121Axial flow pump — An axial flow pump, or AFP, is a common type of water pump that essentially consists of a propeller in a tube. The propeller can be driven directly by a sealed motor in the tube or by a right angle drive shaft that pierces the tube.The main… …
122Rotodynamic pump — A rotodynamic pump is a type of pump in which the dynamic motion of a fluid is increased by pump action, in contrast to a positive displacement pump in which a fluid is moved by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and forcing the trapped volume into …
123hydraulic pump — A pump in a hydraulic pressure system, used to build up the requisite pressure for the system. The main hydraulic pumps are normally engine driven, whereas those for use in a secondary hydraulic system or in an emergency may be mechanically or… …

126Intra-aortic balloon pump — The Intra aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical device that is used to decrease myocardial oxygen demand while at the same time increasing cardiac output. By increasing cardiac output it also increases coronary blood flow and therefore… …
127Roughing pump — A roughing pump is any vacuum pump (typically mechanical) used to initially evacuate a vacuum system, as a first stage towards achieving high vacuum or ultra high vacuum. Pumps that operate in the high vacuum ranges don t operate or operate… …
128double-acting hand pump — A hand pump that moves fluids during both strokes of the pump handle. A wobble pump is an example of a double acting hand pump. When the handle of the wobble pump is operated, the negative pressure created on whatever side is pulled upward lifts… …
