BOWLS
|
|
|
 |
The bowl
assemblies are made of close-grained cast iron [with a small
percentage of nickel to increase the density of metal]. They
are hydraulically profiled to reduce friction to the water
flowing upward and to convert high velocity into pressure
head to peak efficiency and performance. The inner surface
is coated with anti-corrosive paint. The bowls house the
impellers and bronze bearing. Flanged joints connect two
bowls with each other.

|
 |
IMPELLERS:
|
|
|
 |
The vane angles
of the impellers are carefully selected to achieve a higher
manometric efficiency and the vanes are made extra-smooth to
minimize hydraulic losses. The impellers are statically and
dynamically balanced to the nearest working speed for a
vibration less operation. This ensures a longer life. The
impellers are machined accurately to match the contours of
the bowls.
The running clearance of the impellers can be easily varied
to change the capacity or to compensate for wear and
differing well conditions while maintaining the same high
capacity. Precision turbine pumps can give almost any
combination of capacity and head by varying the type of
impeller and the number of stages. The pumps can be fitted
with closed impellers to draw clean; general-purpose water
semi- open impellers can be supplied when sand, turbid water
is to be drawn. Normally alloy cast iron impellers are
supplied, but bronze impellers can be provided at marginal
cost. The latter are indispensable when handling water
containing mineral salts and sand or when hygienic water is
required. Precision turbine pumps are almost universal in
their application. They are engineered for normal use for
pumping water from tube wells, deep wells, open wells, bore
hole, lakes and rivers, They can be applied for general
sump, condenser line and booster, transfer service, cooling
tower, flood control and irrigation purposes, various wet
and dry pit installations and for above floor level’ or
‘below ground’ suction and discharge. In fact precision
turbine pumps can be installed to handle any quantity of
water up to 25,00,000 liters per hour form depths up to 200
meters.

Suction Case: |
|
| |
Made of cast
iron, the strong suction case is hydraulically contoured to
guide a uniform flow to the impeller. It is fitted with long
bronze bearing [for the impeller shaft], a sand collar and a
sealing plug for sand-free running and sturdiness. The
conical strainer at the bottom prevents large foreign solid
particles from entering into the suction case.

COLUMN ASSEMBLY
|
|
 |
COLUMN PIPES/RISING MAINS: |
|
| |
Water rises
upwards between the casing pipes and these outermost heavy
duty steel column pipes [API standard] which are made in
standard lengths of 3 m. [10’] and or 1.5 m. [5’] with heavy
duty external threads or with flanged joints. Column pipe
couplings rigidly connect two column pipes.
|
| |
|
|
 |
SHAFT ENCLOSING TUBES/CASINGS: |
| |
The shaft
enclosing tubes, from which oil passes downwards to
lubricate the line shaft, prevent the oil mixing with pumped
water, protect the line shaft, and also hold the line shaft
bearing in alignment. [Naturally the casing pipe is
eliminated in water lubricated pumps]. Available in 1.5 m.
[5’] standard length, they are coupled with bronze
spiral-grooved, threaded bush bearings. Chemically treated
rubber guide spiders provided at suitable intervals
stabilize vibrations. The casing pipe being eliminated in
water lubricated pumps, the cast iron stabilize [guide
spider] containing cut-less rubber bearing is screwed or
flanged to the column pipe. |
| |
|
|
 |
LINE SHAFT: |
|
|
 |
The solid line
shaft, rotated from top by the prime mover, is made of
high-carbon steel, threaded and ground. This strong line
shaft is designed for 25% overload capacity at maximum power
Consumption, and is coated with a special “ASFOSIL” plastic
coating for rust protection and increased life. In water
lubricated pumps the line shaft rotates, in rubber bearing,
with the stainless steel sleeves, which have internal
threads. The sleeves are locked by the line shaft steel
coupling, which at the same time couples the two line shafts
in oil lubricated pumps the line shaft rune through bronze
bearing and the sleeves are eliminated.

|
 |
DISCHARGE CASE & TOP BOWL: |
| |
The body is made
of close-grained cast iron. It is provided with outlet ports
and long bearing, strong enough to guide the pump shaft for
a vibration-free operation. The bearing is protected by a
sand collar [bronze or plastic]. The stuffing box of the oil
lubricated pump is provided with a bronze lantern ring and
graphite asbestos gland packing to achieve perfect oil-water
separation and to ensure a smooth oil lubrication system. |
| |
|
|
 |
A SPECIAL FEATURE:
|
|
| |
Imagine the
cumbersome task of repairing a gland assembly, situated 100
meters below the ground, damaged by excessive water
pressure. The discharge case of precision oil lubricated
pumps features a special LABYRINTH bushing system [generally
not found in other makes] which reduces the amount and
pressure of water entering the stuffing box, thus preventing
the direct action of water pressure on the gland packing.
[The additional bronze bearing provided under the sand
bushing also reduces the vibrations that would the disturb
the packing]. |

THE 4 WAY SEALING FEATURE OF
PRECISION TURBINE PUMPS: |
|
 |
The bowl and
impeller assembly of precision turbine pumps have a special
4-way sealing feature which ensures a perfect non-leaking
fitting reducing the loss of liquid through bypass. The
diagram shows how horizontal surfaces. This helps maintain
the maximum performance and efficiency of the pump. |

|
 |
WATER / OIL Lubrication
|
|
|
 |
Whether you
should select an oil or water lubricated system depends upon
the type of water to be pumped, the type of installation and
other factors. Major differences between the two types are
in the column assembly bearing and in the discharge case. In
a water lubricated pump, water is added before starting the
pump to pre-lubricate the line shaft rubber bearings. The
shaft enclosing tube [which separates the lubrication oil
from discharge water in the oil lubrication pumps] is
completely eliminated.
The extra shaft enclosing tube in oil lubricated pumps makes
them sturdier, ensuring a smooth operation regardless of the
frequency of starting and shutting of the pump. Such pumps
are the ones most commonly used for irrigation and water
supply schemes.
|
| |
However, water lubricated pumps are indispensable when
clear, cold, hygienic water free from oil and dirt is
desired, Engineered to fulfill the complex design
requirements and diversified needs of modern.
Industries, water supply and agriculture the precision oil
lubricated/water lubricated turbine pumps save you time and
money in performance and maintenance to give more water at
lower cost per liter. |
| |
|
| |
Precision turbine pumps
can draw from 15000 to as much as 25,00,000 liters [330 to
5,50,000 gallons] of water per hour from up to 90 m. [330’]
depth, [specially designed pumps reach as deep as 200 m]
from the tube wells with a minimum diameter from 100 mm. to
650 mm. [4” to 26”] They are manufactured in a wide range of
sizes from 65 mm. x 50 mm. to 400 mm. x 400 mm. [2.1/2” x 2”
to 16” x 16”]. |

DRIVING ARRANGEMENT:
|
|
| |
Precision
turbine pumps are adaptable to of prime mover and driving
arrangement. If electric power is available, the pumps can
be driven with a vertical hollow or solid shaft motors. They
can also be driven by means of a petrol/diesel engine or
even a tractor which drives the pump through a V or flat
belt pulley hand with a hollow shaft. A right angle drive
too can be provided for the pump with an oil engine through
a horizontal flexible shaft. The safeguard against power
failure particularly in a power house, the combination of an
electric motor and pulley or right-angle gear head ensure an
unfailing continuous supply of water. The pump assemblies’
can-be run at speeds between 1440 to 2,880.rpm. |
