What Is a Regenerative Turbine Pump?
A regenerative turbine pump is a device designed to effectively convert kinetic energy into hydraulic energy, facilitating the movement of fluid in a uniform direction.
This pump features a turbine mechanism that spins in response to fluid flowing at high velocities and a pump section that harnesses this rotational energy to intake fluid. Initially, fluid is propelled through the turbine’s blades at a significant speed, instigating the turbine’s rotation. The energy generated by this rotation is conveyed directly to the pump’s impeller, which is responsible for drawing the fluid into the system. As the fluid travels through the pump, it undergoes a pressure increase, enabling its transport to the desired destination.
Highlighted for its capacity to recycle energy and move fluid efficiently, the regenerative turbine pump is pivotal in applications requiring the effective transportation of substantial volumes of liquid, such as in hydroelectric installations and water treatment facilities.
