| The DH and DDH line pumps are horizontal, two stage between bearings with a radial split casing. Single (DH line) or double (DDH line) suction impellers are fully designed according to latest edition of API 610 std. A wide range of sizes and material combinations complete the variety of the offered product. Main design features, are: ■ DH pumps, with two single suction back to back impellers, to ensure the adeguate axial thrust balance. ■ DDH pumps, with a double suction 1 st. stage impeller, balanced by means of back wear ring on the 2nd stage impeller. ■ Suction and discharge nozzles, integrally cast with the casing, are normally arranged in top-top position, but side-top or side-side nozzle arrangements are available. ■ Ample balancing line from 2nd. stage to suction maintain stuffing box pressures within limits easily acceptable by any type of balanced mechanical seals. ■ Centerline casing mounting for high temperature stability. ■ Stiff shaft design. Rotor operates below 1 st critical speed. ■ Deep stuffing boxes designed in accordance to API 682 Std., suitable to accept any type of mechanical or packing seals. ■ Labyrinths and deflectors at either bearing housing to maximise protection against dirt. ■ Three bearings arrangements available: 1. Ball Radial / Ball Thrust 2. Sleeve Radial / Ball Thrust 3. Sleeve Radial / Tilting Pads Thrust (Kingsbury Type). |
