What is Multistage Pump?

A multistage pump is a pump in which the fluid flows through two or more impellers fitted in series. Hence, such a pump will have multiple liquid chambers or stages connected in series. Each stage consists of an impeller, a combination of a diffuser, and return guide vanes, all housed within the same stage casing.

Benefits of Multistage Pump

High efficiency
Multistage pumps are renowned for their exceptional efficiency. They are designed to handle high-pressure applications, and by using multiple impellers in series, they can achieve this while maintaining energy efficiency. These pumps can effectively move fluids over long distances with minimal energy consumption, reducing operational costs for various industries.

Versatility
Multistage pumps are versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications. They are commonly employed for water supply systems, agriculture, wastewater treatment, and industrial processes. Their ability to handle various fluids and pressures makes them a valuable asset in many industries.

Increased pressure
One of the primary advantages of multistage pumps is their capability to boost pressure significantly. They can take low-pressure fluids and elevate them to the desired level, making them ideal for applications where high-pressure delivery is essential. Industries like oil and gas, chemical, and power generation often rely on multistage pumps to overcome the limitations of low-pressure sources.

Enhanced reliability
Multistage pumps are known for their reliability. They are built with robust materials and construction techniques, making them resistant to wear and tear. This reliability ensures that the pumps have a longer service life and require less maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.

Space efficiency
Compared to their single-stage counterparts, multistage pumps are more space-efficient. Their compact design allows them to deliver high pressure without the need for large, bulky equipment. This is particularly advantageous in applications where space is limited, such as offshore drilling platforms or compact industrial facilities.

Reduced cavitation risk
Cavitation is a common problem in fluid handling systems where rapid pressure changes can cause vapor bubbles to form and collapse, leading to damage to the pump and reduced efficiency. Multistage pumps, due to their design, are less prone to cavitation, making them a reliable choice for applications with variable pressure requirements.

Application of Multistage Pump

A multistage pump finds applications across a varied range of industry verticals requiring the movement of fluids. For example, High-rise buildings require higher pressure to deliver water to their overhead tanks. Multistage pumps are widely used for such applications. They are also often used to either boost the water system’s pressure or continuously circulate water in the system.

Other key applications include:

High-pressure cleaning

Irrigation

Reverse osmosis (RO)

Fuel delivery

Oil and gas production

Mining

Boiler feeder pumps in power plants

Pressurizing water to help with firefighting

Pressurizing water to make snow for use in sports and resorts

Components of Multistage Pump

Impellers: Impellers are rotating components with vanes that impart velocity to the fluid. Multiple impellers mounted along the pump shaft provide the staged velocity increase.

Diffusers: Diffusers are stationary components that convert the velocity imparted by the impellers into pressure. They have an expanding passage that slows the fluid.

Shaft: The shaft connects and drives all the impellers. It rotates at high speeds to turn the impellers.

Casing

The casing houses all the internal components. It has separate chambers for the different stages.

Bearings

Bearings support the shaft and allow smooth rotation. Thrust bearings handle axial forces in the shaft.

Seals

Seals prevent leakage along the shaft and casing. They ensure efficiency and safety.

Suction and discharge nozzles

Nozzles are inlet and outlet points for the fluid to enter and exit the pump.

Process of Multistage Pump

1.Before starting the pump, the rotor should be turned to check whether the rotor is flexible.

2.Check whether the rotation of the motor is consistent with the rotation of the pump.

3.Close the pump outlet gate valve and pressure gauge cock, and use the conveyed liquid or vacuum system to remove the air in the suction pipe and the pump body (it is strictly forbidden to start operation when empty).

4.Check the tightness of the connecting bolts between the pump and the motor and the safety conditions around the pump, so that the pump is ready to start.

Warning: The equipment can only be operated after the coupling guard is installed. Ignoring this point may cause casualties.

5.Start the pump. After the pump runs normally, open the pressure gauge cock, slowly open the outlet gate valve, and control the given head of the pump according to the reading of the outlet pressure gauge.

How to Maintain Multistage Pump

1.Check the multistage pump pipeline and joints for looseness. Turn the multistage pump by hand to see if the multistage pump is flexible.

2.Add bearing lubricating oil to the bearing body, observe that the oil level should be at the center line of the oil mark, and the lubricating oil should be replaced or replenished in time.

3.Unscrew the water diversion screw plug of the pump body of the multistage pump, and pour water diversion (or slurry).

4.Close the gate valve, outlet pressure gauge and inlet vacuum gauge of the water outlet pipeline.

5.Jog the motor to see if the rotation direction of the motor is correct.

6.If the multistage pump is out of service for a long time, it is necessary to disassemble all the pumps, wipe off the water, and coat the rotating parts and joints with grease and install them.

