Viking Pump - Form391_rev A - Wind Power Lubrication

Product catalog summary

Overview
Viking Pump, a unit of IDEX Corporation, specializes in custom lubrication solutions for wind turbines, aiming to optimize efficiency, reduce complexity, and minimize investment. Their pumps are designed for high reliability and durability, even in demanding climate conditions, with a lifespan that matches or exceeds that of the wind turbines they serve.

Key Features

Thousands of trouble-free pumps installed for wind power lubrication.
Designed for a 20+ year economic life.
Lower life cycle costs and unsurpassed durability.
Direct drive or custom drive configurations available.

Case Study
A wind turbine manufacturer required a direct drive lube pump with bi-directional flow and special porting. Viking developed a custom solution using a catalog pump as a base, adding a reversing head and helical gear direct drive, resulting in increased reliability and reduced maintenance costs.

Product Range and Capabilities

Capacity: 0.5 to 360 M³/Hr (0.1 to 1600 GPM).
Pressure: 0 to 172 Bar (0 to 2500 PSI).
Temperature: -40°C to 370°C (-40°F to 700°F).
Viscosity: 0.5 to 1,000,000 cSt (28 to 4,500,000 SSU).

Sealing and Material Options
Viking offers a range of sealing solutions including packing, mechanical seals, and Mag Drive technology. Material options range from cast iron to Alloy C, tailored to extend pump life and reduce maintenance.

Viking Pump - Form391_rev A - Wind Power Lubrication-3

A prominent wind turbine manufacturer needed a direct drive lube pump designed to lubricate the turbine when driven either direction and had special porting requirements. Existing smaller turbine design required two lube oil pumps: one directly driven off the gearbox with one direction flow and a second electric driven pump to lube when the turbine back milled. Viking used a catalog pump as basis element for the lube pump. Then a reversing head and a helical gear direct drive arrangement was designed to provide bi-directional flow inside a custom housing with a face ported inlet and NPT outlet....
