ZE range pump is a horizontal, single stage, radially split heavy duty centerline mounted process pump with single flow closed radial impeller. Axial suction branch, vertical radial discharge branch with flanges machined to meet ANSI or DIN standards. Selection is a available with two casing designs, ZE with wall thickness optimized to cover the various pressure ranges. Fully confined gasket between volute casing, casing cover and seal cover. Shaft sealing chamber per ISO21049(API682), specified for the installation of single and double mechanical seals, cartridge design is standard. Connections for flushing, cooling, heating, quench and buffer fluids. Piping as per API plans. Rugged fabricated steel API standard baseplate with drain pan and lifting lugs.
The pumps are designed for the delivery of most fluids found in refinery processes. The application ranges from liquid gases at low temperatures through light and heavy fuels up to gas oil containing solids and distillation residues at the highest temperatures.
ZE pumps can also be employed as turbines for the recovery of energy.
