What is a centrifugal pump?

The simplest of pumps. A vaned rotor rotates inside the pump body. The water spins to the outside of the pump rotor and is forced out of the outlet pipe. The differential pressure across the pump continuously reprimes it. Very common in vehicle cooling systems, power showers and in washing machines.
