Self-priming side channel pump of WPV series

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

• Capacity – up to 38 m3/h
• Head – up to 60 m
• Medium – toxic, chemical, explosive or other dangerous liquids
• Operating temperature – up to 240 ºC.

The side-channel pumps are selfpriming and operate more economically (better efficiency) than normal centrifugal pumps when handling low flows and high heads.

Due to these facts, the side-channel pumps are appropriate to solve many pumping problems in industrial processes. They can be used for almost all liquids which are free of any abrasive solids and of suitable viscosity.
The vertical side-channel pumps are suitable especially for tank farms with underground storage tanks with a diameter of max. 2,5 m. The design of the pumps allows an installation directly on the dome cover. That means, suction lift is only slightly above the tank diameter and the suction pipe can be kept short.

It is possible to use a pump in sealless design with permanent magnetic coupling to work with toxic, explosive and other hazardous liquids in the chemical and petrochemical industries. The WPV-pumps operate maintenance-free, as far as they do not have shaft sealing elements in their design.
The WPV-types are single stage, single flow, selfpriming inline-pumps. The opposite located suction- and discharge flanges have identical nominal diameters. The pump consists of the socket, the suction and pressure disc, the bearing housing with mechanical seal and the impeller.
