HI Vertical Pump Types and Nomenclature — 2000 2.1.3.1 Deep well (lineshaft) This type of vertical pump is commonly installed in a drilled and cased well. Its function is to lift liquid (usu- ally water) from the water level in the well to the sur- face and provide a specified discharge pressure at the surface (see Figure 2.4). The pumping element con- sists of a single or multistage bow! assembly and is located below the lowest liquid level. The bow! bear- ings are usually lubricated by the pumped liquid, The column pipe and lineshaft assembly is either an open type product lubricated assembly or enclosed type oil or external liquid lubricated assembly. The column pipe is supported at the surface by a discharge head. The discharge head directs the water from vertical to horizontal flow and also supports a driver. A shaft seal- ing arrangement is contained within the discharge head. This type of pump is sel-oriming, 2.1.3.2 Wet pit, short setting or close-coupled (lineshaft) This type of vertical pump usually is suspended in a wet pit. See Figures 2.4 and 2.7. The pumping ele- ‘ment can be fitted with a bow! assembly of any desired specific speed. Normally the bow! assembly bearings are product-lubricated; however, they can be force- lubricated by grease, water or other lubricants. The column pipe assembly supports the bowl assembly and houses a lineshaft. The lineshaft bearings are usually open type, productubricated. However, enclosed type lineshaft, force-feed lubrication with oil, grease or water may also be supplied. A shaft sealing arrangement is contained within the discharge head ‘on product-lubricated pumps. This type of pump is self-priming. 24.3.3 Barrel or can (lineshaft) This type of pump is mounted in an enclosed container, (barre! or can) and generally is used in booster appli- cations and where inadequate suction pressure condi- tions exist (see Figure 2.6). The can pump contains the same pumping elements and column pipe as the ‘wet pit type pumps. The lineshaft bearing assembly is almost always product-lubricated. The discharge head Performs the same functions as the wet pit head except the base is sealed to atmosphere. Liquids other than water are commonly pumped by this type of ump. This type of pump is very effective where inade- quate system NPSH is available. Additional NPSH isHI Vertical Pump Tests and Nomenclature — 2000 created by extending the pump.can length and bow! assembly to create additional submergence (suction head). 2.1.3.4 Submersible This type consists of an electric drive motor coupled directly to the bowl assembly. See Figure 2.5. The driv- ing “submersible type" motor and bowl assembly are designed to be submerged in the liquid pumped. The pumping element usually is of the turbine bowl design: however, mixed flow and propeller types are also avail- able. This type of unit is normally used in wells and occasionally for wet pit or canned booster service. 2.1.4 Classification by configuration Listed below are the general configurations that describe verticat pumps. 2.1.4.1 Mounting, above and below floor discharge Vertical pump bowls discharge the pumped liquid into ‘a column, which takes it to the discharge. ‘There are two basic types of pump discharge configu- rations. Pumps with above floor discharge (see Figure 2.7) and pumps with below floor discharge (see Figure 2.9). The driver is mounted above the floor in both, 2 .2 Hollow/solid shaft driver ‘The hollow shaft drivers (see Figures 2.4 and 2.9) have the top section of the head shaft installed inside the tubular hollow driver shaft. The coupling of the head shaft to driver is arranged on top of the motor and has a provision for axial lineshaft adjustment. Standard dimensions for the coupling are shown in Figure 2.11 ‘The solid shaft driver (see Figures 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8) is coupled to the lineshatt by an axially adjustable rigid coupling. The coupling is installed below the driver on the extended driver shaft 2 3 Openienclosed impeller A typical semi-open impeller (see Figures 2.4 and 2.10) has a back shroud, with integral impeller vanes, but the vanes are open to the front (no front shroud). ‘The leakage control is adjustable between the impeller vane and seat, This is achieved by positioning the impeller shaft axially for close impeller vane-to-bow! seat clearance. The enclosed impeller (see Figures 2.4 and 2.10) has both @ back shroud and a front shroud. Leakage con- trol is limited. 2.1.44 Openienciosed lineshaft With open lineshaft pumps (see Figure 2.4), the pump shafting is exposed to the pumped liquid, which also Cools and lubricates the lineshaft bearings, Enclosed lineshaft pumps (see Figure 2.4) have the lineshaft protected from the pumped liquid by the shaft enclosing tube. The lineshaft bearings may be lubri- cated by fresh water, cil, or some other liquid injected into the enclosing tube at the ground or floor level. 