Self-Priming Pump
Easy and Reliable Water Transfer with ORFA: Self-Priming Pumps
Water transfer is a fundamental process needed in many different areas. Conventional pumps can struggle to pick up water, especially if there's air in the suction line. Self-priming pumps eliminate this problem, providing practical and reliable water transfer. At ORFA Industrial Products Industry and Trade Inc., we offer self-priming pump solutions suitable for a variety of applications.
What is a Self-Priming Pump?
A self-priming pump is a type of pump that, thanks to its special design in the pump casing, can automatically suction and pump water, even if there is air in the suction line. This feature is a significant advantage in applications where the pump is above the water level and air accumulation in the suction line is likely.
Self-Priming Pump Working Principle:
Self-priming pumps create a vacuum by forcing air out of the suction line, which then draws in water. This process is usually initiated by adding some water to the pump casing.
- First Filling: Some water is added to the pump body.
- Impeller Movement: When the pump is started, the impeller begins to rotate.
- Air-Water Mixture: Impeller movement mixes the water in the pump body and the air coming from the suction line.
- Air Separation: The pump design separates air and water. Air is expelled while water remains in the pump casing.
- Vacuum Formation: As air is removed, a vacuum is created in the suction line.
- Water Suction: The vacuum created draws water from the suction line towards the pump.
- Pressing: The pump presses the water it has sucked into the discharge line.
