Marine Pump

Pumps are hydraulic machines which convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. The hydraulic energy is in the form of pressure energy. Marine pumps are those pumps used in marine applications.

Types of Marine Pumps:

• Circulating pumps
• Diaphragm pumps
• Flexible Impeller pumps
• Manual diaphragm pumps
• Multipurpose centrifugal pumps

Uses and Features of Marine Pumps:

• It is designed for continuous operation.
  
  
• Marine Pumps are considered as extra heavy duty constructed pumps.
  
  
• These pumps are explosion proof pumps.
  
  
• They are mechanically sealed.



• Some models of marine pumps are directly connected to sewage line or holding tank.
  
  
• Self primed.



• Some pumps are magnetically driven.



• Designed for fresh water handling as marine water pump.



• It resists the stress produced during cavitations.



• It also resists wear due to high velocities of the impeller.



• It is easily replaced by the mounting bracket.



• It is easy to install.

Applications of Marine Pumps:
Marine Pumps are used in marine industry and other applications. They are as follows:

• Engine cooling systems
• Bilge pumping
• Deck wash
• Lavatory systems
• Transporting fuel from tank to tank
• Water circulating systems
• Marine fuel pump
• Pumping salt water, waste water, brackish water and many pollution control systems.
