How the mixed flow pump works

17 Jun 2019Email

Since the shape of the impeller of the mixed flow pump is between the centrifugal pump impeller and the axial flow pump impeller, the working principle of the mixed flow pump has both centrifugal force and lift. By the combined action of the two, the water flows out of the impeller at a certain angle with the shaft. Lift the water up through the volute chamber and piping.

General characteristics of mixed flow pumps

(1) Compared with the centrifugal pump, the mixed flow pump has a lower lift and a larger flow rate. Compared with the axial flow pump, the lift is higher and the flow rate is lower. Applicable to irrigation and drainage in plains and lakes.

(2) The water is sucked and discharged at a certain angle to the impeller shaft along the flow direction of the mixed flow pump, so it is also called a diagonal flow pump.
