Conveying Chamber

The conveying chamber is the central area of a pump in which the medium to be conveyed is absorbed, transported and forwarded. Its design and function depend on the respective pump type and significantly influence the pump's flow rate and efficiency.

In positive displacement pumps such as progressing cavity pumps, rotary lobe pumps or multi screw pumps, it ensures a uniform and low-pulsation flow. In contrast, in peristaltic pumps, the pumping chamber is formed by the elastic properties of the hose. Parameters such as viscosity, abrasiveness and solids content of the medium, as well as the material of the conveying chamber, determine its wear behaviour and service life. Operating parameters such as pressure, temperature and speed also influence the functionality of the conveying chamber and must be taken into account when designing the pump.
