Classification of Pumps

Classification of Pumps Points : Classification of Pumps, Types of Pumps On the source of transfer of mechanical energy, pumps can be classify as: 1) Positive displacement pumps: In positive displacement pumps, fluid is sucked and actually displaced by a piston/plunger to reciprocates in a cylinder. The quantity of fluid pump is equal to volume displaced through a piston. A usual exemplar of positive displacement pump is a reciprocating pump.
