SIDE CHANNEL PUMP

Side Channel Pump Design:

A Side Channel Pump has rotating vanes combined with a side channel that enhance the transfer of energy into the fluid via secondary vortices.

Advantages:

High head coefficient.

Application:

fluid transfer, e.g. fuel pumps.

Side Channel Pump Cavitation
Side Channel Pump Pressure

PumpLinx: Solve Flows, Pressures, Cavitation, and Loads:
