2 Conditions of use

1. When the water pump is running, a certain immersion depth must be maintained. For the minimum immersion depth value, refer to the pump installation dimension drawing.

2. The water cannot contain any oily substances.

3. The water must not contain excessive corrosive minerals.

4. The sand content in the water shall not exceed 0.01 % (by weight).

5. The pH value of water should be between 6.5 and 8.5 . If it exceeds this range, special customization is required.

6. The well should be upright.

3. Structure Description

The structure diagram of the VTP series pump is shown in Figure 1 .

<1>Drive type

VTC series pumps have four drive modes: ⅰ) directly driven by ordinary vertical motor; ⅱ) directly driven by vertical hollow shaft motor; ⅲ) equipped with diesel engine or steam turbine through right angle gearbox speed change drive; ⅳ) equipped with horizontal motor through right angle gearbox speed change drive.

<2>Structure

The pump equipment is mainly composed of three parts: pump body, water lifting pipe and pump seat. The first two parts are located underground, and the pump seat is located above the well.

ⅰ) Pump body parts

The pump body components mainly include: filter screen, impeller, sealing ring, cone sleeve, suction bell mouth, guide vane body, guide bearing, impeller shaft and other parts.

The suction bell mouth and the guide vane body are connected by flanges, and the impeller is fixed by a cone sleeve.

ⅱ) Water pipe parts

The water pumping pipe components are composed of water pumping pipe, transmission shaft, guide bearing body, guide bearing and coupling and other parts.

The water pipes are connected by flanges; there are two types of couplings: threaded couplings and sleeve couplings, and threaded couplings are generally used.

ⅲ) Pump seat parts

The pump seat components mainly include the water outlet elbow and the packing device. When driven by an ordinary vertical motor, it is also equipped with a motor support, thrust bearing components, anti-reverse mechanism, pump, motor coupling and other components.

The entire pump base assembly is fixed to the foundation with multiple anchor bolts.

4 Installation

Before installation, always inspect the pump equipment.

l Count the parts and check whether any are missing or damaged.

l Check all assembled fasteners for proper tightness.

l Turn the pump shaft, it should rotate smoothly.

Installation steps:

<1>Install the filter.

<2> Use a coupling to connect the lower transmission shaft and the impeller shaft.

<3>Connect the lower water pipe and the uppermost guide shell with bolts.

<4>Lift the connected parts and slowly lower them into the well, then use the flange to support and fix them on the square wood of the well platform.

<5>Install the guide bearing components and the previous section of the transmission shaft and water pipe.

<6>Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the drive shafts and water pipes are installed.

<7>Take out the filler in the filler cavity of the water outlet elbow, lift the water outlet elbow, pass the upper shaft through the filler cavity hole, connect the rising water pipe and the water outlet elbow, and then slowly lower it until the water outlet elbow falls on the foundation.

<8>Install the packing and tighten the packing gland.

<9>Depending on the driving mode, the following steps are divided into three situations:

ⅰ) Ordinary vertical motor drive

First install the motor support on the upper part of the outlet elbow, then fix the thrust bearing body to the motor support with bolts, put the thrust bearing in the thrust bearing body, install the key on the upper shaft, insert the bearing bushing, then install the anti-reverse ratchet, and finally install the pump coupling and tighten it with a small round nut (adjusting nut).

ⅱ) Hollow shaft motor drive

Remove the waterproof cover on the upper end of the motor, lift the motor, pass the upper shaft through the hollow rotor of the motor, install the motor on the water outlet elbow, and install the adjusting nut.

ⅲ) Driven by right angle gearbox

The installation method is similar to that of the hollow shaft motor drive.

Vertical turbine long shaft pumps (VTP) are divided into the following four products according to the impeller type and drive mode:

1. LC type single-stage or multi-stage centrifugal pumps or mixed flow pumps (corresponding to API 610 VS1 pumps) for high head, among which the vertical multi-stage guide vane centrifugal pump can be expanded to a vertical barrel pump (corresponding to API 610 VS6 pump).

2. HLB(K) single-stage mixed flow pump (diagonal flow pump) for larger flow and medium head.

3. ZLB single-stage axial flow pump for large flow and low head (corresponding to API 610 VS3 pump).

4.Vertical long shaft pump driven by right angle gearbox for fire fighting and offshore platforms or places with insufficient power supply .

◆ The external pipe with stopper positioning has low cost, easy maintenance and few faults.

◆ The transmission shafts are connected with key couplings for easy maintenance.

◆ When pumping media containing particles, a closed transmission shaft design with a protective tube can be used, and external flushing water can be used to flush the guide bearing, which is suitable for pumping corrosive and abrasive media.

◆ There are various bearing materials to choose from, such as rubber, ceramide, carbon fiber, ceramic, etc.

◆ The surface of the replaceable sleeve is hardened to extend its service life.
