Vertical Turbine Pump Repair

Vertical Turbine Pump Repair

PumpMan SoCal offers repair and rebuild services for vertical turbine pumps and motors in the Southern California area. A Vertical Turbine Pump (VTP) consists of multiple impellers that are staged on a vertical shaft. The impellers are designed to bring water in the bottom and discharge it out the top. This results in axial flow as water is discharged up through the column pipe. Staging the impellers in Vertical Turbine Pumps can create very high discharge pressures, since the pressure increases as the water moves through each stage. Vertical Turbine Pumps are pumps that are designed to fit in a bore-hole well. Our vertical turbine pump repair services are available for Vertical Turbine pumps can also pump out of an open reservoir, river, intake structure, or tank, or can be mounted in barrel for booster pump applications. A pump can have one or more impellers and diffuser bowls, depending on total head requirement.

Key Features, Applications, and Advantages

Features

Vertical Turbine Pumps are available with open and enclosed type impellers. Sleeve bearings in pump diffuser bowls are lubricated by the liquid pumped. Vertical high thrust motor mounted on top for product lubricated lineshaft bearings, or submersible motor mounted below pump to eliminate lineshaft and lineshaft bearings.

VTP Application

Vertical Turbine Pumps are used in irrigation, potable water supply, plant make-up water, cooling water, fire pumps, potable water distribution, booster pumps, and process pumps. Repair services for vertical turbine pumps can include repair & rebuild on submersible turbine pumps, double suction vertical pumps, multi-stage pumps, axial propeller mixed flow pumps and more.

Types of Fluids

Vertical Turbine Pumps pump water and relatively thin liquids (will not pump thicker oils). They can pump liquids with or without solids if proper impeller type is chosen. Available in alloys for corrosive services.

Advantages

Vertical Turbine Pumps are the only practical way to pump from a deep well. Wide flow and head ranges. Less floor space usage (smaller footprint). Immersed pump eliminates priming. They can pump version excellent for low Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) services.

Pump Repair Services

Has a propeller-type of impeller running in a casing. The pressure is developed by the flow of liquid over the blades of impeller.

Used to boost pressure in a system for applications where normal system pressure is low and needs to be increased.

Generally a pump with in-line suction and discharge flanges used to circulate gases, liquids, or slurries in a closed circuit.

Built to assure safe, efficient and reliable operation. Learn more about PumpMan SoCal's vertical column pump repair services.

Mainly used when there are a lot of difficult types of material that may clog a standard pump impeller.

A type of reciprocating positive displacement pump in which liquid is pumped by a reciprocating diaphragm.

Centrifugal pumps used for fire fighting in buildings, plants, and other locations. May meet UL/NFPA standards for fire pumps.

A type of submersible sewage pump that has cutting teeth incorporated onto the impeller to grind the sewage.

Most usually frame mount centrifugal pumps, split case, vertical multistage as well as others.

Use multiple impellers with either diffusers or volutes generate more head than single stage (single impeller) pumps.

A specific type of centrifugal pump that can be located above the suction reservoir without an external priming system.

Types of centrifugal pumps that have a single or double suction impeller supported between bearings.

Often used in sewage treatment plants to keep solids in suspension in the various process tanks and/or sludge holding tanks.

A pump submerged in liquid or fluid. The motor is hermetically sealed and encapsulated in the body of pump casing.

A self-priming centrifugal or submersible centrifugal pump designed to handle rocks and other solids while dewatering.

Consists of multiple impellers that are staged on a vertical shaft. Designed to bring water in bottom and discharge it out top.

A type of vertical turbine pump designed especially for use in a drilled bore-hole well.
