Q. What are different types of centrifugal pumps?

Answer

The major centrifugal pump variations include Radial and Axial centrifugal pumps. The striking difference between a radial and an axial centrifugal pump is in their orientation. By design, a radial centrifugal pump permits an outward motion of the liquid channeled through it. The pumped liquid is pressurized and exited through downstream piping. By comparison, axial pumps on the other hand generate fluid motion via a lifting effect of their impeller vanes.
