[News & Trends]:The difference and characteristics between centrifugal and through flow

Centrifuge and cross flow are two common mechanical equipment widely used in industrial production. They have some obvious differences and characteristics in principle, structure, and working mode. A deep understanding of the difference between centrifugal and through flow is crucial for the correct selection and use of these two types of equipment. This article will provide a detailed introduction to centrifugal and through flow from three aspects: principle, structure, and scope of application


In principle, there is a certain difference between the principles of centrifugal and through flow motion. The working principle of centrifugal equipment is to transport fluids through the pressure difference generated by centrifugal force. The effect of centrifugal force causes fluid to circulate within the equipment, thereby achieving the purpose of transportation. And the flow equipment works by utilizing the difference in positive pressure, continuously compressing and expanding the fluid through spiral impellers, achieving fluid transportation


From a structural perspective, there are also some differences in the structure of centrifugal and through flow equipment. Centrifugal equipment usually consists of two main components: inlet and outlet. The inlet is equipped with an impeller, which drives the equipment to generate centrifugal force by rotating the impeller at high speed. The through flow equipment consists of a spiral impeller and a peripheral guide vane ring, and the fluid completes a continuous compression and expansion process under the action of the impeller and guide vanes. The structural forms of the two devices result in differences in their working principles and applicable scenarios


There are also some differences in the applicable range between centrifugal and through flow equipment. Centrifugal equipment is suitable for conveying pure liquids and gases, and is widely used in water supply, drainage, steam supply and exhaust, cooling circulation, and air conditioning systems. And through flow equipment is mainly suitable for conveying liquids containing particles or fibers, such as sewage pumps, sludge pumps, etc. Choosing appropriate centrifugal or flow equipment based on different usage environments and work requirements is of great significance for improving work efficiency and extending equipment life


In summary, centrifugal and through flow are two common mechanical equipment, which have some differences in principle, structure, and applicability. Understanding these differences and characteristics is crucial for the correct selection and use of these two devices. I hope this article can help readers better understand centrifugal and flow equipment, and maximize their benefits in practical applications.
