How the VTP Vertical Turbine Pump Works
The VTP pump line is typically designed for installation in wells or sumps. Its bowl assembly includes a suction bell, one or more pump bowls, and a discharge case. The assembly is positioned within the sump or well at a depth that ensures proper submergence for efficient operation.
Features
- Capacity up to 6,626 m³/h (29,174 gpm)
- Head to 1,067 m (3,500 ft)
- Maximum Pressure up to 105 bar (1,523 psi)
- Temperature -185 °C to 121 °C (-300 °F to 250 °F)
- Semi-open runners which are axially adjustable from the operating floor level
- Good efficiency and good choke-flow characteristics
- Discharge may be open into a sump, or into a barrel in a closed system
- API 610 latest edition (VS1) construction available
Applications
- Hydroelectric Generators
- Industrial Systems
- Water Transportation
- Dams
- Reverse Osmosis
- Oil Supply Systems
- Chemical & Petrochemical
- Cryogenic Closed Systems
How the VTG Vertical Turbine Generator Works
The VTG operates as a reverse-running pump. When the flow through the unit is reversed, the impeller turns in the opposite direction, allowing it to function as a turbine. In this mode, the motor serves as a generator, converting the turbine’s mechanical energy into electricity. Designed for applications with consistent head and flow, the VTG is ideal for fulfilling small-scale hydroelectric power requirements.
Features
- Capacity up to 13,636 m³/h (60,000 gpm)
- Head up to 175 m (575 ft)
- Maximum Pressure 17 bar (250 psi)
- Temperature up to 135 °C (275 °F)
- Discharge flanges sizes 12'' to 36''
- Head room for motor removal minimized by use of vertical solid shaft coupling construction
- Integrally fabricated bearing spider construction of 5-foot maximum spacing between bearings
Applications
- Fresh Water
- Sea Water
- Wastewater
- Effluent Applications
- Hydrocarbons
- Chemical
- Cooling Tower
- Pipeline Service
- General Industry