7.Try to control the flow and head of the multistage pump within the range indicated on the label to ensure that the multistage pump runs at the highest efficiency point in order to obtain the greatest energy saving effect.

8.During the operation of the multistage pump, the bearing temperature should not exceed the ambient temperature of 35C, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 80C.

9.If abnormal sound is found in the multistage pump, stop and check the cause immediately.

10.When the multistage pump wants to stop using, first close the gate valve and pressure gauge, and then stop the motor.

11.During the first month of operation, the multistage pump should change the lubricating oil after 100 hours, and then change the oil once every 500 hours.

12.Multistage pumps frequently adjust the packing gland to ensure normal dripping in the packing chamber (it is better to leak out as drips).

13.Regularly check the wear of the shaft sleeve of the multistage pump, and replace it in time when the wear is large.

14.When the multistage pump is used in the cold winter, after stopping, unscrew the water drain plug at the bottom of the pump body to drain the medium. Prevent freezing and cracking.

15.Turn on the motor. When the multistage pump runs normally, turn on the outlet pressure gauge and the inlet vacuum pump, and then gradually open the gate valve and check the motor load.

What Is the Difference Between a Vertical Multistage Pump and a Horizontal Multistage Pump?

The main differences between a vertical multi stage pump and a horizontal multi stage pump are;

●The orientation of the pump

●The vertical multi stage pump is above ground and may be used where there are space limitations however the motor needs to be removed before maintenance can be performed.

●Vertical multi stage pumps are used in some applications where the motor needs to be lifted from the sump so that the unit can be maintained. It is common in vertical pumps for the thrust load to be taken by the motor e.g. VTP turbine pumps which have electric motors specifically designed for this type of pump to eliminate the need for a thrust bearing in the pump resulting in less complexity and costs. VTP pumps can be produced with column lengths of more than 100 metres.

●Horizontal multi stage pumps are mounted using feet which for high temperature applications are a special design to allow for thermal growth and thus avoid operating issues due to expansion and contraction. They would need to be aligned with the electric motor. On vertical pumps, the mounting is perhaps simpler i.e for sump pumps, a support plate would be fixed with standard bolting and generally no alignment is required as the motor is flanged and it is self aligning with the corresponding register.

Multistage Pump Working Principle

Impellers within such designs are mounted in Ring Sections along the shaft with each ring section consisting of an Impeller, with a suction casing on one side, and discharge casing / diffuser on the other.

The impeller draws fluid in through the suction casing, to the outside of the impeller before being discharged through the discharge casing, which will then enter another ring section repeatedly until the fluid discharges through the outlet.

The ring sections are held together with tie bolts which run along the casing. Internal designs varying for shaft seals and bearings being on one end of the pump, or both dependent on duty and application.

When stages of impellers are added the flow rate is not altered but the total head and shaft power increases proportionally to the number of stages. Each stages consists of an impeller and diffuser.

Models can be constructed either vertically or horizontally depending on whether designs are required which are space saving, or which can be maintained in situ without removal of the motor.

What Is the Difference Between a Single and a Multistage Centrifugal Pump?

The main difference between a single-stage and a multistage centrifugal pump lies in the number of impellers they contain:

Single-stage centrifugal pump:

A single-stage centrifugal pump has only one impeller mounted on the shaft. The impeller is responsible for imparting energy to the fluid and increasing its velocity. This type of pump is typically used for low to moderate pressure applications where a relatively small increase in fluid pressure is required.

Multistage centrifugal pump

A multistage centrifugal pump, as the name suggests, consists of multiple impellers arranged in series along the pump shaft. Each impeller is called a stage, and each stage adds energy to the fluid, gradually increasing its pressure. The discharge of one impeller becomes the suction of the next, resulting in a cumulative pressure boost. Multistage centrifugal pumps are commonly employed in high-pressure applications where a significant increase in fluid pressure is needed.

FAQ

Q: What is difference between single stage and multistage pump?

A: As the name implies, single-stage pumps have only one impeller, whereas multistage pumps have at least two. A centrifugal pump's impeller is what pressurizes and transfers the liquid. Because multistage pumps have multiple impellers, their pressure ranges and flow rates are far superior.

Q: What is the difference between single stage and double stage pump?

A: A single stage pump operates on one pressure head, while a double stage pump has two pressure heads. The main advantage of a double stage pump is that it can handle greater pressures than a single stage pump. Additionally, a double stage pump can operate at higher speeds than a single stage pump.

Q: What is an example of a multistage pump?

