A vertical turbine pump is an extremely versatile type of centrifugal pump that has a wide range of applications. They can be configured to provide both high flow and high pressure as needed and offer strength over other pump types for transferring liquid. Let’s take a look at the vertical turbine pump, how it works, and where they can be found in use.
What Is a Vertical Turbine Pump?
A vertical turbine pump is a specialized type of centrifugal pump that is designed to transport fluid from a reservoir that is often deep underground. Unlike a submersible pump that has the motor contained with the pump inside the liquid to be transported, these pumps are connected to a surface motor through the use of a long vertical shaft.
Vertical turbine pumps have the strength in that they allow for motor replacement and repair without removing the entire pump assembly. Since the motor sits on the surface, the drive motor choice can be more flexible, including gas and electric options.
Vertical turbines are commonly used in all types of applications, from moving process water in industrial plants to providing flow for cooling towers at power plants, from pumping raw water for irrigation, to boosting water pressure in municipal pumping systems, and for virtually every other imaginable pumping application. Turbines are one of the most popular types of pumps for designers, end-users, installing Contractors, and distributors.
There are many types of turbine pumps. But vertical turbines and submersible turbines are the most widely applicable. The primary technical difference between the two lies in where the motor is located. In vertical turbines, the motor is above ground and connected to the impellers through a long shaft. In submersible turbine pumps, the motor is underwater at the bottom of the pump. At Service Pump & Supply, we sell, install, and service both vertical and submersible turbines.
FVTM/FVTE is type vertical turbine pump (sometimes called long-shaft pump) with centrifugal type impeller, volute design. FVTM/FVTE type vertical turbine pump is completely according to API 610 application and performance request designed. The FVTM/FVTE vertical turbine pump is driven by standard vertical compact motor or driven by horizontal driver (electric motor, diesel engine) by the right angle gear box. The underground column and shaft is divide into several sections, so FVTM/FVTE type vertical turbine pump is flexible to get the desired length to meet the deepth of the well. FVTM/FVTE type vertical sump pump can offer any tailor-made according to the project request.
