Description
Belt Wheel Centrifugal Pumps Overview
Belt Wheel Centrifugal Pumps are versatile and robust pumps designed to be powered by gasoline engines, diesel engines, or electric motors via a belt drive system. These pumps are ideal for agricultural irrigation, landscape watering, general-purpose water supply, and pressure-boosting applications. With their simple structure, double mechanical seal system, and stainless steel shaft, they offer stable and reliable performance.
Key Features
- Cast Iron Pump Body and Impeller: Durable and corrosion-resistant.
- Big Flow Rate and High Head: Capable of handling large volumes of water with high pressure.
- Versatile Power Options: Can be powered by gasoline engines, diesel engines, or electric motors.
- Double Mechanical Seal System: Ensures leak-free operation and enhanced reliability.
- Stainless Steel Shaft: Provides long-lasting performance and resistance to wear.
Performance Range
- Size: 2~4 inches
- Max. Head: 40~95 meters
- Max. Flow: 24~140 m³/h
- Speed: 3600 rpm
Applications
- Agricultural Irrigation: Efficiently delivers water to crops and fields.
- General Purpose Water Supply: Suitable for various water transfer needs.
- Pressure Boosting: Enhances water pressure in pipelines.
- Drainage and Drought Relief: Effective for removing excess water or supplying water during droughts.
- Landscape Watering: Ideal for maintaining gardens, parks, and green spaces.
Installation Guidelines
- Suction and Discharge Pipe Sizing:
- Refer to Chart 1 for proper sizing of suction and discharge pipes.
- Suction Line Installation:
- Ensure the suction line slopes upward to the pump inlet to prevent air pockets.
- Avoid sags in the pipe, as they can trap air and hinder priming.
- Foot Valve Installation:
- Install a foot valve of the same size as the suction pipe at the pipe’s inlet.
- Fill the foot valve with water to ensure it closes properly and does not leak.
- Screw the foot valve onto the suction pipe and lower it into the water.
- The foot valve should be at least one foot deep in the water to avoid cavitation (sucking air).
- The maximum vertical distance from the water surface to the pump’s inlet port should not exceed 25 feet.
- Pipe Connection:
- Add pipe to reach the pump, including a union close to the pump for ease of service.
- Ensure all joints in the suction pipe are airtight to prevent air leaks, which can prevent priming or operation.
- Discharge Pipe Installation:
- Install the discharge pipe as required, using Chart 1 for sizing.
- Install a tee (tail up, with a plug in the tail) close to the pump discharge port to allow for priming.
Important Notes
- Air-Tight Joints: All suction pipe joints must be airtight to ensure proper pump operation.
- Priming: The pump cannot prime or operate if there are air leaks in the suction pipe.
- Safety: Ensure the pump is installed in a safe location, away from human and livestock activity.
