Axial flow pumps are kinetic pumps which move fluid axially through an impeller. They tend to provide high flow rate and low head, they can generally be adjusted to run efficiently at different conditions by changing the impeller pitch.
Advantages of Axial Flow Pumps
- Axial flow pumps are high volume low head pumps.
- Axial flow pumps can be mounted horizontally or vertically
- As they are generally purpose made there are less limits on the materials they can be manufactured from.
Where to use Axial Flow pumps
Axial flow pumps tend to be utilised in applications which require rather high flow rates and a low amount of pressure. They can be used as circulating water pumps in power plants. As well as this, they’re commonly used in the chemical industry for circulating large amounts of fluids in evaporators. Whilst being useful in flood dewatering applications where substantial quantities of water need to be moved over a short distance, for instance over a levee or dyke. Marine applications include impounding pumps for docks and ports.
