What're The Features of Vertical Centrifugal Pumps

As we all know that the centrifugal pump is a very important part in the oil drilling work. To be frank, maybe there are fewer person could understand how does the centrifugal pump work. So here we Solvedrilling want to share some information about the centrifugal pumps.

Firstly, we shall have a basic understanding of Centrifugal pumps.

“Centrifugal pumps are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbo machinery. Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing), from where it exits.

Common uses include water, sewage, petroleum and petrochemical pumping. The reverse function of the centrifugal pump is a water turbine converting potential energy of water pressure into mechanical rotational energy. ” <From Wikipedia>

More information about how the centrifugal pump work, there does have a detailed explanation in Wikipedia, you could have a reference. Click here to get the details.

Now I want to have this chance to talk about the features of our Solvedrilling Centrifugal pumps.

The Solvedrilling Centrifugal pump contains four classical types; there are Vertical pump; Spary pump; Shear pump and Sand pump. Four different types consisted our amazing centrifugal pump. What’re the features of our pumps?

 

Vertical Centrifugal Pumps

Today I just start to share the features of LSB Series Vertical Centrifugal pump.

1.      The vertical pump which manufactured with special machinery seal technology (patent No.: ZL200720079857.2), has very long service life, reaching internationally advanced level and improved operational reliability;

2.      Its impeller is specially designed to have a wider flow pass and smooth vanes, with larger flow area and smooth fluid pass, making the vertical pump reach the internationally advanced level in pump efficiency and energy-saving, 10% higher than similar products. 

3.      The centrifugal pump has adopted a shell thicker than normal one, with rational pass and less turbulence. Impeller and shell are made of high wear resistant cast irons, with service life longer than other products by 50%;

4.      The vertical pump shaft has high strength that can bear certain load, reducing shafts deflection and extending seals service life; 

5.      The shaft is lubricated with lubricants and lubricating grease and the oil seal is made of special structure and materials, suitable for high and low temperatures and complicated environment; Front opening structure is used for convenient installation, repair and maintenance.

6.      It is used for special installation circumstance and centrifuge feeding, with two series of LSB100 and LSB2×3, in 9 specifications.

With the amazing features and the awesome shape, I do not think it is a best one, but, at least, it is the better one than those you ever saw.
