Ask any pump expert and they will tell you that “high-pressure pump” is a rather broad term that includes both centrifugal and positive-displacement pumps. But what further adds to the confusion is that different companies have different definitions for a high-pressure water pump. Despite all these confusions and dilemmas the fact that underlines this discussion is that we all need to cope with the challenges presented by our everyday lives.
There are so many areas where high-pressure water pumps can make an existential difference. These areas include manufacturing, sewage, agriculture, gardening, and so forth. Here is a summary of the different types and advantages associated with high pressure pumps.
Types of High-Pressure Pumps
- Boiler Feed Pump: It is normally used for power generation. Whenever the inner rotators of this pump move, power is produced. The high-pressure steam produced in the process moves the turbine to generate power. The boiler consumes the water sent by the boiler and generates heat from the stream. Similarly, high pressure pumps help in nuclear power generation where they are used as reactor feed pumps.
- Descaling Pump: Descaling pumps are normally used in manufacturing units. They have a role in the making of large-sized complicated appliances like washing machines, refrigerators, and automobiles. Most of these appliances are products of steelworks. Here, the steel ingots are heated to a temperature of a thousand degrees centigrade to be moulded into steel plates for the manufacturing of appliances. This heating leads to the formation of oxidized scales over the plates that need to be cleared away or they will degrade the quality of the finished product. High-pressure water pumps are used to remove these scales and other impurities from the steel sheet before they are sent to rolling mills.
- Desalination Pump: Desalination pumps are mostly used in Middle East countries and all those places that face acute shortages of water. These pumps help turn seawater into freshwater. Since these pumps mostly deal with seawater, they are manufactured from corrosion-resistant high-grade stainless steel.
- Agriculture: Here, high-pressure pumps are used as centrifugal pumps. Here the rotors inside the pump draw in water at a rapid force and then throw it out with force from another outlet. Most of these pumps are used for irrigation and watering large-sized fields that need more water in less time. Apart from that, they also have been used in landscaping and gardening on a medium to large scale area.
