Question

What is the function of the diffuser in a submersible

• A. To increase the velocity of the water
• B. To convert the velocity of water into pressure
• C. To filter out debris from the water
• D. To provide electrical insulation

Answer 1

Answer:

B. To convert the velocity of water into pressure

The function of the diffuser in a submersible pump is to convert the velocity of water into pressure. The diffuser slows down the high-velocity water discharged from the impeller, converting the kinetic energy into pressure energy, which is essential for the efficient operation of the pump.