24.5 Classification by impeller design 2 1 Specific speed Specific speed is a number usually expressed as: = CAycays NS == Aya Where: NS = Pump specific speed; Pump speed in revolutions per minute; Q = Rate of flow at best efficiency in cubic ‘meters per hour (gallons per minute); Hyg = Bowl assembly head per stage in meters (feet) (full diameter impeller), The specific speed of an impeller is defined as the rev- lutions per minute at which a geometrically similar impeller would run if it were of such a size as to dis charge 1 mfr versus 1m head (one gallon per minute against one foot head). Specific speed is indicative of the shape and charac- teristics of an impeller (see Figure 2.2). Specific ‘speed is useful to the designer in establishing design parameters. Impeller form and proportions vary with specific ‘speed, as shown in Figure 2.3. It can be seen that there is a gradual change in the profiles from radial to axial flow configuration. i es24.5.2 Radial flow Pumps with this type of impeller have very low specific, speeds (up to approximately 1,150 [1,000}). The liquid enters the eye of the impeller and is turned by the impeller vanes and shroud to exit perpendicular to the axis of the pump shaft. 2.1.5.3 Modified radial flow This type of pump usually has specific speed ranging from around 1,150 to 4,850 (1,000 to 4,000). The impellers are normally single suction. In pumps of this type, the liquid enters the impeller at the eye and exits semi-radially, at about a 60° to 70° angle with shaft axis (see Figure 2.8). 2 4 Mixed flow This type of pump has a single inlet impeller with the flow entering axially and discharging about 45° with shaft axis, to the periphery. Pumps of this type usually have a specific speed from 4,650 to 10,000 (4,000 to 9,000) (see Figure 2.8). 2 5 Axial flow ‘A pump of this type, also called a propelier pump, has a single inlet impeller with the flow entering axially and discharging nearly axially. Pumps of this type usually have a specific speed above 10,000 (9,000). The axial flow pump propeller does not have a shroud (see Fig- ure 2.9). 24.6 General information 2.1.6.1 Duplicate performance pump ‘A duplicate pump is one in which the performance characteristics are the same as another, within the variations permitied by these standards, and parts are of the same type; but by reason of improved design and/or materials, mounting dimensions and parts are not necessarily interchangeable. HI Vertical Pump Types and Nomenclature — 2000 2.1.6.2. Dimensionally interchangeable pump An interchangeable pump is one in which the mount- ing dimensions are such that the replacement pump can be mounted on the existing foundation and match existing piping and driver, with hydraulic characteris- tics and materials to be specified. Interchangeabilty may involve some variation, not necessarily significant, a8 a result of manufacturing tolerances. 2.4.6.3 Identical pump ‘An identical pump is a duplicate of, and in addition is interchangeable with, a specific pump. Where it is intended that a pump is to,be identical in all respects, including parts, mountings, connecting flange dimen sions, and materials, it should be identified as identical with pump serial number XXXXX, not duplicate. An “identical pump” will duplicate the original pump as closely as manufacturing tolerances allow. 2.1.6.4 Rotation Pump shaft rotation is determined as viewed from the driver end of the pump. Left-hand threaded lineshaft joints will tighten when driven by @ counterclockwise (CCW) driver. Right-hand threaded joints will tighten when driven by @ clockwise (CW) driver. 2.1.6.5 Construction ‘The cross-sectional drawings (Figures 2.4 through 2.10) illustrate commonly used parts in their proper relationship and a few typical construction modifica- tions but do not necessarily represent recommended design. ‘The figure numbers shown in Figure 2.1 are for conve- nent cross-reference between tabulated names of parts and cross-sectional representation of standard part numbers in use by any manufacturer.HI Vertical Pump Tests and Nomenclature — 2000 _ Lineshaft [ Figure 2.4 Vertical Pumps: L Submersible (Figure 2.5) Open lineshatt Open lineshaft r (Figure 2.7 and 2.8) Closed lineshaft Open lineshatt [ Closed lineshaft (Figure 2.9) Figure 24) Deep wel (Figure 2.4) | Enclosed tineshatt ~ (Figure 2.4) Above floor — discharge (Figure 2.7 setting and 2.8) (Figure 2.7, | Below floor 2.8and2.9) | Giccharge (Figure 2.9) Barrel | Figure 2.6) orcan zt (Figure 2.6) L_ Suotion nozzle (Figure 2.6) Well _ Open pit pre Barel Short __ mounting setting Horizontal L indine mounting Figure 2.1 — Vertical pump types ~ single and multistageHI Vertical Pump Types and Nomenciature — 2000 , =F | an os FLU pf ttt i] Ly | | It] | rH PLE | | | | = 20 || | / = 1 & Gi a * | & i & S | 32 3 8 gy 8 3 3 2 100 20 3 3s 8 Lf |i ttt é eee Ft [input Power || S$ boy e 5 ri t4T TT = o > —} 100 i |__| Jimpetter rr | Profile | | Fig. 23 Slbabt Ea E J! ; ° 50 100 150 Rate of flow - % of design (BEP) Figure 2.2 — Pump characteristic curves Ns Saaivs Matic US unis Wiis USunts 1 se 500 . 3485 3000 > 1160 1000 A 800 5000 sco 2000 11800 1900 .on of impeller profiles for various specific speed designsHI Vertical Pump Tests and Nomenclature — 2000 Semi-open impeller Sa open tineshatt hollow shaft driver i Enclosed impelier enclosed lineshaft hollow shaft driver Bypass ports Figure 2.4 — Deep well pumps ean 10 12 7 29 39 40 55 63 64 66 70 7 79 83 84 85 101 103 183, 185 187 189 191 193 197 199 203 209 an Impeller Shaft, pump.

