Pressure Axial-Flow Pumps

The horizontal pumps (horizontal shaft) have impeller wheels with a shroud or shrouds essentially at right angles to the shaft axis. The same construction may be used in vertical pumps where the shaft is held in an upright position. The term radial flow is applied to the impeller blading of either of the foregoing types.

Axial flow pumps differ from radial flow pumps in that they have an impeller (or propeller) in which the direction of liquid flow and its forward component of velocity are parallel to the axis of the shaft upon which the rotating element is mounted as in the vertical unit. Axial flow design is also employed with horizontal pumps.
Mixed-flow pumps have impellers which discharge the material handled in a direction intermediate between those of radial and axial flow units. Both axial flow and mixed flow impellers are built with only the open-type of construction.
