Centrifugal Pump:<\/strong> The main pump that requires priming before operation. \u00a0 <\/a>1. PRIMING THE PUMP – Waterous Co <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>www.waterousco.com<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Priming Pump:<\/strong> A smaller, positive displacement pump (often a diaphragm or vane pump) used to create a vacuum and draw fluid into the centrifugal pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drive Mechanism:<\/strong> A mechanism, typically a belt and pulley system or a direct coupling, to transfer rotational energy from the centrifugal pump’s shaft to the priming pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Separator\/Reservoir:<\/strong> A chamber where air and fluid are separated, allowing the air to be expelled and the fluid to be returned to the centrifugal pump’s suction side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check Valves:<\/strong> Check valves are strategically placed to control the direction of flow and prevent backflow during the priming process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piping and Connections:<\/strong> Pipes connect the various components of the system, and valves control the flow during priming and normal operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
