General
The side-channel pumps are selfpriming and operate more economically (better efficiency) than normal centrifugal pumps when handling low flows and high heads. Due to these facts, the side-channel pumps are appropriate to solve many pumping problems in chemical and petrochemical industries. They can be used for almost all liquids which are free of abrasive solids and of suitable viscosity. (Application limit for selfpriming design is 115 cSt). The vertical side-channel pumps are suitable especially for tank farms with underground storage tanks with a diameter of max. 2,5 m (8.2 ft). The design of the pumps allows an installation directly on the dome cover. That means, suction lift is only slightly above the tank diameter and the suction pipe can be kept short. The SMV-pumps are sealless execution with permanent magnetic coupling. No shaft duct to the atmosphere and no shaft sealing is available. The static containment shell forms a closed system with hermetically sealed liquid end. This design allows the leakage free conveying of toxic, flammable and other dangerous liquids in the chemical and petrochemical industry without contamination of the environment. The sealless maintenance free design improves the availability of the pump because 90% of pump failures are caused by leaking seals. Maximum allowable operating pressure for standard design 16 bar at 100°C (212°F).
