Overview

The Peerless Pump OLS vertical turbine pump provides a wide range of hydraulic and mechanical coverage. Peerless Pump offers many different material and design configurations; these numerous configuration options allow for custom-engineered construction tailored to suit your requirements. Maximum value, high efficiency and economical long-term pump performance are assured in each application.

Applications

Peerless Pump OLS vertical turbine pumps handle water and other nonabrasive fluids. Corrosion-resistant materials are available for many industrial uses. Applications vary from small, single pump commercial applications to large, multi-pump municipal water supply systems. OLS pumps are appropriate for both raw water transfer and finished water projects. They are also widely used in mining and agriculture, as well as for fire protection systems. Other uses include high temperature and high pressure applications, such as condensate systems.

Features

Peerless Pump’s standard cast iron discharge head can handle pressures up to 400 psi. Discharge heads are standardized to accommodate the maximum number of NEMA motor sizes, and a variety of options such as fabricated steel construction or underground discharge are available.

Enclosed-type bronze impellers are standard construction, but other materials are available. Peerless impellers cover a wide range of flow and head conditions. Each impeller is balanced for smooth operation. Peerless Pump standard OLS bowls are cast with integral vanes to guide the flow to the next stage with minimum losses and maximum efficiency. All bowls are porcelainlined for protection and efficiency.

Only Peerless Pump protects the shaft and extends the life of the pumps by utilizing dual bowl bearings. Both bronze and rubber seal protect the shaft and impellers against wear.

Peerless Pump pioneered and patented the “double seal” feature in bowls. The two sealing surfaces prevent efficiency-robbing recirculation within the bowl. Minimal radial clearances between the impeller skirt and the bowl create a dynamic sealing surface. The static sealing surface is the lateral ring, installed into the bowl below the impeller skirt. This lateral ring is constructed of a rigid metallic core surrounded by heavy-duty resilient rubber. Lateral rings protect bowl surfaces, provide protection for the impellers in case of catastrophic failures, and enable prolonged pumping efficiency.

Threaded column is available for pumps up to 16 inches in diameter. Straight-threaded column is an economical yet durable choice, particularly in the municipal market.
