Pumps
A pump is a machine that moves liquids (or gases) or sometimes slurries such as mud, by mechanical power, by converting electrical energy into hydraulic energy.
According to the method they use to move the fluid, pumps can be divided into three groups as “direct lift”, “displacement” and “gravity” pumps.
The pump generally does the work of transporting the liquid by consuming a certain amount of energy with the piston movement or rotational movement. Pumps run on many energy sources, including muscle power, electricity, internal combustion engine or wind power. There are many sizes of pumps, from micro pumps used in medical applications to large industrial pumps.
Mechanical pumps are used in a variety of applications such as well water extraction, aquarium and pool water filtration, aeration, cooling and fuel injection in automobiles, pumping oil and natural gas in the energy sector, or operating cooling towers and air conditioning systems.
Designed by Archiemedes (Archimedes) in the 3rd century BC, pumps operate on the principle that mechanical forces push matter through physical lifting and compression forces. Let’s continue with the answer to the question of what the pump does. Pumps increase the pressure and total energy of liquids. It provides kinetic or potential energy to the fluid it absorbs. In general, the pump serves to convey fluids from one place to another, to raise them higher and to compress the gases and evacuate the gases inside closed doors.
As we have just mentioned, there are many types of pumps for your needs. As ENKE GROUP, we supply our customers with the most suitable pump types for their needs.
