Construction
Submersible drainage pump as submersible monobloc unit for portable wet well installation.
Hydraulics
The outlets on the pressure side are designed as vertical threaded flange connections. Open multi-channel impellers are used as the impeller shape. A strainer is integrated at the hydraulics housing.
Motor
Surface-cooled motors or sheath flow-cooled motors in single-phase current version (with built-in operating capacitor) and three-phase current version for direct starting are used:
- Surface-cooled motors: The waste heat is given off directly to the surrounding fluid via the motor housing. These motors can operated immersed in continuous duty (S1) and non-immersed in short-time duty (S2) or intermittent periodic duty (S3).
- Sheath flow-cooled motors: The waste heat is transferred to the fluid via the motor housing. The motors can be used in immersed state and in non-immersed state for continuous duty (S1).
Furthermore the motors are equipped with thermal motor monitoring. This protects the motor windings against overheating. For units with single-phase AC motors this is built-in and switches automatically. I.e. if the motor is switched off due to overheating and then cools down it is automatically switched on again. Bimetallic strips are used for this as standard.
The connection cable has a length of 10 m as standard and is available in following versions:
- With bare cable ends
- With plug
- With float switch and plug
Pump with vertical float switch
The “VA” version is equipped with a vertical float switch. In this version, the switching level is preset by two floaters sitting on a threaded rod. It uses less space than conventional float switches and is perfect for use in tight manholes.
Seal
There is a sealing chamber between the motor and hydraulics. This is filled with medicinal white oil. The unit is sealed on the fluid and on the motor side by mechanical seals.
