Product catalog summary
Overview: The Aurora 130 Series Single Stage Turbine Type Pumps are designed for low flow and moderate to high-pressure applications. They offer capacities up to 50 G.P.M., heads up to 700 feet, and can handle temperatures up to 212°F. These pumps are known for their efficiency, versatility, and ability to handle gases and vapors, preventing vapor lock.
Key Features:
  • Economical design with end-mounted, close-coupled configuration and single mechanical seal.
  • Available in 3500 RPM or 1750 RPM operating speeds.
  • Self-priming feature available in Model 133.
  • Steep head curves with near-constant capacity over wide head variations.
  • Field convertible for right or left-handed operation in Models 134 and 135.
Construction and Materials:
  • Standard construction includes bronze-fitted components, hydraulically balanced bronze impeller, and 416 stainless steel shaft.
  • Optional materials include all iron, bronze ring, all bronze construction, ductile iron or stainless steel impeller, and 316 stainless steel or Monel® shaft.
Principles of Operation: Turbine pumps use a regenerative mechanism with impeller buckets that impart energy to the liquid through centrifugal and shearing actions. This design allows for high heads and efficient operation at low flows, making them suitable for handling boiling liquids and liquefied gases.
Performance Data: The document provides detailed performance charts for various models, indicating GPM, horsepower, and total dynamic head at different RPMs. It emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate pump based on specific requirements and checking performance curves for final selection.
Engineering Specifications: The pumps are designed to meet specific engineering requirements, including capacity, total head, and temperature. They are constructed with high-strength materials and tested prior to shipment to ensure reliability and performance.
Limitations:
  • Maximum differential pressure and casing pressure are based on standard materials and laboratory tests.
  • Pumps should not exceed specified limitations for pressure, temperature, and mechanical seal capabilities.
Notes: The document includes dimensional data, weight specifications, and installation guidelines. It also notes that specifications are subject to change without notice as part of continuous product improvement.

SINGLE STAGE TURBINE TYPE PUMPS Single Stage Turbine Type Pumps Capacities to 50 G.P.M. Heads to 700 Ft. Temperatures to 212°F A Pioneer in Turbine Pump Design Aurora consistently offers the ultimate in turbine pump design. The regenerative turbine pump offers many advantages in the area of low flow and moderate to high pressure. A turbine pump is efficient under low flow, high-pressure conditions and delivers a steady stream of liquid free from pressure pulsations. There is no metal-tometal contact existing within the operating parts of a turbine pump channel. Turbine pumps have solved many...

Single Stage Close Coupled Regenerative Turbine Pumps-4

SINGLE STAGE TURBINE TYPE PUMPS Principles of Operation Turbine pumps derive their name from the many buckets machined into the periphery of the rotating impeller. They have long been recognized for their effectiveness in the areas of low flow, high head application. The turbine pump offers higher heads than centrifugal pumps. Because the head capacity curve is steep in a turbine pump, a greater degree of flexibility is available to the engineer. Turbine pumps having top centerline discharge are self-venting and have the ability to handle vapors without vapor lock. This characteristic allows...
