HYDRODYNAMIC PUMPS
Carries fluid from one location to another,
relatively at low pressure (17-21 bar).
Generally used for low pressure, highvolume, flow applications.
These pumps are not self-priming, as there
is a great deal of clearance between the
rotating and stationary elements.
Cannot create enough vacuum at its inlet,
hence discharge rate is low.
Examples..
a) Centrifugal pumps
b) Axial flow propeller pump.
These pumps are called as non-positive
displacement pumps.
Hydrostatic pumps
Hydrostatic pumps uses fluid pressure to
transmit power.
These pumps have very close-fitting
mating components and hence a very
small amount of leakage could occur.
These pumps may be either..
a) Fixed displacement
b) Variable displacement
These pumps requires protection against
over pressure if the resistance to flow
becomes very large or infinite, so pressure
relief valve is provided.
It is also called as positive displacement
pumps.

APPLICATIONS OF PDP
PD pumps are found in a wide range of
application
chemical-processing
liquid delivery
marine
biotechnology
pharmaceutical
as well as food, dairy, and beverage
processing.
Their versatility and popularity is due in
part to their relatively compact design, highviscosity performance, continuous flow
regardless of differential pressure, and
