A submersible pump is a device with a sealed motor coupled to the pump body that is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. This prevents cavitation issues and allows the pump to push water to the surface more efficiently than jet pumps. Submersible pumps are used in many applications like drainage, sewage, industrial pumping, and water wells. They are also used in oil production to provide artificial lift and increase oil production from wells.

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. DIAGRAM 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.
