(4513) Centrifugal pump
A water lifting device that utilizes the centrifugal force imparted to the water by a rapidly rotating impeller. It is essentially a reversed inward-flow turbine, the water being admitted to the centre of the impeller and discharged at its outer periphery. It is not a displacement pump and, therefore, differs materially from a rotary pump.
