What type of turbine pump is commonly used as a booster pump?

The commonly used type of turbine pump for booster applications is the can turbine pump. Can turbine pumps are designed with a vertical configuration and feature a submerged impeller that is capable of handling higher pressures and meets the requirements for boosting water flow effectively.

In applications where increased pressure or flow is needed, such as in water distribution systems or in irrigation, can turbine pumps efficiently move fluid through a system. They have the ability to lift water from significant depths and provide the necessary pressure increase to ensure efficient water delivery to service points or systems. Their design allows them to operate in a submerged condition, which enhances their reliability and performance in various applications.

Submersible pumps also serve specific applications, often for dewatering or drainage, and are different in terms of design and function compared to can turbine pumps. The vertical turbine is a broader category that includes different types of vertical pumps, while horizontal centrifugal pumps are generally used for lower pressure applications and do not possess the same specialized design for boosting as can turbine pumps.
