Pumping systems are mechanical setups designed to move fluids from one location to another. They typically consist of a pump, which creates pressure to push the fluid, and a network of pipes that directs the flow. These systems are commonly used in various applications, including water supply, irrigation, and industrial processes. The efficiency of a pumping system depends on factors such as pump design, fluid properties, and system layout. Proper maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Common types of pumps include centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps, each suited for different fluid characteristics and flow requirements.
