Single suction pump manufacturer: The difference between single suction pump and double suction pump.


What is the difference between a single suction pump and a double suction pump? By reading this article, we will have a clearer understanding of this issue. A single suction pump means that the impeller has only one side for water intake, while a double suction pump means that the impeller has water intake on both sides, i.e., two inlets. With the same diameter, the flow difference between the two is not significant. We choose whether to introduce one or two based on the requirements of on-site use. A single suction pump refers to the suction at the inlet and discharge at the outlet; it is a type of pump. A single suction pump is short for a single-stage single-suction centrifugal pump, which is a common type of centrifugal pump. Double suction pumps have a larger diameter and are widely used in industry.

First, a double suction pump mainly draws in the medium from both ends of the impeller, with a sealing chamber on each side of the impeller. It replaces pumps with two suction inlets. The anti-cavitation capability of a double suction pump is stronger than that of a single suction pump. Since the medium is drawn in from both ends of the impeller, it creates hydraulic symmetry, making the axial thrust balance of a double suction pump superior to that of a single suction pump, resulting in smoother operation. Additionally, the flow velocity of the medium is lower, making it less likely for cavitation to occur in the impeller. However, a double suction pump has an additional sealing chamber compared to a single suction pump, so its cost is relatively higher.

Secondly, double suction pumps are more suitable for transporting large flow rates and require stable operation. When the flow rate of the pump is very large, if it is a single suction pump, the inlet and outlet diameters must be very large, and the rotational speed cannot be too high; it should be stable around 1450 rpm. If using a double suction pump, it can relatively reduce the size and weight of the pump, increase rotational speed, and improve volumetric efficiency.
