Centrifugal Pump | Positive Displacement Pump |
High pumping water volume | Low pumping water volume |
Low maintenance required | Frequent maintenance required |
High efficiency that is degraded when the pump deviates from Rated speed | The pump is able to operate efficiently over a wide speed range away from the Rated speed |
The pump can pump water with low solar radiation by using PVPS | Requires high starting torque to operate by PVPS |
The pumping flow rate varies according to the pumping head | The pumping flow rate is approximately equal, regardless of the pumping head |
As the water viscosity increases, the flow rate decreases | As water viscosity increases, flow rate also increases |
Widely used in PVPS | Rarely used in PVPS |
