The vitality of a product lies in market demand. The current market demand precisely requires products to have their own unique characteristics and stand out from the rest; it is precisely this that has led to the trend of product diversification in the pump industry. Its diversity is mainly reflected in the variety of media transported by the pumps, the differences in product structures, and the variations in operating requirements, among other aspects.
From the perspective of the diversity of the transported media, the early pumps were designed to transport only water and other fluid, gaseous or slurry substances. Now, they can transport mixtures of solids and liquids, gas-liquid mixtures, solid-liquid-gas mixtures, and even living objects such as potatoes and fish. The internal structure requirements of the pumps vary depending on the different transported objects.
Apart from the different requirements of the delivery objects for the pump's structure, new demands are also imposed on the pump's internal or external structure in terms of its installation form, pipeline layout, maintenance and repair. Meanwhile, each manufacturer incorporates their own enterprise philosophy in the design of the pump structure, further enhancing the diversity of the pump structure.
Based on the overall background of sustainable development and environmental protection, the operating environment of the pump imposes numerous requirements on the design of the pump. For instance, reducing leakage, lowering noise and vibration, increasing reliability, and extending service life all require different focuses or multiple focuses to be considered, and this inevitably leads to the diversification of pump forms.
