PUMPS

VNG-ts-E pumps represent vertical sealed centrifugal pumps driven by asynchronous electric motors.

Applications:

VNG-ts pumps are designed for pumping hydrocarbons, neutral, aggressive, toxic, reactive, flammable and explosive liquids, vapors of which may form explosive mixtures with air, in stationary conditions. VNG-ts-E pumps are not designed for pumping crystallizing and polymerizing liquids. These pumps may be used at oil transportation and processing facilities at all stages of oil synthesis. VNG-ts-E pumps may be used for pumping fluids with hydrogen sulfide contents of up to 6%.

An electric pumping unit consists of a pump, a motor and a foundation slab. Each pump consists of suction and discharge housings with pipes holding the stages enclosed in a sleeve, fixed by pins and containing impellers and guide vanes.

VNG pump sealing along the shaft is ensured through the application of a magnetic coupling consisting of the leading and trailing coupling halves. The coupling halves contain fixed permanent magnets of a rare-earth metal alloy. The magnetic coupling ensures contactless torque transmission from the motor to the pump shaft. The coupling halves are separated by a thin-walled cup of a nonmagnetic material sealed with a rubber ring. The cup, heated in operation by eddy currents, is cooled by the flow of the liquid pumped, passing from a cavity in the discharge housing along the opening in the upper bearing and through the gap between the cup and the driven coupling half and then through the central opening in the pump shaft to the suction cavity of a final stage.

Radial and axial loads acting on the shaft are taken by the upper and lower bearing assemblies. Similarly to the cup, the bearings are cooled and lubricated by the pumped liquid.

The use of a magnetic coupling in VNG-ts-E sealed pump units offers the following advantages:

• minimum required maintenance (minimum requirement in operating personnel as maintenance of the seals and lubrication of assemblies are no longer required);

• proper sanitary and hygienic working conditions (no contact with the fluid, no requirement for lubrication);

• occupational safety in operation of any fluid (corrosive, toxic, with aggressive odors, flammable and explosive fluids);

• environmental safety (all leakages are prevented);

• journal bearings of silicon carbide (increased durability, reduced noise characteristics, lubrication and cooling by the fluid);

• no contact seals or mechanical contact between the inner and outer coupling halves of the magnetic coupling (the pumps are virtually free from any mechanical wear);

• sterility of the product pumped (no contact between the pumped fluid and external systems).
