A pump is a device that moves
fluids (liquids or gases),
or sometimes slurries,
by mechanical action,
typically converted from
electrical energy into hydraulic energy.
Peripheral pumps,
also referred to as regenerative pumps
(also see Side channel pumps),
are centrifugal pumps
whose impeller
(see Peripheral impeller) rotates
in a largely concentric casing
channel with an inlet and an outlet opening.
Peripheral pumps operate by
means of an impeller characterised
by a large number of small dual-flow
radial blades (with dual input)
arranged along its peripheral area.
The centrifugal forces inside the
rotor generate a circulatory flow
between the impeller and the casing channel.

On the other hand, they
have a better capacity.
Another very striking
advantage lies in the fact that
these products are very inexpensive to purchase.
For these reasons,
they are widely used in the home to pump clean water ,
without abrasive particles or chemical liquids.
Peripheral pumps have higher head coefficients and steeper characteristic curves than side channel pumps. As the flow rate increases, peripheral pumps' input power decreases. Multistage pumps are peripheral pumps that have multiple blade wheels arranged at the different diameter levels of the impeller.
