Configuration Of Vertical Turbine Pumps (VTP pumps)
VTP pumps, are engineered pumps typically configured as: a) Vertical Wet pit umps or b) Vertical suction barrel (can) pumps.
Most Vertical Turbine Pumps are built with customer specific features and for applications such as water pumping stations, deep wells, storm water service, industrial and cryogenic applications. The Vertical Turbine Pumps vary in hydraulic type and size, and can be of open shaft or enclosed shaft designs depending on the application.
See Picture below for typical configuration representations.
Some units will not require a column assembly. In such cases, the bowl assembly is connected directly to the discharge head. Vertical turbine pumps can have single or multiple stages.
