Regenerative Turbine Pumps

In comparison to other pumps, the operating principles of a regenerative turbine pump are rather subtle. Mechanically, the regenerative turbine pump is a centrifugal pump. Turbine pumps, peripheral pumps, centrifugal regenerative pumps, regenerative pumps, and a variety of other names are all used to describe regenerative turbine pumps.

They are particularly adept at transferring fluids with high pressure, low flow, and low viscosity while dealing with entrained vapors or fluids at or near their boiling point. Most pump technologies are hampered by these fluid conditions, but regenerative turbine pumps maintain their efficiency in all pumping and fluid conditions, eliminating the damaging effects of cavitation and pulsation.

A regenerative turbine pump, on the other hand, has the performance characteristics of a positive displacement pump. A regenerative turbine pump works in the same way as a centrifugal pump to pressurize fluid. It causes the fluid to accelerate in order to convert kinetic energy to potential energy. The regenerative turbine pump differs from the centrifugal pump in that the acceleration/pressurization process is divided into dozens of steps. With each step, the fluid is slightly accelerated and slightly pressurized.
