SUBMERSIBLE PUMP

Submersible Pump Design:

A submersible pump is a pump which has a hermetically sealed motor closely coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is submerged in the fluid to be pumped.

Advantages:

The advantage of a submersible pump is that it has sufficient inlet pressure.

Application:

Used for drainage, sewage pumping, general industrial pumping and slurry pumping.
