INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
2 SUMMIT PUMP MODEL CCFM GENERAL PURPOSE
2 INTRODUCTION
This installation, operation, and maintenance manual is designed to help you achieve the best
performance and longest life from your Summit Pump.
This pump is a centrifugal pump which generates pressure, not flow. Velocity imparted to the casing
from the impeller tip is converted from velocity energy to pressure energy; flow is a byproduct of the
differential pressure.
Fluid from the suction eye is dispersed through the impeller in the volume between the impeller
vanes. Fluid leaves the vane tip at approximately the same speed as the vane tip, the fluid
immediately collides with the casing wall and the velocity energy is converted to pressure energy. If
allowed, the fluid will leave the discharge port towards a lower pressure.
If there are any questions regarding this pump or its application, which are not covered in this
manual, please contact your local Summit Pump, Inc. Distributor.
For information or technical assistance on the driver service, contact the driver manufacturer’s local
dealer or representative.
