Applications ... Fairbanks Morse vertical submersible turbine pumps are of rugged, heavy-duty construction designed to successfully operate in a multitude of applications such as pumping from water sources including wells, lakes, cooing ponds, tanks, and rivers. These applications can be found in deep well water supply service, in-line booster service, irrigation systems, sprinkler systems, urban and rural municipal water systems and mine dewatering. Submersible turbine pumps are found in deep-setting, high-head applications where the practical limits of long drive shafts and multiple shaft bearings are exceeded. They are also installed where severe atmospheric conditions such as dust, fumes, and/or high or low temperatures would affect the driver or discharge head sealing arrangement, in areas where surface equipment is prohibited or where there are noise restrictions such as parks or residential locations, or where there is a need to install the unit horizontally.
The successful application of submersible turbine pumps requires the consideration of many elements. In addition to knowing the capacity and discharge head requirements, other factors which need to be evaluated include:
- Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) and submergence
- Total pump thrust
- Allowable bowl pressure
- Capacity operating range
- Horsepower required throughout the pump's operating range
- Allowable discharge head hanging weight
- Sump requirements
Other considerations include:
- Parameters of the liquid being pumped
- Allowable solid size
- Elevation
- Driver requirements
- Material of construction
Features ... Parameters of submersible turbine pumps require the units to be available in configurations to meet user needs. Fairbanks Morse meets these demands by providing submersible turbine pumps in nominal bowl sizes from 4" to 17" in diameter. Semi-open impellers are available in 4" through 6" bowls while enclosed are available in 4" through 17" bowls.
Material of construction include cast iron bowls, bronze impellers and stainless steel pump shaft.
Submersible turbine pumps are driven by standard vertical submersible motors coupled directly to the bowl shaft. The discharge piping requires only a simple discharge elbow at the discharge surface. There is no packing box or mechanical seal to maintain. Power to the motor is conducted via a waterproof cable.
Our special services ... at Fairbanks Morse we will design, research, test and manufacture submersible turbine pumps for special requirements. In many cases our standard pumps can be easily modified to meet these special requirements.
