A pump is used to move liquids, gases or sludge aboard ship. NauticExpo offers a wide range of pumps: vacuum pumps for heads, transfer pumps, centrifugal pumps, ballast pumps, etc.
Pumps are used in a wide range of applications, including in heads, to transfer fuel, water, oil, etc.
Pumps operate in different ways. A centrifugal pump uses a rotating impeller to increase the speed of the liquid that arrives on the intake side and expel it radially, creating pressure on the downstream side. Positive displacement pumps, whether of constant or variable volume, use cyclical movements to draw in and expel the liquid.
Choice will depend on the characteristics of the fluid to be handled. Flow rate is another important consideration.
