Seawater pumps are used to transport or circulate seawater or saltwater. Also called a seawater pump. They are widely used in a variety of standard service applications onboard ships. And usually, it's a centrifugal water pump.
Seawater pumps are the type of marine pump commonly used for marine or vessel drainage work. Marine pumps or seawater pumps are usually centrifugal pumps because centrifugal pumps are efficient for drainage or water circulation applications. The efficiency of the centrifugal pump in such work is mainly related to how the machine works.
Features:
- The structure and mechanism of the centrifugal pump are simple compared to other types of pumps.
- It uses the kinetic energy of the motor to move the liquid.
- It does not require as many moving parts or valves as other types of pumps.
- Maintenance is easy, even at high speeds.
- Seawater pumps do not suck to move water, so they have no suction power. Therefore, this pump must be submerged in water or pre-filled with water before operation. This property makes it suitable for use in water. Thus, centrifugal pumps are ideal for seawater pumps.
