marine horizontal vortex booster pump with stainless steel

Marine horizontal vortex booster pump is a kind of high head, small flow rate pump equipment, designed for marine systems, suitable for transferring clean liquids or slightly corrosive media.

Description

With its compact design and excellent performance, the marine horizontal vortex booster pump is especially suitable for applications requiring high head or pressurization, such as ship fuel oil delivery, boiler water supply, and liquid pressurization.

1. Working Principle

  1. The pump generates high-speed vortex movement by rotating the impeller, repeatedly accelerating and pressurizing the liquid in the pump body cavity before discharge.
  2. Multiple pressurization cycles enable higher head output for demanding applications.
  3. Impeller features multiple small vanes for reduced flow losses and increased efficiency.
  4. Horizontal structure makes installation and maintenance easy, with the pump shaft parallel to the horizontal plane.

2. Features

  1. Structure Design
    • Horizontal arrangement: ideal for limited shipboard installation space, direct connection to piping system.
    • Single-stage vortex impeller for high head output.
    • Optimized worm casing design for improved efficiency and stability.
  2. Performance Characteristics
    • High head at low flow, meeting high pressure demands.
    • Low energy consumption due to efficient design.
    • Good self-priming ability; no auxiliary equipment needed for startup.
  3. Stable Operation
    • Strong anti-cavitation ability for low-pressure liquid transport.
    • Low vibration and noise thanks to optimized fluid dynamics.

3. Technical Parameters

  1. Pump body: Cast iron, stainless steel
  2. Impeller: Stainless steel
  3. Seal: Mechanical seal

4. Application Scenarios

  1. Marine Applications
    • Fuel oil transfer for ship supply systems
    • Boiler water supply system for high pressure clean water
    • Cooling water system for pressurized cooling circuits
    • Seawater pressurization for desalination or spraying systems
  2. Industrial Scenarios
    • Chemical pressurization for light corrosive liquids
    • High-pressure cleaning for hull or pipeline cleaning
    • Other small flow, high head demand processes

5. Performance Advantages

  1. High head performance: Special vortex working principle provides strong pressure even under small flow.
  2. Strong durability: Corrosion-resistant materials extend service life for seawater and fuel oil applications.
  3. Convenient installation: Horizontal design fits narrow ship spaces and is easy to maintain.
  4. Energy saving and high efficiency: Precision impeller and worm gear design reduce energy consumption and enhance efficiency.

6. Maintenance and Upkeep

  1. Regularly check impeller for damage or scaling; clean or replace as needed.
  2. Lubricate bearings periodically to prevent wear.
  3. Inspect mechanical seals; replace if aged or damaged.
  4. Clean pump chamber to prevent impurity accumulation.
  5. Inspect motor wiring and monitor for abnormal vibration or noise.

7. Safe Use Recommendations

  1. Avoid dry running: Ensure sufficient liquid in the pump chamber before operation.
  2. Choose suitable seal and material according to the medium to prevent corrosion and leakage.
  3. Install overload protection devices to prevent damage from overpressure or overload operation.
