Side-channel pump WPV

fuelwaterelectric

Product description
The WPV is a single-stage, self-priming side-channel pump designed for vertical installation with opposing suction and discharge ports (inline). Side-channel pumps combine self-priming capability and a high pressure factor, making them more economical than standard centrifugal pumps when handling low flow rates against relatively high pressures. The shaft is supported by a rolling bearing and the atmosphere is sealed by chambered O-rings. The electric motor is directly mounted, eliminating the need for an additional mechanical coupling.

Applications

• Ship technology / marine
• Refueling equipment & aviation
• Tank storages / tank farms
• Renewable energy / environmental engineering

Notes
* Higher pressures and temperatures available on request
** Values depend on size and speed
