Most centrifugal pumps are not self priming. In other words, the pump casing must be filled with liquid before the pump is started, or the pump will not be able to function. If the pump casinges filled with vapors or gases, the pump impelleres gas bound and incapable of pumping. To ensure that a centrifugal pump remains primed and does note gas bound, most centrifugal pumps are located below the level of the source from which the pump is to take its suction. The same effect can be gaine
