New Vertical Multistage Pump
------------------------------------------------------------
ROCK HILL, SC - EBARA International Corporation (EIC) Standard
Pump Division announces the addition of a new vertical
multistage pump to its stainless steel product line. With
initial hydraulic coverage to 100 GPM and 800 feet TDH, the
Model EVMU is ideally designed for booster, water purification,
and hot water applications.
State of the art formed stainless steel and several proprietary
internal components makes the EBARA Model EVMU superior to
existing designs.
The EVMU material is between 50 to 100% thicker than all
current designs for a true industrial design with cast
stainless steel flanges for maximum installation support.
The splined shaft is custom designed with true squared edges
to eliminate sliding between close contact surfaces. The
EVMU is the only multistage pump currently available with
forged precision couplings that are key driven to both the
motor and pump shafts to ensure a positive connection and
drive.
With a unique casing cover design and vent connection
location, the EVMU seal chamber is positively vented
preventing seal damaging air pockets. Pump bearings and
sleeves are made of tungsten carbide with elastomers
selected for high temperature operation. The EVMU is
the only design fitted with a dish-shaped insert that
provides smooth flow and prevents accelerated erosion
in high velocity areas within stages. A floating liner
ring, constructed of proprietary materials, prevents
temperature swelling at high temperatures.
The EVMU is uniquely designed to eliminate pressure
deformation and leakage due to thermal expansion. The
EVMU (above 3HP) is equipped with an external thrust
bearing to absorb loads and eliminate the need for
non-standard motors.
Planned (U.S.) product availability is February 2000,
with additional sizes available later in 2000.
