Vertical Turbine Pump Introduction

A vertical turbine pump is a special centrifugal pump designed to draw water from a reservoir or well that is deep underground. It is one of the two major types of turbine pumps and it’s at times referred to as a line-shaft turbine pump or deep well turbine pump.

The two major types of turbine pumps are submersible turbine pumps and vertical turbine pumps. While the electric motor in a submersible pump is located underwater at the pump’s base, the motor in a vertical turbine pump is located above ground and it’s connected through a vertical shaft to the impellers at the base of the pump.

However, word “turbine” in the pump’s name is somewhat inappropriate because this type of pump doesn’t have anything to do with a turbine. Applications

The vertical turbine pump is primarily used in cases where a submersible pump cannot be used because the flow exceeds the range of turbines. These types of pumps are also used to supply water to municipalities that depend on ground water instead of surface water, and to supply fire water and make-up water for industrial plants.

How it Works

The vertical turbine pump is normally driven by an AC electric induction motor or a diesel engine via a right angle drive. The end of the pump consists of a rotating impeller that is joined to a shaft and guides the well water into a diffuser casing known as a bowl.

Pumps with multi-stage arrangements use several impellers on a single shaft to generate higher pressure that would be required for pumping water from deeper wells or where higher pressure (head) is required at ground level.

A vertical turbine pump works when water comes through the pump from the bottom through a bell-shaped device known as a suction bell. The water then moves into the first stage impeller, which increases the velocity of the water. The water then moves into the diffuser casing directly above the impeller, where the high velocity energy is transformed into high pressure. The diffuser casing also guides the fluid into the next impeller located directly above the diffuser casing. The process goes on through all the stages in the pump.

After leaving the diffuser casing, the water passes in a vertical column pipe and rises toward the surface. The rotating shaft within the column is propped at 3 to 5 foot intervals using sleeve bushings that are set within the column and they are lubricated by the water as it moves past them. The pump also has a discharge head at the surface which allows the flow to change direction toward the discharge pipe. An upright standing high thrust A.C. motor is fitted above the pump’s discharge head.

Wuhan Spico Machinery & Electronics Co., Ltd.（Hereinafter referred to as SPICO） is the Wuhan

office of  CNP NM Fire-fighting System Co.,Ltd (Hereinafter referred to as NM Fire). SPICO mainly resp-

onsible for product promotion，export declaration and foreign exchange collection of overseas orders.NM

Fire  is the subsidiary of Nanfang Zhongjin Environment Co.,Ltd, which islocated in Hunan Changsha

Economic and Technological Development Zone, mainly produceand sell Diesel engine &Motor fire pump

groups ,controllers and fire pumps which are in accordance with domestic & international standards and have

gotten related certifications .

With the help of multi-national engineers with more than 20 years of professional experience, the NMFIRE

technical team fully understands the technical requirements of fire fighting systems. They have overcome

difficulties, conquered technical aspects, created China's first in this industry and opened up a new market

for China's fire fighting research andtechnology.

The company’s mission is to protect the community fire safety, in line with the spirits of “integrity,

win-win”,glad to provide high cost-effective products and high-quality service for our customers.

Fire fighting is the last protection for life and property. These include strict technical, quality and testing requirements

for fire fighting equipment that are specified in the UL/FM product standard.

Under the premise of fully learning and understanding these standards, our company has invested huge sums of money

and energy in research and development of new products. Many innovative technologies have been developed through

product R&D. The pumps and diesel engines have reached the level of first class in the world. The research and

development of these two critical products has put an end to the long history in the domestic marketplace of taking

non-certified ordinary water pumps and diesel engines and using them in life safety applications. This has also completely

changed the domestic technology level of this industry and has allowed NM FIRE to lead the market

Start by meeting the customer obvious needs, follow by continuously deepening and exploring potential customer demand,

meanwhile, plant the philosophy into our soul.
