RS PRO 12 V 380mbar Direct Coupling Water Pump, 2.8 L/min

A Water Pump is a mechanical device that can circulate water or raise it from one level to another. Water Pumps draw existing water into the Pump by suction through an inlet point. The inlet point has a lower rate of pressure than the outlet points. A water pump increases the rate of water to create a vacuum. At this time, the outlet point has a high-pressure level which forces out the water. The impeller plays first fiddle in the entire process as the action of the part increases the fluid's velocity and pressure towards the Pump outlet.

There are a few types of Water Pumps currently available on the market, including Submersible Pumps, Irrigation Pumps and Circulation Pumps. Quite often the categorisation focuses on Self-Priming Pumps, Centrifugal Pumps and Underwater Pumps.

Centrifugal Pumps have their place in many life situations, such as when pumping water, organics, acids, solvents, agricultural or domestic applications. There are even individual Centrifugal Pumps that can deal with claims involving low viscosity fluids.

We are proudly introducing our own branded RS PRO Centrifugal Pump with a maximum flow rate of 2.6 litres per minute. This high-quality Pump for liquids is ideal for general applications, including research and development, medical, aeronautical industries or portable equipment. The Pump uses the centrifugal principle to deliver smooth pulseless flow. Our Centrifugal Pump is characterising of exceptionally quiet and relivable with a brushless drive motor. Optionally, a signal output wire can provide information status about pump speed/output. Centrifugal Pump Work complies to an IP rating of 44 meaning protection from dust ingress along with water spray less than 15 degrees from vertical. The body material of aluminium can handle maximum fluid temperature around + 120°C, whereas maximum working pressure is 324 mbar (millibar pressure unit) commonly used parameter in European countries.

On average, the lifetime of the Centrifugal Pump is approximately 15 years having in mind that internal parts are under regular maintenance. Energy consumption represents about 90% of the total life cycle cost.

RS Pro is our family brand to go-to and brings you a wide range of high-quality and high-value products to support your project. Trusted by engineers all over the world, every part of every RS PRO product is always rigorously tested against demanding industry standards.
