Vertical turbine pumps are typically used whenever a liquid needs to be pumped upward from ground water tables (deep well pumps), manmade underground storage (caverns) or open bodies of liquid such as oceans, rivers, lakes, cooling ponds, tanks and sumps. Vertical turbine pumps are also used in inline applications such as pipelines, booster and low-NPSH systems.
The VT is an “engineered to order “ vertical turbine pump. Replaceable hardened wear rings help to ensure long life and facilitate maintenance. Above and below base discharge connections are available to suit existing pipe design variants. Performance and hydro testing is in accordance with the Hydraulic Institute Standards. The VT pump is engineered to balance high efficiency, low submergence and NPSH considerations. Impeller is closed design, cast from various materials of choice for versatility, balanced to assure vibration-free operation and polished to optimize performance. The impeller is secured to the shaft by a key and split thrust ring and is available with replaceable wear rings.
