Cavitation in centrifugal pumps is a common yet often misunderstood phenomenon that can lead to significant performance issues. It occurs when vapor bubbles form in the liquid being pumped due to lower pressure, which can cause vibrations and damage to the pump components. Understanding how cavitation affects pump efficiency and lifespan is crucial for maintaining […]

Double suction pumps are a unique type of centrifugal pump designed to handle high flow rates with balanced hydraulic forces. These pumps feature two impellers mounted back-to-back on a single shaft, allowing fluid to enter from both sides. This design reduces the axial thrust on the pump bearings and shaft, leading to improved efficiency and […]
