Endsuctionkonfiguration
Endsuctionkonfiguration, commonly referred to as end-suction configuration, describes a centrifugal pump arrangement in which the suction port is located at the end of the pump housing and the discharge outlet is typically on the top or the opposite side. This is one of the most widely used pump configurations for horizontal, single-stage or multistage pumps used in general service.
In this configuration, the flow enters the impeller axially through the end-mounted suction nozzle, is accelerated
Advantages of endsuction pumps include a simple and robust design, relatively low initial cost, compact footprint,
Key design considerations involve ensuring adequate Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH), proper priming where required, and
