Vertical turbine pump is designed to successfully operate in a multitude of water sources from wells to oceans.

Markets served: Urban and rural municipal water, irrigation, chemical processing, primary metals, petroleum, power plants, mines, food processing, offshore platforms and more Handles raw water intake, liquid transfer, cooling water circulation, booster service, storm water, flood control, marine, process services, volatile fluids, condensate, fuel pumps and mine dewatering

Turbine bowls can be staged in series to produce the necessary discharge pressures. Constructed out of cast iron, bronze, stainless steel or other machineable materials. Wear rings are available to provide a renewable surface. Open line shafts – Allows shaft bearings lubrication

How It Works:

The vertical turbine pump is normally driven by an AC electric induction motor or a diesel engine via a right angle drive. The end of the pump consists of a rotating impeller that is joined to a shaft and guides the well water into a diffuser casing known as a bowl.

Pumps with multi-stage arrangements use several impellers on a single shaft to generate higher pressure that would be required for pumping water from deeper wells or where higher pressure (head) is required at ground level.

A vertical turbine pump works when water comes through the pump from the bottom through a bell-shaped device known as a suction bell. The water then moves into the first stage impeller, which increases the velocity of the water. The water then moves into the diffuser casing directly above the impeller, where the high velocity energy is transformed into high pressure. The diffuser casing also guides the fluid into the next impeller located directly above the diffuser casing. The process goes on through all the stages in the pump.

After leaving the diffuser casing, the water passes in a vertical column pipe and rises toward the surface. The rotating shaft within the column is propped at 3 to 5 foot intervals using sleeve bushings that are set within the column and they are lubricated by the water as it moves past them. The pump also has a discharge head at the surface which allows the flow to change direction toward the discharge pipe. An upright standing high thrust A.C. motor is fitted above the pump’s discharge head.

Advantage:

First-Class testing and inspection equipment.

UL certification represents the world's highest technical standards of fire certification,but also means that certified fire products must withstand the most extreme,harsh test process,the purpose of certification designed to verify whether the product meets the performance,safety and quality requirements,so as to achieve the purpose of property protection.
