Introducing SVT (Submersible Vertical Turbine) Pumps

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.

6 Benefits of using Submersible Pumps

Submersible pump, as the name suggests, can be completely submerged in the liquid that needs to be pumped. The ability to be immersed in water differentiates a submersible pump from a standard pump. Basically a centrifugal pump, submersible pumps push water to the surface due to the rotation of impeller. Depending on their application, submersible pumps can further be categorized into grinder submersible pumps, sewage pumps, waste water pumps and more. Darling Pumps is a pioneer in of submersible pumps industry in India. Through their innovative pumping solutions and quality product line, Darling Pumps has set a benchmark in the market.

 

 If you are considering whether to invest in a submersible pump or not, here are few advantages of submersible pumps that you should know –

 1. Priming – Submersible pumps are self-primed; you do not have to do priming separately before use. Thus, you do not have to spend time or money in preparing the equipment and get more time for completing your project.

 2. Repair Costs – As submersible pumps contain a water tight unit that keeps water out of the pump housing. This eliminates chances of leakage or electric shorts due to live wire. Thus, repair time and costs are reduced considerably. 

 3. Efficiency – Submersible pumps are placed at the point where fluid meets the pump so efforts required for pumping the liquid are less.  

 4. Convenience – Submersible pumps are light in weight compared to other types of pumps. They are portable, easy to move around and install.

 5. Variety – There is a wide variety of submersible pumps available in the market. From pressure sewage pumps to septic tank pumps, you can easily find a submersible pump that suits your application. 

 6. Insulated Power Cords – Submersible pumps are usually placed under water or fluid. So they come with long and insulated power cords. 

Submersible pumps make an ideal choice for applications like slurry pumping, waste water pumping, dewatering and more.
