What type of pump is vertical turbine pump?

centrifugal pump
A vertical turbine pump, also known as a vertical pump or lineshaft pump, is a centrifugal pump that transports water from deep underground. A common type of vertical turbine pump is a submersible pump, which is situated entirely underwater. With a submersible pump, the motor is located at the bottom of the system.

Can vertical turbine pump?

Multistage canned vertical turbine pumps offer the same versatility and performance as our lineshaft pumps and are ideal for closed-loop boosting. These are short-set lineshaft pumps with suction piping connected to a can (or sleeve) inlet, which allows the can to create the pump reservoir.

What is a lineshaft turbine pump?

Lineshaft Types Multi-stage Vertical Turbine Pumps with bronze impellers and cast iron bowls. The lineshaft turbine pumps have above-ground discharge with water-lubricated line shaft bearings. The column pipe coupling has bronze centering spiders with fluted-rubber line shaft bearings.

What is vertical turbine pump?

Vertical turbine pumps (VTPs) are a type of rotodynamic pump that use radial or modified radial flow impellers in a vertical configuration. VTPs are typically multistage pumps with several levels of impellers encased in a bowl assembly, and can further be classified as deep well or short set pumps.

Where are vertical turbine pumps used?

BEST APPLICATIONS Vertical turbine pumps can be found in a wide range of agricultural, municipal, and industrial applications. They are generally meant for clean water applications that require high pressure and high head. They are most commonly used to pump out of deep pits or wells.

What is vertical turbine pump used for?

Vertical turbine pumps are centrifugal pumps specially designed to move water from an underground well or reservoir. They’re also known a deep well turbine pumps or a line shaft turbine pumps. While submersible pumps have an electric motor located underwater at the bottom of the pump.

What is an advantage of a turbine pump over a submersible?

Line-shaft VTPs have a great deal more versatility than a submersible type unit. A line-shaft turbine pump can be driven by a vertical motor, an engine through a right-angle gear drive, a horizontal motor through a right-angle gear drive, by a flat belt pulley or a V-belt pulley connected to an engine.

Why vertical pumps are used?

Vertical pumps are often used in plants and locations where there are space or weight restrictions. Another advantage of vertical pumps is that the alignment between the driver, usually an electric motor, and pump is easier to maintain than many horizontal pumps.
