Self Priming Pumps

Self-priming pump that can use an air-water mixture to reach a fully-primed pumping condition. Self-priming pumps have to be capable of evacuating air from the pump suction line without any external auxiliary devices. Centrifugal pumps with an internal suction stage such as water jet pumps or side channel pumps are also classified as self-priming pumps.

Different types of Self-priming pumps

• Self-priming centrifugal pump, 
• Self-priming chemical pump, 
• Self-priming water pump. 
• Seal-less self-priming pumps are also available. A self-priming centrifugal pump can pump gas, liquid, or combination of a liquid and gas.

Self-priming pumps are required if a pump has to be located above the level of the liquid to be pumped. A self-priming pump must be efficient to move out air from the suction line, thereby drawing liquid into the pump. When this has been attaining, the pump can return to its normal pumping mode.

Features of self-priming pumps

• Fairly large solid inclusions are admissible
• The theoretical possibility of impeller grinding
• Easy access to the impeller for inspection
• Simple design and only one moving element - an impeller

Self Priming Pumps uses an air and water mixture in order to reach its fully primed state. While called a self-priming pump, it is actually a centrifugal jet pump working principle. Mixed together in the water reservoir by the impeller, the air will eventually rise, leaving the water to sink in the casing.

There are several advantages of Self-priming pumps

• Self-priming pumps can handle solids up to 3 inches.
• Self-priming pumps are free from regular maintenance and cost-effective and when compared to a submersible pump, is its ability to continue pumping fluid while the pump is still situated out of the pit.

Self-priming pumps need fluid in the casing to get started. Running dry, even for a short while, will cause damage to the mechanical seal, and pump failure. Once the pump is turned on, the impeller begins to turn in a counter-clockwise rotation.

A self-priming pump to enlarge water pressure in the house comes with a capacity to pump sufficient gas to “suck” the liquid through the impeller.
Priming is a procedure that involves filling the pump with liquid before it operates. 
It is done so that the centrifugal pump operates without any problem.

Self-priming pumps are mainly divided into the following types:

• positive displacement pumps,
• vortex pumps,
• liquid ring,
• centrifugal,
• ejector pumps (with an internal or external ejector).
