applications
For irrigation intake stations, state demand, pumping water level, source quality and seasonal operating range. Check the proposed arrangement against vertical intake arrangement with the driver accessible above the water and casing, propeller and shaft materials selected for water chemistry, then verify the operating point on the selected model curve.
For large-volume water transfer, check the applicable product curve, liquid properties, required operating point and installation geometry. Check the proposed arrangement against vertical intake arrangement with the driver accessible above the water and casing, propeller and shaft materials selected for water chemistry, then verify the operating point on the selected model curve.
For low-head pumping stations, check the applicable product curve, liquid properties, required operating point and installation geometry. Check the proposed arrangement against vertical intake arrangement with the driver accessible above the water and casing, propeller and shaft materials selected for water chemistry, then verify the operating point on the selected model curve.
