Bottom Intake Submersible Pump

P U M P OVE RVI EW

ClydeUnion S&N Pumps bottom intake submersible pumps are

water and propylene-glycol filled pumps that feature a compact,
high-efficient, corrosion-resistant pump design that functions in low
water levels. The pump has the technical features of a submersible
pump with the benefits of a line shaft pump offering the offshore oil
and gas industry secure, reliable, and long-lasting seawater handling
capabilities.

FEATU R E S

The structure of the ClydeUnion S&N Pumps bottom intake pump

is equivalent to an inverted submersible motor pump. All pump
casing parts are zinc-free bronze with heavy-duty and high efficiency
nickel-aluminum bronze impellers as a standard. The single stage or
multi-stage pump incorporates double silicon-carbide mechanical
shaft sealing for environmental safety and tilting axial thrust bearings
and guarantees high thrust absorption. The stator shroud is zinc-free
bronze. The pump incorporates a (ZFB) suction port with an anti-
vortex plate that helps prevent pump cavitation. The submersible three
phase rewindable wet stator motor is wound with high-temperature
resistant PE2 wiring.
