VPC

Double Case Pumps

The VPC vertical turbine, double casing pump is a diffuser type, single or multistage design for services with limited NPSH available. Flowserve VPC pumps are one of the world’s most comprehensive lines of mixed-flow, diffuser-style, double-case vertical turbine pumps. Available in single or multistage construction, as well as standard and ISO 13709/API 610- compliant designs, VPC pumps incorporate the proven hydraulics of the Flowserve VTP vertical turbine, wet-pit pump into a double-casing configuration. They are designed for continuous duty applications and are particularly well suited for services with limited NPSH available. Multiple design configurations and broad hydraulic coverage ensure you get a cost-effective solution that precisely meets your application requirements.

Operating Parameters

  • Flows to 500 m³/h (2200 gpm) for radial hydraulics; to 3000 m³/h (13200 gpm) for mixed flow hydraulics
  • Heads to 2000 m (6560 ft) for radial hydraulics; to 600 m (1950 ft) for mixed flow hydraulics
  • Pressures to 200 bar (2900 psi) for specific radial hydraulics; to 64 bar (930 psi) for specific mixed flow hydraulics
  • Temperatures from -200°C (-328°F) up to 350°C (660°F)

Features and Benefits

  • WUC is the ultimate double case vertical pump
  • The WUC covers the highly engineered specialty end of Flowserve’s family of double casing vertical pumps
  • This pump line is based on a modular system, thus providing maximum design and operating flexibility
  • This is combined with specific design features, including stiff shaft construction, a self-contained axial thrust bearing housing and pressure containing parts certified to various international standards
  • This makes the WUC to the pump of choice for most critical applications where space considerations or marginal NPSHa values preclude the use of a horizontal pump
  • Special designed WUC pumps are capable to handle cryogenic liquids (like Methane, Ethylene, LNG, LPG, etc.) down to -200°C (-328°F)
  • For exceptionally low NPSHa applications the WUC can be equipped with an inducer; double suction impellers are available for selected hydraulics
  • The full API 610 compliant WUC will be engineered to customer specifications, is designed to meet all material requirements and will perfectly meet the selected service conditions

APKD

The double case APKD features an innovative, double suction impeller in a true twin-volute design that produces more flow and higher head at lower NPSHR and can operate at higher speeds than conventional vertical turbine pump models.
