The Versatility & Efficiency of Submersible Pumps

SUBMERGED & SUPERCHARGED:

Understanding the Versatility and Efficiency of Submersible Pumps in Fluid Handling Solutions

Pumping water from flooded areas, powering agricultural systems, and moving oil from the ground to holding facilities all rely on submersible pumps. As the name suggests, these pumps are submersed in the fluid that needs to be transferred, making them the most efficient and versatile pumps for a wide range of applications. To ensure that the submersible pumps you invest in last, we at Prochem Chemical Pump Manufacturers offer Ebara pumps for optimal performance.

BASIC WORKING PRINCIPLE OF SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS

Unlike other types of pumps that work above ground and pull fluids, submersible pumps push fluids to the surface. These energy-efficient pumps rely on the rotating action of impellers to draw fluids into the intake port and discharge them through an outlet. This action is repeated until the desired flow and pressure rates have been reached. Uniquely designed hermetic seals provide an airtight and watertight casing, enabling you to pump fluids safely.

THE PROVEN EFFICACY OF SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS

Known for their efficiency and reliability, submersible pumps have several advantages over other types of pumps, namely:

  • As the pumps are placed in the fluid being pumped, they do not need to be primed.

  • These pumps can handle different types of fluids.

  • Some submersible pumps are compact, making them ideal for use in smaller spaces, especially when used to remove excess water from basements.

  • The robust design allows them to be submersed in fluids for long periods.

  • They do not suffer from cavitation, which can cause significant damage to a pump.

  • When used to pump water, submersible pumps are extremely energy efficient as they rely on the pressure of the water to assist in the movement of the liquid into the pump.

  • As these pumps tend to have fewer mechanical issues, they last longer than external pumps.

With Ebara submersible pumps being specifically designed for high performance and versatility of use, they are the most suitable solution for applications that require high reliability during operations.

THE CONTINUED RELIABILITY OF SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS

As the components of submersible pumps are designed for dependable use in the harsh environments in which they operate, their ruggedness makes it possible for them to be used in applications where more than liquids need to be moved from one point to another.

1. Dewatering of Construction Sites

Construction sites handle a wide range of solids in the water and require submersible pumps to not only drain water and less abrasive solids away from the site but also to pump sludge or abrasive solids in suspension, such as gravel. 

2. Wastewater and Sewage Collection

Wastewater collection systems rely on several piping networks and systems to collect the water and move it to a treatment facility. As much as these systems have been designed to use gravity to their advantage to move water, there are instances where soil conditions and topography may impede the gravitational flow. Submersible pumps are placed in collection areas, enabling the water to be pumped to higher elevations and moved to treatment facilities.

Submersible pumps are typically used for drainage, sewerage, and irrigation systems; however, the ability for these pumps to be completely submersed in fluids makes them the preferred choice of pumps for several applications.
