Description
Design OH1:
- Horizontal, radial split volute casing
- Single-stage, single-suction
- Single or double volute for branch sizes larger than 80 mm
- Casing heating available
- Usually mechanical seal
- One-piece heavy duty bearing bracket with oil/grease lubricated antifriction bearing
- Air cooling (with fan) of the bearing, however also water cooling possible
Features:
- Fully interchangeable modular elements for various pump sizes to minimize spare stock keeping Foot mounted single stage
Applications:
Pumping of:
- Hydrocarbons, cold or hot
- Chemicals, neutral and aggressive liquids
- Seawater
Exploitation:
- Cryogenic Engineering
- Offshore Industries
Exploitation:
- No cooling water pipe-work
- No cooling water consumption
- No increased bearing heating
- Few bearing checks required
- Small shaft deflection
- Long rated life of mechanical seal due to low radial thrust
- Low cost for pipe-work support
- Low spare part need
