Centrifugal and reciprocating pumps are essential equipment used for liquid transfer across various sectors. Though one looks different from the other and functions in a different way, both kinds of pumps are extremely important to keep things on the move.
Centrifugal pumps rely on a rotating component such as an impeller. The whizzing generates a force that forces liquids outward. This force aids in pushing out the liquid through the pump into the system. In contrast, a reciprocating pump has a component known as a piston. The liquid is pumped back and forth with a piston. Both pumps are excellent at pumping liquids, but each has its pros and cons.
High-Pressure Situations In high-pressure situations, centrifugal pumps could very well outperform pricier options. They also can accommodate high throughput of liquids, a good thing if pressure is important. When you need to control how much liquid goes through, reciprocating pumps are your friends. They are able to adjust the speed and motion of the piston, a quality that is beneficial to industries such as food production and chemical processing.
A major distinction between the two pumps is their efficiency. Centrifugal pumps typically require less energy than reciprocating pumps because they are simpler and less costly with fewer moving parts. The reciprocating pump, however, can handle higher pressures and more viscous liquids, so it’s better for certain jobs. When deciding between these pumps, consider what your industry needs.
Regardless of what pump you decide on, you'll want to maintain its health to avoid costly repairs. Routine maintenance, including making sure it’s leak free, seals are visible and adding oil to moving parts, can help your pump last longer and do a better job for you. BeyondPetro also provides maintenance services so your pumps stay in mint condition and spend less time on the sidelines.
