Understanding how pumps work is crucial for effective operation. Pumps utilize mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries. The mechanical action can be categorized into two main types: positive displacement (PD) and kinetic. Positive displacement pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber, which is then forced out. Common examples include fuel and oil pumps found in vehicles, hydraulic system pumps, and even bicycle pumps.

On the other hand, kinetic pumps operate by transferring energy from the pump’s movement to the flow. They typically use an impeller to draw in the flow, add energy, and move it through a volute into the system. Centrifugal pumps, in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps are all examples of kinetic pumps used in various industrial applications.
