How Does a Submersible Pump Work?

A submersible pump pushes water to the surface by converting rotary energy into kinetic energy into pressure energy. This is done by the water being pulled into the pump: first in the intake, where the rotation of the impeller pushes the water through the diffuser. From there, it goes to the surface.

  4. Run the pump into the deepest part of the water.

How is a submersible pump powered?

Electric submersible pumps are multistage centrifugal pumps operating in a vertical position. Liquids, accelerated by the impeller, lose their kinetic energy in the diffuser, where a conversion of kinetic to pressure energy takes place. ... Fluids enter the pump through an intake screen and are lifted by the pump stages.
