What is axially split pump?

What is axially split pump?

An axially split centrifugal pump features a pump casing design where the casing is split along the shaft centreline. See Fig. 1 Cargo oil pump. The opposite is a radially split design.

What is radially split pump?

If a centrifugal pump’spump casing features a vertical joint relative to the shaft, this is referred to as a radially split design. The opposite is the axially split design.

What is overhung centrifugal pump?

An overhung centrifugal pump uses one impeller installed on a shaft that is suspended at one end by bearings. Between bearing centrifugal pumps are favoured over overhung centrifugal pumps whenever higher flow rates, higher pressures, and heavier loading of the pump will occur.

What is meant by overhung pump?

Overhung Impeller Type: The impeller is mounted on the end of a shaft which is “overhung” from its bearing supports. – Close Coupled pumps where the impeller is mounted directly on the motor shaft – Separately coupled or frame mounted where the impeller is mounted on a separate pump shaft supported by its own bearings.

What is BB3 pump?

General. Our API 610 type BB3 pumps are multistage, centre line mounted, axial split, single suction, between bearing pumps. The pump and motor are flexibly coupled and installed on a common baseplate.

What does API 610 mean?

API 610 is the API standard relating specifically to centrifugal pumps and centrifugal pumping systems. It provides design criteria for the design of the actual centrifugal pump, as well as how the centrifugal pump is to be tested, and what type of base it is to be mounted on.

What is a double suction pump?

Double-suction pumps are employed when the flow rate required of a centrifugal pump becomes too large for the inlet cross-sections of one impeller or when the flow velocity in the inlet cross-section of the first impeller has to be reduced to prevent cavitation. …

What is a bb4 pump?

The BB-4® is a high-pressure centrifugal pump that has been used by forestry agencies to combat wildfires for over 40 years. Available in portable and vehicle-mounted configurations, the BB-4® pump generates the high pressure required to overcome challenges that arise in difficult terrain.
