Pumps are used to add energy to fluids (gases, liquids, or slurries) to produce flow or increase pressure. This course discusses the construction and operation of the two most basic types of pumps: positive displacement and centrifugal. In addition to how pumps function, it is also covers some of the common terms which are used to describe pump performance.
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
“We use the Convergence Training Videos to supplement our Computer Based Training (CBT). So for I have had nothing but positive feedback from our employees. The production is very good and the information is timely and accurate!”

The following key questions are answered in this module:
What are pumps used for? Pumps are used to add energy to fluids (gases, liquids, or slurries) to produce flow or increase pressure.
What functions do pumps perform? Pumps transfer or move fluids from one area to another, recirculate fluids, such in a heating or cooling system, and provide pressure, such as in hydraulic systems.
What are the two most commonly used pump types, and how do they work? Positive displacement and centrifugal or dynamic are the two main types of pumps used. Positive displacement pumps work by capturing a given volume of fluid at the suction, and then mechanically forcing it out the discharge, and a centrifugal pump converts external mechanical energy into kinetic energy within a liquid.
What is pump capacity? the flow of liquid that a pump can generate. Pump capacity is typically expressed as gallons per minute, or GPM.