Symbols, terms and units are shown, in Table 2.2 and subscripts in Table 2.3. 2.2.4 Rate of flow (Capacity) (Q) ‘The rate of flow of a pump is the total volume through- put per unit of time at suction conditions. It includes both liquid and any dissolved or entrained gases at the stated operating conditions. 2.2.2 Speed (n) ‘The number of revolutions of the shaft in a given unit of, time. Speed is expressed as revolutions per minute. 22.3 Head (h) Head is the expression of the energy content of the liq- Lid referred to any arbitrary datum. It is expressed in units of energy per unit weight of liquid. The measuring unit for head is meters (feet) of liquid. 2.2.3.4 Gauge head (h,) The energy of the liquid due to its pressure above atmospheric as determined by a pressure gauge or other pressure measuring device. Py (metic) hy = go 2381p, (US units) A, 2 5 2.2.32 Velocity head (hy) The kinetic energy of the liquid at a given cross- section. Velocity head is expressed by the following equation: Sls Where: v = rate of flow divided by the cross-section area at the point of gauge connection. 2.2.3.3 Elevation head (Z) ‘The potential energy of the liquid due to its elevation relative to datum level measured to the center of the pressure gauge or liquid level 2.2.3.4 Datum ‘The pump’s datum is a horizontal plane which serves, as the reference for head measurements taken during test. Vertical pumps are usually tested in an open pit with the suction flooded. The datum is then the eye of the first stage impeller (see Figure 2.12). Optional tests can be performed with the pump. mounted in a suction can. Irrespective of pump mount- ing, the pump's datum is maintained at the eye of the first stage impeller. 2.2.3.5 Total suction head (h,), open suction For open suction (wet pit) installations, the first stage impeller of the bowi assembly is submerged in a pit. “The total suction head (h,) at datum is the submer- gence in meters (feet) of water (Z,). The average velocity head of the flow in the pit is small enough to be neglected! Vertical distance in meters (feet) from free water surface to datum. 2.2.3.6 Total suction head (h,), closed suction For closed suction installations, the pump suction noz- zle may be located either above or below grade level. “The total suction head (h), referred to the eye of the first stage impeller, is the algebraic sum of the suction gauge head (hq) plus the velocity head (h,q) at point ff gauge attachment plus the elevation (Z,) from the ‘suction gauge centerline (or manometer zero) to the pump datum: hig = Ings * Hye * Ze The suction head (h,) is positive when the suction gauge reading is above atmospheric pressure and negative when the reading is below atmospheric pres- ‘sure by an amount exceeding the sum of the elevation head and the velocity head. 19HI Vertical Pump Tests and Nomenclature — 2000 ‘Sun oL90U = SHUN SN x 20132} UOISIOAYOD y wnyep mojeqI0 svoro | ow 89} w sojow anoge eoueisip aBne6 uonensia |Z t ‘uou auou ouou uou wousdea x av0c'0 ash puosesea} shu puooasyieiaus Ayo010n y ose wat 390}-punod wn | sejew—vowen, anbioL (ney) 8g x (2e-da) de yeyueuyes soai6ep 2. snisjag seai6ap eimesodwia, 1 j L _ ‘ssejUolsuewIp - ‘SsajuoIsuaWiIp AnesB oyloeds s - ssojuoisuowsp 5 ssejuo|suousp poods oyjoads uowong = |S 209 guia) — | 00} 1@nosseu punod | uy — | seyoui ayqnopwesBonn fysuag (ow) 6 = s80ju0|SUOUIP = ssojuoisuowip ones jopow se9ur wl zo wid ainujwysuoye6 sn |g anoypayau 91qno (Ayoedeo) moy jo aey, } ye LOL 988/. puosasjoay a1qno gut anoypiayaui 91909 | (Ayoedea) moy jo oe b Lsvl'0 dy semodasioy, | emo} 49Mod ) 4 560'9 isd \ou a1enbsyspunod eat rrosedo) aunssald 4 L