Centrifugal Pump Characteristics Curves Centrifugal pumps are designed to operate at one system condition like fixed speed, flow rate, head and fluid properties. But in actual scenarios pump operation may change or operate at different points and conditions like head and flow rate so performance may also be changed accordingly. So to predict the pump …
What is a Rotary vacuum dryer (RVD) ? Rotary vacuum dryer is a cylindrical or cone vessel integrated with jacketed or limpet coil and rotated by a hollow shaft. Basically this is used for a batch operation plant. The complete drying of the product is done by combination process of under vacuum, stirring / agitation …
Shaft Coupling Shaft coupling is a mechanical device that is used to connect two shafts of two different equipment for transmitting the power and torque. The pump shaft coupling is used with machinery to connect driver and driven equipment and compensate small amounts of misalignment, power and torque transfer. There are many types of shaft …

Fan A fan is a mechanical device which is used to transfer air from one place to another place. Fans create pressure against ducts and piping.The rotating impellers increase velocity, and then air speed Convert in to pressure.Mostly fan are used for ventilation system. As per the American Association of Mechanical Engineering (ASME) specific …
What is Blower? It is used for move process gases with moderate pressure. It also increases the velocity of process gases. Blower or fan are used for low pressure application for plants or industries whereas compressors are used for high pressure application as compared to blower. When the resistance to flow is at the downstream …
