Therefore, electric driven pumps create very great interest in many industries due to their numerous advantages over traditional pump sets powered by combustion engines. As the demand for efficient and sustainable solutions grows, electric pumps excel in energy efficiency, using less power while offering the required performance.
What are electric driven pumps?
These are devices designed to move liquids like water, and oil, among other fluids, from one point to another easily. The pumps do so through the power of an electric motor that can create the required force that makes the liquids reach the intended destination; this way, they are very effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly.
Types
Some of the common ones are:
- Centrifugal Pumps: The most common type, as they are efficient and versatile for all applications.
- Positive displacement pumps: These pumps deliver liquid at a constant flow rate.
- Submersible pumps: They are designed to be submerged within the liquid being pumped.
- Vertical multistage pumps: They are applied in cases of high pressures and limited space.
- Diaphragm pumps: They are used for the pumping of viscous or abrasive fluids.
Components
- Electric Motor: This provides the required power to run the pump.
- Pump head: It is the containing for the impeller and related parts.
- Impeller: This part is responsible for the suction and pressure that happen when it rotates.
- Shaft: This couples the motor to the impeller.
- Volute: Receives liquid being transferred from the impeller, then it directs it towards the discharge outlet.
Several industries and applications
Some of the common applications include:
Oil and Gas Industry
- Crude Oil Pumping: The process of pumping crude oil is necessary for transference from well locations to a refinery.
- Water Flooding: The act of injecting water into an oil reservoir to increase oil recovery.
- Water Injection: It helps to maintain the reservoir pressure and enhance oil extraction rates.
- Water Disposal: Manages the disposal of produced water and other waste fluids.
Water Treatment
- Water Treatment Facilities: Critical to the management and treatment of water supplies to guarantee safe drinking water.
Agriculture
- Irrigation: Facilitates efficient watering of crops and agricultural land.
- Livestock Watering: It offers dependable watering to livestock.
- Industrial Applications
Industrial Applications
- Chemical Handling: It is used to carry and manage all kinds of chemicals without considering abrasion.
- Mining: It is used in mining dewatering and slurry transportation applications
Advantages of using electric driven pumps
- Electric driven pumps convert over 70% of electrical energy into mechanical power reducing energy waste compared to diesel pumps.
- Unlike diesel-driven pumps, electrical pumps are cost-effective
- Fewer moving parts, and no fuel filters or spark plugs, reduce maintenance costs and lower downtime for electric pumps
- Electric pumps are much quieter, making them fit for residential and noise-sensitive areas.
- Zero emission and reduced risk of spilling of fuels, ensuring cleaner operations for electric pumps.
- Small and light electric motors allow easier installation and transportation.
- Flammable fuels and exhaust fumes are eliminated, making the operation much safer with electric pumps.
Considerations while choosing the electric driven pumps
- Flow Rate: The minimum flow rate is to be calculated so that the pump can easily meet the fluid volume requirements of the application.
- Pressure Requirements: Determine how much pressure is needed for your application, and choose a pump that provides it.
- Power Supply: Check whether power availability will be there and what electrical power type is required to be provided by the pump in terms of voltage or phase.
- Efficiency: look for high-energy efficiency pumps to help cut down on their operational costs.
- Application Type: Be certain about whether this pump will be appropriate for the particular type of fluid it has to handle and the environment in which it is to be used.
- Material Compatibility: Choose a pump that has the right material construction so that the fluid in use doesn’t corrode or erode the pump.
- Dimensional weight: Check that the size and weight of the pump suit the area of installation.
