Practical consideration of pump is not a static aliment of piping system but a precision machine comprising a movin

- precision sealing aliments, such as much seal

Criteria for the selection of the required class of a pump for a certain application may include reliability, required op
ambient conditions.

Single Bolted Support Foot

Close Impeller

KPD pump is having adaptor design

Sandwich Stuffing Box

Shaft deflection

Oil Seal

For Frame 5 & 7 , Reinforced Bearing


@ Drive end by Request

Non Adjustable Bearing carrier


Stuffing Box Bush

First Critical speed


em but a precision machine comprising a moving part running at high speed with a minimum clearance and processing high

n application may include reliability, required operating life, operating conditions, environmental conditions, and local

Unreliable and shall cause of heavy Vibration.

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.
