Submersible Vertical Turbine Pump
Overview
Applications
Submersible vertical pumps are commonly used where: low noise levels are required; above ground equipment needs to be hidden from view; flood levels could damage typical above ground electric motors; environmental requirements limit all acceptable methods of line shaft lubrication; installation time and cost is limited. Varieties of material combinations are available to accommodate nearly any intended service. Peerless’ wealth of application experience assures you of excellent engineering consultation during the design phase.
Features
Peerless Pump® submersible vertical turbine pumps offer many features that save time and money. Rotating elements are free from radial thrust, minimizing bearing wear and contributing to long, trouble-free service life. Dual bronze and neoprene bowl bearings are always lubricated by the pumped liquid, reducing failures and required maintenance. Steel cored neoprene lateral seal rings provide an abrasion resistant seal between impeller and bowl, maximizing efficiency and increasing wear life. Impellers are cast bronze as standard, combining smooth efficient surfaces with considerable corrosion resistance. Bowls are cast iron as standard with smooth vitreous enamel coated flow passages and are some of the heaviest in the industry. This additional bowl weight insures solid, leak-resistant construction, as well as ample corrosion allowance. Pump-grade corrosion resistant stainless steel shafting is used in every application, limiting vibrations and bearing wear. Extra-long sleeve bearings in the bowls offer additional radial support to the shaft and protect the upper motor bearing.
