What Is a Regenerative Turbine Pump?
A regenerative turbine pump is a type of centrifugal pump designed for low-flow, high-pressure applications. Unlike standard centrifugal pumps, it uses a rotating impeller with numerous small blades that continuously “regenerate” energy as fluid spirals through the pump. This design produces steady, non-pulsating flow and high heads—ideal for boiler feed, condensate return, and chemical dosing.
