Channel Impeller Pump
The channel impeller has similarities with centrifugal pump but rather than having a volute, there is a channel in the housing for the water to flow around. The inlet is then offset from the centre. This type of pump handles particles in the fluid flow better than some other types and are thus often used for wastewater applications.
Learning outcomes
• Understanding pump performance
• Creating characteristic curves from experimental data
• Investigating, analysing and comparing the characteristics of different pump types (if more than one pump is purchased).
