How a Submersible Pump works
A submersible pump is a type of pump designed to be fully submerged in liquid, typically water. It's commonly used for pumping water from wells, boreholes, reservoirs, and other water sources. The pump operates underwater and is designed to push water to the surface. Here's how a submersible pump works:
- Motor and Impeller Assembly: The pump consists of a motor and an impeller assembly. The motor is hermetically sealed to prevent water from entering and damaging it. The impeller is a rotating component with curved blades that's responsible for generating the pumping action.
- Water Intake: The submersible pump is lowered into the water source until it's fully submerged. The intake portion of the pump, usually located at the bottom, allows water to enter the pump housing.
- Impeller Rotation: The electric motor drives the rotation of the impeller. As the impeller spins, its curved blades create a centrifugal force that pushes water away from the center of the impeller.
- Centrifugal Action: The centrifugal force generated by the spinning impeller creates a low-pressure area at the center of the impeller. This low-pressure region causes water to be drawn into the pump through the intake. The impeller then accelerates the water radially outward, imparting kinetic energy to it.
- Conversion of Kinetic Energy: The kinetic energy of the water is converted into pressure energy as it moves from the impeller's outer edge towards the pump's discharge outlet. This pressure energy increases the water's pressure, allowing it to overcome the resistance of the pipe or hose connected to the pump's outlet.
- Discharge: The pressurized water is pushed up through the pump's discharge pipe or hose and is delivered to the surface or to the desired location. The height the water can be lifted depends on the pump's design, motor power, and the specific water source's depth.
- Cooling and Lubrication: The submersible pump's motor is cooled and lubricated by the water it's submerged in. This is one reason why these pumps are designed to be fully submerged at all times. The surrounding water helps dissipate heat generated by the motor during operation.
- Automatic Shut-Off: Many submersible pumps are equipped with sensors that monitor water levels. If the water level drops too low (indicating that the water source is running dry), the pump can automatically shut off to prevent damage.
Overall, submersible pumps are efficient and effective for pumping water from deep sources because they work directly in the water, eliminating the need for priming and providing consistent performance regardless of changes in water levels.
