    摘要: A pump for processing molten metal having an enlarged tubular body which houses a centrifugal lifting pump at its bottom end. The bottom end has a curved shape that aids in the formation and sustainability of: a) a forced vortex; b) a highly forced vortex; and c) a super forced vortex, depending on the application when it which receives the ejected molten metal from the lifting pump's impeller. The lifting pump is controlled to cause the vortex to climb up the inner wall of the body up to and out of an outlet formed in the upper end of the body. A recirculation centrifugal pump is mounted coaxially to and rotates with the lifting impeller.

    摘要: A centrifugal pump comprises a pump assembly, through which a fluid can be impelled. The pump assembly includes a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a fluid casing, and an impellor positioned within the fluid casing, the impellor being driven by a power source and being operable to generate fluid flow within the fluid casing from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet. The pump assembly also includes a volute area formed on a periphery of the fluid casing, the volute area being operable to receive fluid pressurized by flow induced by the impellor. A pitot tube is positioned within the volute area, the pitot tube being operable to receive pressurized fluid from the volute area and pass the fluid through an outlet having an expanding geometry that increases the flow rate of the fluid as it passes through the outlet.

    摘要: A centrifugal pump has an electric motor, an impeller driven by the motor and a spiral volute. The impeller has an annular base plate and a plurality of vanes arranged on the base plate. The spiral volute has an inlet, an outlet and an impeller chamber in which the impeller is disposed. The inlet extends outwardly from a top wall of the volute. The outlet extends outwardly from a side wall of the volute in the spiral direction of the volute. The spiral volute has a wrap angle between 360 to 460 degrees. A washing apparatus incorporating the centrifugal pump is also provided.
