
controled from the
pump panel
Excess
pressure is
dumped into
the intake
side of the
pump
Pump Cavitation
This occurs when
there is too much air
in the pump, or there
is more water being
discharged than is
coming into the pump
Sounds like gravel
rolling around on the
inside of the pump
casing