s80]U0|SU0Up = ssajuoisuewip ouie = x o06'z6 asi pucdesypazenbs 199} sj — | oesjpasenbs serous Aysoosta snewoun (ru) zort | = ‘sse|uo!suewip = ssouoisuawip =| y¢Hie,U= SN pacds oyjoads, sn epoe'o | u | ye) w Jojo pauinbay peey uoyons anjisod }oN| HSdN sroe'0 u 120} w soya aigetene peoy uonons onysod yen) vHSaN L was ‘nuwysuognyonas wd synujwysuognjones poods u | gvoe'o u yee} w Jao ‘YL ORES i) gr0e'O ¥ yy we Jaye peey [EOL H ‘er0e0 u 123) w Jaya pesH 4 wa 30} s1anajspunod qubion oueds (ewes) 4 8y0e'0 asi puooas/puoses/aa} su puodes/pucoas/ie}aul uojesejaqoe feuoneyinesg) 6 t | qusaued % sored fous (eye) 1 ssojuoisuouip = ss9juo|suoWip aousreyia (exp) v sz u seyoul wu jou sojoureia a 4 ssojuoisueuip = ssojuorsuowp ones e0yo 40 s8101N (e100) d zsva ui! sayul a1enbs uu sojouu axenbs aly v owe | vonemaigay | wun Aewoisng sn | uonemesqay yun oe wel, joquiks { uoissenuog { ‘ABojouwe} pur sjoquiks — Zz e14eL, 20HI Vertical Pump Definitions, Terminology and Symbols — 2000 2.2.3.7 Pump total discharge head (hy) © The total discharge head (hg) is the sum of the dis- charge gauge head (hyq) measured afer the dis- charge elbow plus the velocity head (h,s) at the point of gauge altachment plus the elevation (Z,) from the discharge gauge centerline to the pump datum, lig = gg * Pg * 2g 2.2.3.8 Pump total head (H) This is the measure of energy increase per unit weight of the liquid, imparted to the liquid by the pump, and is the difference between the total discharge head and the total suction head.

With pumps having built-in thrust bearing, the power delivered to the pump shaft coupling is equal to the pump input power. With pumps that rely on the driver thrust bearing, the thrust bearing loss shall be added to the power delivered to the pump shaft. It is also called brake horsepower. 2.2.6.3 Bowl assembly input power (Ppa) ‘The power delivered to the bowl assembly shaft. 2.2.6.4 Pump output power (Py) “The power imparted to the liquid by the pump. Itis also called water horsepower. ~ OxHxs (Metric) Py = PEERS QxHxs (US units) P, = PAERS 2.2.6.5 High-energy pumps High-energy pumps are defined as those above a cer- tain energy level. (One parameter used in determining energy level is the total head and the density (specific gravity) of the pumped liquid. The other parameter is pump specific speed, which defines pump and impeller geometry in relative terms. Specific speed is used in conjunction with developed head and specific gravity to effectively define “high energy while avoiding the many variables involved in other specific design and application parameters. By using these terms and relating them to general pump operating experience, a measure of high-energy versus low-energy pumps is defined and graphically represented, This definition, as represented in Figures 2.13 and 2.14, shows that high-energy pumps can be of low specific speed design, with relatively high total head, or of high specific speed design with relatively low total head, The curve separating low- and high- ‘energy pumps is of nearly constant energy level. It is not a definitive separating line, but rather a broad band land pumps falling close to this line — on either side — might be considered as low or high energy. 2.2.6.6 Overall efficiency (Nox) This is the ratio of the energy imparted to the liquid (Py) by the pump to the energy supplied to the motor (Prat; that i, the ratio of the water horsepower to the power input to the motor expressed in percent. 2.2.6.7 Pump efficiency (np) ‘The ratio of the pump output power (P,) to the pump input power (P,); that is, the ratio of the water horse- power to the brake horsepower expressed in percent.