A: A typical example would be the pipeline pump. Multistage pumps are an economic means of covering the higher pressure ranges of pump series selection charts Further advantages are that multistage pumps can easily be tapped downstream of a stage or that dummy stages can be fitted for future pressure increases.

Q: Why do we need multistage compressor instead of single stage?

A: Better energy efficiency: Multi-stage compressors are more energy efficient than single-stage models (improved volumetric efficiency). With two or more stages of compression, the compressor does not need to work as hard to generate the same pressure. That translates to lower energy bills.

Q: Is a multistage pump a centrifugal pump?

A: A centrifugal pump is a type of pump that uses a rotating impeller to create a centrifugal force and move fluid through a pipeline. A multi-stage pump, on the other hand, is a pump that has multiple impellers and stages to increase the pressure and flow rate of the fluid being pumped.

Q: How do you start a multistage pump?

A: Check before start multistage pump. b) Open the suction valve of the pump and the valve of the water sealing water line, and perform water injection or vacuum to fill the pump with liquid. c) Start the motor. Then gradually open the gate valve of the discharge pipe to make the pump in the state of water discharge.

Q: What is the difference between a jet pump and a multistage pump?

A: Multistage pressure pumps are generally more expensive than jet pumps, however are known to be quieter, are more energy effiicient and create greater pressure for larger homes with more outlets or for irrigation.

Q: Which pump must always be primed?

A: Centrifugal pumps
In short, to avoid failures, centrifugal pumps must always be primed before operating. Positive displacement pumps are self-priming with suction lift capability, but always check the operation manual or confer with an engineer to ensure the pump will properly function at start up without priming first.

Q: How do I know if my pump is self-priming?

A: In comparison to a standard centrifugal pump, what's notable in the design of a self-priming centrifugal pump is that it features a liquid reservoir built into the body of the pump, typically either above or in front of the impeller.

Q: Which pump does not need priming?

A: Priming is necessary to be done. If not done then pump impeller will come in contact with water and air bubbles both during operation and it may cause cavitation or it is possible that fluid will not get transported at all. Reciprocating pumps remove air in them during first part of stroke so no priming needed.

Q: What is CFM stand for?

A: Cubic feet per minute
CFM stands for cubic feet per minute. Also referred to as airflow, the CFM is how much air a fan moves. When the ceiling fan is at its highest speed, the measurement is taken using both the volume of air and the rate at which it moves.

Q: Where is multistage compressor used?

A: In a multi stage air compressor, compression of air takes place in more than one cylinder. Multi stage air compressor is used in places where high pressure air is required. Fig. shows the general arrangement of a two-stage air compressor.

Q: What is the point of multistage compression?

A: Multistage Compressors are Energy Efficient: They compress air step by step, cooling it down between each stage. This process reduces the energy consumption, making them more energy-efficient than single-stage compressors.

Q: Why use multistage centrifugal pump?

A: These pumps have the unique ability to produce higher and higher pressures with the addition of every stage, but the flow range always remains constant for a given rpm. Thus, Multistage are series connection hence discharge remains constant while the head increases.

Q: How do multi stage centrifugal pumps work?

A: Multistage centrifugal pumps have multiple liquid chambers (or stages) that are connected in series. Fluid enters the first chamber at suction line pressure and leaves at some elevated pressure. Upon leaving the first stage, the fluid enters the second stage where the pressure is increased further.

Q: How many impellers are in a multistage pump?

A: A multistage pump is a type of pump which contains 2 or more impellers which may be of the same or different types i.e low NPSH suction impeller, double suction impeller or combination with Centrifugal first stage and side channel stage impellers.

Q: What is the main advantage of a multistage pump over a single stage pump?

A: Since a multi-stage pump builds the load by relying on multiple impellers to distribute the pressure of the pump, it can produce more power and higher pressure with a smaller motor and is therefore more energy efficient.

Q: What is the common application of multistage pump?

A: Explanation: The most common application of multistage centrifugal pump is boiler feed water pump. Explanation: A multistage centrifugal pump produces a pressure of 21 MPa. A multistage centrifugal pump has more than two impellers. The multistage centrifugal is similar to the centrifugal pumps working.

Q: What is the pressure ratio for a multi stage compressor?

A: Study the performance of complex gas turbine cycles with multistage compression. They determined that the optimum pressure ratios are in an acceptable range, between 8.1 and 23.1 for the maximum power and between 17.4 and 32.2 for the maximum thermal efficiency.

Q: What is the most commonly used pump in the water industry?

A: Centrifugal industrial water pumps
Centrifugal industrial water pumps are the most commonly used pumps and are found in a variety of industries. They are usually cost-effective, and their simplistic design requires very few moving parts. These types of pumps are designed to be consistent and typically don't require much in the way of maintenance.
