SUBMERSIBLE PUMP

 A submersible pump (or electric submersible pump (ESP))


is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-
coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is
submerged in the fluid to be pumped. The main advantage
of this type of pump is that it prevents pump cavitation, a
problem associated with a high elevation difference
between pump and the fluid surface. Submersible pumps
push water to the surface as opposed to jet pumps having
to pull water. Submersibles are more efficient than 
jet pumps.

Working principle 
ESP systems are effective for pumping produced fluids to
surface.

A system of mechanical seals are used to prevent the fluid


being pumped from entering the motor and causing a 
short circuit. The pump can either be connected to a pipe,
flexible hose or lowered down guide rails or wires so that the
pump sits on a "ducks foot" coupling, thereby connecting it to
the delivery pipework.
Applications
Submersible pumps are found in many applications. Single stage
pumps are used for drainage, sewage pumping, general industrial
pumping and slurry pumping. They are also popular with aquarium
filters. Multiple stage submersible pumps are typically lowered down
a borehole and used for water abstraction or in water wells.
Special attention to the type of ESP is required when using certain
types of liquids. ESP's commonly used on board naval vessels cannot
be used to dewater contaminated flooded spaces. These use a 440
volt A/C motor that operates a small centrifugal pump. It can also be
used out of the water, taking suction with a 2-1/2 inch non-
collapsible hose. The pumped liquid is circulated around the motor
for cooling purposes. There is a possibility that the gasoline will leak
into the pump causing a fire or destroying the pump, so hot water
and flammable liquids should be avoided.
 Submersible pumps are used in oil production to provide a
relatively efficient form of "artificial lift", able to operate across
a broad range of flow rates and depths by decreasing the
pressure at the bottom of the well (by lowering bottomhole
flowing pressure, or increasing drawdown), significantly more
oil can be produced from the well when compared with natural
production.[The pumps are typically electrically powered and
referred to as Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP)
sand.
