What is a propeller?
The propeller pump is a high -flow device, low elevator, with a linear flow path. The propeller pump can be installed in vertical, horizontal or angular orientation and usually has an engine located above the water surface with orbital water. These pumps operate by drawing water into the outer cloak and from the discharge discharge over the head of the propeller carriage. The propeller pumps are used in installations of water, chemical plants or agricultural applications where high head values are not required. Compared to other common pump designs, they have several advantages such as large flow capacities, the ability to pump suspended sand and immediate operation. In these cases, the head applies to the total height of which the pump is able to move with water. These can be oriented vertically, horizontally or be tilted depending on a specific application. The vertical and angular pumps of the propeller usually have a power engine located above the water at the top of the tubular case. DrivingThe pump shaft is directed down to the head of the impeller at the bottom of the housing through the support bearings in the closed inner tube.
Theheadpike head is equipped with propeller style blades and can consist of one or more phases. The head of the cover head in which the impeller is located is usually equipped with a strainer that prevents large foreign objects. When the pump works, the rotating impeller attracts the water up and through the sloping drain pipe. The fact that the water moves in the straight line of the pump than in the circular direction is the most significant difference between the types of propellers and other types of stroller.
Installation of the horizontal propeller pump usually has a submerged, waterproof motors mounted directly behind the head of the impeller. These models are usually used where the pump is used to draw water over the wall of the tank or partition. Free floating pumpThe propeller dla are mobile units mounted on a purpose -built pontoon that can be moved around the water body if necessary. The angle pumps are often installed on tanks with steep inclined walls.
The propeller pump is usually a shallow pump with a depth of application rarely exceeding 100 feet (30 meters) with typical shaft depths ranging from 10 to 30 feet (3 to 9 meters). These types of pumps offer the advantage of high flows with larger examples capable of moving more than 50,000 gallons (190,000 liters) per minute. Do not have high head values; The diameter is between 20 and 40 feet (6 to 12 meters). The propeller pump also has several different advantages over other types of pump, including the volume of high streams, the ability to pump hung mud and a wide range of possible drive options. The fact that the head of the impeller is always submerged also means that the pumps may never be ready before use.
