Criteria for the selection of the required class of a pump for a certain application may include reliability, required op
ambient conditions.
Close Impeller
Shaft deflection
Oil Seal
n application may include reliability, required operating life, operating conditions, environmental conditions, and local
Certain ETP Application is advice to have selection of Pump with Semi Open Impeller meeting ISO 2858 design
standard.
One Piece Ductile Iron Bearing Housing for Safety, Maximum Connectivity, Strength & Alignment
Since Seal housing is sandwich between adaptors and casing chance for damage the seal faces increases. Also
quenching area is compromised because of lesser seal cavity
Very much important factor, our understanding for KBL pump is having major issue during performance can
cause frequent failure.
Since pump use in refinery, Labyrinth Seal is preferred (as like API pump) instead of Lip seal/oil seal to avoid
source of ignition.
KBL's standard is vulnerable since as per their manual which attached herewith having standard design and
supplies with normal bearing only.
Axial Adjustment is prevented and no axial provision. Performance of pump will be at stake due to change of
clearance over period of time.
Observe some additional parts between seal housing & impeller which is not specified in ISO and can increase
possibility of leakage.
This is important factor. Some of the frame normal bearing is used, single bolted foot mounting at drive side
and due to 3 piece design chances of first critical speed will abnormally on higher side can cause pump
performance.
