What Is a Submersible Pump?
A submersible pump is a pump with a hermetically sealed motor that is tightly coupled to the pump body. This design allows submersible pumps to be fully immersed in the fluid they are pumping.
How Does a Submersible Pump Work?
Submersible pumps move fluid by pushing it to the surface.
- As the fluid enters the pump, it strikes an impeller—a rotating component with fixed blades connected to an electric motor via a shaft.
- The impeller’s motion increases the fluid’s velocity by converting kinetic energy.
- After passing through the impeller, the fluid enters the diffuser, which transforms this velocity into pressure energy.
- The pressurized fluid is then expelled through the pump’s outlet.
Key Advantages of Submersible Pumps
Submersible pumps offer several benefits:
- Self-priming: Since they operate underwater, submersible pumps do not require manual priming.
- Lower risk of cavitation: Since they are fully submerged, these pumps are not prone to cavitation (the formation and collapse of vapor bubbles inside the pump).
- Higher energy efficiency: Submerged operation creates positive fluid pressure at the pump’s inlet, reducing the energy required to draw and move fluid through the pump.
- Quieter operation: Because they are underwater, submersible pumps operate with minimal noise.
Different Types of Submersible Pumps and Their Uses
Submersible pumps come in various models, each designed for specific fluid types. Here are some of the most common types:
Deep Well Submersible Pumps
Used for drawing water from wells, these pumps are commonly found in residential and municipal water supply systems.
Stainless Steel Submersible Pumps
Highly resistant to acids, these pumps are ideal for handling corrosive liquids that would damage cast iron pumps.
Oil-Filled Motor Submersible Pumps
These pumps feature a sealed motor submerged in oil. They are widely used for water supply in mountainous regions, drainage systems, and agricultural irrigation.
Mixed-Flow and Axial-Flow Submersible Pumps
These pumps are essential for pumping stations, wastewater drainage, sewage treatment, and overflow control.
Submersible Drainage Pumps
Ideal for removing water mixed with light abrasives, these pumps are frequently used in construction sites, mining operations, and other industrial settings.
Submersible Slurry Pumps
Designed for pumping dirty water containing solids, these pumps minimize clogging risks.
