    Performance Test of A Non-Positive Displacement Pump

    Uploaded by

    BOSS Baby
    This document compares positive and non-positive displacement pumps. Non-positive displacement pumps, such as centrifugal and propeller pumps, have variable flow that decreases with increased pressure, while positive displacement pumps have constant flow. Positive displacement pumps are better for higher pressure applications up to 800 bar, while non-positive displacement pumps generally operate below 20 bar. The efficiency of positive displacement pumps increases with pressure and viscosity, while the efficiency of non-positive displacement pumps peaks at a certain pressure and decreases with higher viscosity.

    Performance Test of a

    Non-Positive
    Displacement Pump
    Non-Positive Displacement Pump
    • Non positive displacement pump are also known as
    hydro dynamic pump.
    • Centrifugal pumps and propeller pumps are the best
    example of non positive displacement pump. In case of
    Non positive displacement pump, Flow is not constant
    but also it varies with variation in pressure. Output
    flow will be decreased when system pressure will be
    increased. Such types of pumps are also called as
    constant head pumps as head of such pumps will be
    constant.
    • Non positive displacement pumps are considerably
    used in chemical and oil industries where liquids are
    required to transport from one location to other.

    Positive Displacement Pump


    Positive displacement pumps are self priming because
    there will be very close clearance between rotary and
    stationary components of pump. Such types of pumps
    are basically designed for higher pressure application
    for example hydraulic fluid power application.
    Pressure
    • Positive displacement pumps work for high pressure
    applications, pressure might be upto 800 bar. Non-
    positive displacement pumps are basically used for
    low pressure applications and are designed to work for
    a maximum pressure of 18 to 20 bar.
    Efficiency
    • In positive displacement pumps, efficiency increases
    with increasing pressure. Whereas in non-positive
    displacement pumps, efficiency peaks at best-
    efficiency-point. At higher or lower pressures,
    efficiency decreases.
    Viscosity
    • In positive displacement pumps, efficiency increases
    with increasing viscosity. On the other hand, efficiency
    of non-displacement pumps decreases with increasing
    viscosity due to frictional losses inside the pump.
    Performance
    • Flow is constant with changing pressure in a positive
    displacement pump whereas Flow varies with
    changing pressure in a non-positive displacement
    pump.
