Side Channel - The problem solver
SUCTION LIFT APPLICATIONS
Self priming capability

Does not need vacuum pump to fill the pump before start-up
VAPORIZATION AND BIPHASIC LIQUID
Gas handling capability

Can operate even in case of gas content in the liquid (up to 40%)
BAD SUCTION CONDITIONS / CAVITATION
Low NPSH required

CEH pumps can operate with a NPSHa of 0.18m without cavitation

VARIABLE DISCHARGE CONDITIONS


Steep performance curves

Differential pressure variation needed with minimum lost of flowrate

Side Channel - Technology

The shape of the stage creates an elliptic


fluid movement contributing to its
pressurization.

• Liquid enters the suction intermediate


• Centrifuged by impeller to the outer section of
impeller cavity (side channel).

• The pressure of the liquid in the side channel


separates the gas; forcing the gas to the center
of the impeller axis.
• The gas is evacuated through a hole located
after the discharge orifice.

CONFIDENTIAL — FOR INTERNAL FLOWSERVE USE ONLY 10


Circulation of liquid inside a stage
Liquid circulation
• The liquid follows elliptical
movement
• Circulation creates
pressure.

operation even in

CONFIDENTIAL — FOR INTERNAL FLOWSERVE USE ONLY 12


Low NPSH – CEHA Side Channel Pumps

• The CEHA pump series is a


combined system side channel
pump.

• It is equipped with a low NPSH


centrifugal impeller placed before
the side channel stages.

• This NPSH inducer stage delivers


enough pressure to overcome the
entrance pressure loss of the first
side channel stage or the required
NPSH.

CONFIDENTIAL — FOR INTERNAL FLOWSERVE USE ONLY 13


Self priming capability
Self priming capability
• Ensures effective priming in
suction lift application
• Suction Lift
• LPG: 4 m (13 ft)
• Water: 5 m (16 ft)
• Requires initial fill to operate
properly

CONFIDENTIAL — FOR INTERNAL FLOWSERVE USE ONLY 14


Low NPSHR values
• Low NPSH impeller provides the capability to handle liquid in the worst suction
conditions.
• Inlet centrifugal impeller creates a low differential pressure (~6ft of head) to moving liquid
to the first stage
• Design avoids cavitation where inlet liquid level would become critical for other pump
types.

Installation with Installation with


CEH pumps other pump type

• The installation is simple and low cost .
