Horizontal Centrifugal Pumps are the Best Industrial Pumps!
Of all the equipment out there, centrifugal pumps are the most used pumps in industries. When it comes to pressures and liquid flows, they have excellent operational efficiency and versatility. They are also durable & long-lasting. There are two configurations for Centrifugal Pump : Horizontal and Vertical.
Want to know the real difference between the two? And, which one is right for your process application? The primary difference between the two is the shaft’s position and shape.
● Horizontal – In Horizontal Centrifugal Pumps, the shaft runs horizontally. However, it’s placed in between or hung over the bearing design. ● Vertical – Comparatively, Vertical Centrifugal Pumps have a shaft that runs vertically that means the equipment has a radial-split or overhang case design. Deciding which pump to use for your industry's operation may include several factors. The main factors are the overall convenience of running, maintenance, installation space and functionality of the pump. Let us look at some pros and cons for both the pumps. Vertical Centrifugal Pumps Pros and Cons Vertical pumps have several factors to be considered. When compared to horizontal centrifugal pumps, they require a much smaller footprint. These pumps are of great choice if you have ample amount of ground space. One of the great things while considering this is, the equipment works well for both high-pressure and higher temperature fluids. Following are the applications where Vertical Centrifugal Pumps are used: ● They are used for pipeline pressure booster
