Centrifugal Pump Centrifugal pump is a kind of pump to  deliver the liquid by  centrifugal force  generated by  the rotation of the impeller, which  is used for transporting drilling mud. It can be used as feeding pump for desander, desilter,  or as mixing pump for jet mud mixer. The centrifugal pump also called as the  sand pump, it  can also be used as trip pump and supercharging pump for rig mud pump. Centrifugal pump Like most pumps, a centrifugal pump converts rotational energy, often from a motor, to energy in a moving fluid. A portion of the energy goes into kinetic energy of the fluid. Fluid enters axially through eye of the casing, is caught up in the impeller blades, and is whirled tangentially and radially outward until it leaves through all circumferential parts of the impeller into the diffuser part of the casing. The fluid gains both velocity and pressure while passing through the impeller. The doughnut-shaped diffuser, or...
