A Submersible Pump is a
pump device that is able to operate underwater. It primarily operates on the
principal of centrifugal force. In order to carry out its functions by the pump
conducts hydraulic pumping action. Let’s
take a brief look at the pump’s working principle –
·
The pump is primarily divided into two segments – the bottom and
upper
·
The impeller inside the pump creates generates a space of low
pressure on one half and high pressure on the other
·
The pressure difference pulls the fluid towards the low pressure
region and expels it through the high pressure area
·
Centrifugal force generating pumps installed in the upper
segment apply the appropriate pressure on the liquid

The Advantages of Using
a Submersible Pump
As mentioned before, a submersible pump produces a number of
distinct advantages. These include –
Ø Does not need to be primed – Since a submersible pump is placed underwater, it does not
need to be primed or readied before-hand. It is able to be operated easily and
readily.
Ø Highly efficient – A submersible pump utilizes very little power as per the work it
performs. This makes it a highly productive and efficient device to operate.
Ø Is able to withstand copious amounts of damage – Withstanding harsh conditions and
wear and tear is a definite property of submersible pumps. It is able to
operate consistently and optimally with maximum performance.
Applications That Submersible Pumps Are Apt For
Submersible Pumps are utilized for a definite applications
and purposes. Some of these include –
Industrial water extraction
ü Oil production
ü Creation of fresh water wells
ü Sewage treatment plants
ü Flame retardants in fire-fighting
machines
These are
just a few of the many applications provided by a submersible pump.
