CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS- SPLIT CASE PUMPS
** Many of Forte Fluid Systems Centrifugal Pumps are a combination of multiple Centrifugal Pump types. For example and End Suction Pump (Between Bearing) that has a Closed Impeller. **
– improves shaft support and wear
– identical forces on both sides of the impeller thus eliminating thrust forces due to pressure imbalances
The PWR-D BB2 is a radial split between bearings pump offered in either one or two stages. This center line mounted pump has two heads to allow disassembly without disturbing the driver. It is designed for reliable operation in heavy-duty elevated temperature process services.
ADVANTAGES
– suction and discharge piping are parallel to each other
on opposite side of the pump
– easier maintenance
DISADVANTAGES
– more expensive
