Design of the pump according to the installation Advantages: adaptable to a selection of drivers and drive methods Disadvantages: space requirement precise alignment of driver and pump is necessary cost of baseplate, coupling and guard

Baseplated pumps

Close coupled pumps

Advantages: reduced space construction requirement due to compact

no alignment of pump and driver is necessary no baseplate, coupling or guard is necessary Disadvantages: limited to drive by electric motor, up to a power of approx. 45 kW Inline Pumps Advantages: direct installation in the pipeline is possible, so minimal space requirement no alignment of pump and driver is necessary no baseplate, coupling or guard is necessary Disadvantages: limited to drive by electric motor, up to a power of approx. 45 kW Multistage Pumps Advantages: installation with piping from almost all directions secondary discharge from one of the stages possible accessories such as instrumentation, lubrication and seal flushing on the base plate possible special high temperature installations with feet in plane of axis

Vertical pumps (multi)

Advantages: minimum space requirement for multistage pumps no alignment of pump and driver is necessary no baseplate, coupling or guard is necessary Disadvantages: limited to drive by electric motor, up to a power of approx. 55 kW

Vertical pumps

Advantages: direct installation in the container or sump is possible , so minimal space requirement suction and delivery line not necessary easy installation ready for operation Disadvantages: given adequate submersion its immediaetly ready for operation driver must be above flood height

Submersible pumps

Advantages: direct installation in the sump is possible suction and delivery line not necessary given adequate submersion its immediately ready for operation special pump house not required Disadvantages: special submersible driver is required operating temperature limited to 40 to 50 C

108

Underwater pumps

Advantages: installation in narrow and deep boreholes possible without special drive arrangement can be installed directly in pipeline as a booster pump Disadvantages: limited applications

Sump pumps

Advantages: direct installation in the container or sump is possible connections in the base of the container are not necessary removing safety problems for certain fluids suction and delivery line not necessary given adequate submersion its immediately ready for operation Disadvantages: limited installation length fluids with abrasive solids content require a special construction (cantilever) due to the inner bearing design

Canned pumps

Advantages: by varying the can length and therefore the pump length, the suction head is varied increasing the value of (NPSHA) even with poor suction conditions, no booster pump is nessary, increasing realiability Disadvantages: higher capital and installation costs
