In the last blog, we talked about vertical turbine pumps and their
basics. We discussed various features of these pumps, what they are, their
applications and their construction along with their limitations.
Although vertical turbine pumps are very popular for raw water
pumping, but they comes with their own limitations like – they require
dedicated pump house, are difficult to install, has limited operations during
monsoon, prone to frequent maintenance post monsoon, high spares &
maintenance cost, complicated & time consuming maintenance so on…
Add to this, at times Vertical turbine pumps cannot be used when they
are needed the most i.e. summer time. As water level goes down normal VT pumps
cannot be used & even if they are put to use somehow there is a huge risk
of abnormal wear & tear if raw water has any sand content.'
So, what do the modern day engineers do?
Live with these limitations or opt for peace of mind….
The answer lies in “Darling Pumps” - who has introduced a new
concept of - Submersible Vertical Turbine (SVT pumps).
Darling - SVT Series pumps are equipped for turbid raw water pumping.
They are an ideal replacement for conventional Vertical Turbine pumps &
stand good where consistent & mass water supply is to be made. These pumps
can be regularly seen in govt. water supply schemes / projects, Power
generation plants etc.
The SVT (submersible vertical turbine) pumps do not only contain
advanced features but also provide real value for money to its users. These
pumps are ideal for various applications and situations.
If we go on exploring the advantages of the submersible vertical
turbine pumps we discover that there are lots of them. Especially when we put
up a direct comparison between the conventional vertical turbine pumps and the
submersible vertical turbine series pumps, we understand why the latter is a
better choice.
Therefore to make you understand this better, we will be sharing a
detailed comparison between the two pumps, in the coming blogs.
The comparison would hold various basis including their cost,
assembly, shaft, bearing, disassembly, civil work, routine maintenance, spares
etc.
We think that the use of SVT (submersible vertical turbine) series
pump would majorly benefit the users in terms of time, cost as well as ease of
application.
