 VERTICAL TURBINE PUMP
Option A Option B
It is an axial flow pump ,which is used to move
water from deep well or reservoir

over 60,000 m3/hr upto 60,000 m3/hr

Motor driven Diesel engine driven

Mesh type Perforated sheet

v2/2g 2v2/g

It is the algebric sum of head below datum and

above datum

Column loss discharge head loss

The loss of head in strainer and suction pipe in head loss(m) by the high friction
metres in column pipe assembly

MDDL:Minimum Draw Down Level POL: Pump Operating Level

MDDL + (2/3)*(FRL-MDDL) MDDL + (4/3)*(FRL-MDDL)

Pb=QH/102 (where Q is in LPS and H is in metre )

Higher static head & Pump

Lower static head & Pump operates to Right operates to Left

Static Head +Fritional Head -

Static Head -Fritional Head - Velocity Head Velocity Head

3 to 6 4 to 7

A shaft tube is used to provide protection to the

bushing.

Cutless Rubber in Metallic shell Feroform T 127

 Cutless Rubber in Metallic shell is used in clear Feroform T 127 is used in
water clear,sea,acidic water

RMP is Rising Main Pipe and it's length depends

upon diameter of RMP .Thivkness of RMP depends
on the pressure/head as well as istallation depth

Bottom bush bearing is used to support shaft at

bottom in Suction bell .

Self Water Lubrication Forced Water Lubrication

Forced lubrication is used where quality of water is

not good hence to flush out the line shaft bearing
forced lubrication is used .

Filtration System Overhead Tank

2)Flow based on water

requirements 1)Cooling needs-
1)Continuous Duty bushing,bearing,etc 2)-
Number of Pumps

Tools needed are may be set of spanners,pliers

,nose pliers, hammers screw drivers,ammeters
,voltmeters,etc

Motors are classified on the Voltage range , Shaft

design and cooling requirement .

1) Air cooled motors 2) Water cooled motors

Flow and head Metalurgy

h=blow head hd = deliver head loss

H=h-hd-hc-hs H=h-hd-hc+hs

1) Electric Motor Driven 2) Diesel Engine Driven

1)Length 2)Torque to be transmitted

 2)Shaft and column pipe
1)Lineshaft bearing bush material selection diameters

It is the source of both static support and dynamic

stiffness and damping . It has big list as check points
to offer the right solution

Michell bearing Thordon bearing

2)A very hard synthetic polymer

alloy with performance
1)It is made from thermosetting resins which 3 characteristics suoerior to those
dimensional cross-linked ,condensation polymers . of other bearing materials both
metallic and non-metallic .

2)Specific Bushing materials and

1)Bearing Arrangement Lubrication
