11 Flexible Impeller Pumps General Introduction Jabsco original Flexible Impeller Pumps - Pedestal, Clutch & Engine Cooling How it works: When the flexible vanes again contact the eccentric cam they bend with a squeezing action which provides a continuous, uniform discharge of liquid. Flexible vanes create increased volume when leaving the eccentric cam creating a vacuum thus drawing in liquid, instantly priming the pump. As the flexible vanes rotate, the liquid is carried through the pump from the inlet to outlet port, each successive vane drawing in liquid.

Pressure Ranges • Versatile: The flexible impeller pump combines the priming feature of positive displacement type pumps with the general transfer ability of centrifugals. It will pump either thin or viscous liquids and can handle more solids in suspension than other types of rotary pumps. It operates at low or high speeds - can be mounted at any angle and pumps in either direction with equal efficiency. Standard Impellers • Self-Priming: Pumps instantly, with dry suction, lifts up to 10ft (3m); up to 25ft (8m) when wetted. Permits cleaner, safer installations. No foot valve required. • 1”...

11 Flexible Impeller Pumps Engine Cooling Introduction Keel Cooling In principle this is similar to a heat exchanger cooled system but raw water circuit and heat exchanger have been replaced by pipes attached externally to the vessel’s keel. Pipe bore and surface area must be adequate for effective dissipation of heat from the primary circuit to sea or river water. In some installations where, due to system pressure losses through keel pipes, cylinder block and exhaust manifold, the flow capacity of the centrifugal circulating pump is insufficient, a Jabsco pump may be used (flow capacity...

Safety Margins The raw water flow capacities indicated earlier are for diesel engine cooling systems and include a safety margin of some 30% to ensure adequate engine cooling under adverse operating conditions. As gasoline engines, unlike diesel engines, have a high heat rejection rate at idling speed, an increase in pumpflow capacity of some 10% at maximum rpm is recommended. While flow capacities can be affected by salt deposits or scale in pipes due to operation in tropical regions, seawater pollution or age and wear of pumps and systems in general, this is usually a gradual process with...

11 Flexible Impeller Pumps Engine Cooling Introduction Pump Selection Most proprietary marine engines are already fitted with specially adapted flange mounted Jabsco cooling pumps driven by gears or couplings of various descriptions. Diesel Engines Gasoline Engines Direct cooling: Increase diesel engine figures by about 10%. A belt drive from the crankshaft pulley will enable al most any standard foot mounted bronze Jabsco pump to be selected provided that the required cooling flow rate is obtained without operating the pump at excessive speeds (see also performance graphs). Global cooling...

Pump Drives Direct Drives Misalignment between pump and drive shafts is a common cause of pump failure. A flexible coupling is only “flexible” within limitations specified by the manufacturer. Excessive misalignment, particularly at high pump speeds, can cause noise, knocking, vibration, premature bearing failure, usually followed by pump leakage. Belt Drives The pump speed is determined by the engine pulley diameter and the need to maintain the pump pulley at a practical maximum size. Some engine crankshaft pulleys incorporate vibration dampening membranes resulting in large diameters at...
