Vertical hollow- shaft motors are most commonly speci- fied, although vertical solid shaft motors will he recommended where needed. Enclosures such as explosion- roof, totally-enclosed fan-cooled, ete., are available on order. ‘On pumps requiring motors rated 1000 hp and higher for continuous duty, synchronous motors should be con- sidered. Resultant power savings will frequently more than offset the differ- ence in initial cost. RIGHT ANGLE GEAR DRIVE Peerless supplies right angle gear drives for pumps in sizes to 700 hp in a wide variety of standard ratios Special ratios and larger sizes are available. These drives can be powered by internal combustion engines, steam turbines, or horizontal electric motors. The gears used are high-capacity, spiral-beveled gears, ground and lap- ped for smooth, quiet performance, high efficieney and long life. COMBINATION MOTOR-GEAR DRIVE Where continuous pump duty is a must, regardless of power interrup- tions, the combination drive of a hol- lowshaft electric motor and right angle gear drive with internal combustion engine is usually recommended. In event of electric power failure, the motor may be quickly disengaged and the load transferred to the alternate driver, Immediate, efficient take-over insures continuous water supply under all cireumstances, Combination motor- gear drivers are available in sizes to 700 hp. Larger ratings cau be supplied on special order.DRIVER SELECTION — In selecting the drive for a vertical Tineshaft turbine pump, whether it is a vertical electric motor, a right angle gear drive or a combination drive, it is most important that it be procisely engineered for the particular pumping application. The driver is an integral part of the pumping system. All drivers supplied with Peer Jess pumps meet rigid requirements and embody construc tion features which ensure satisfactory operation, The most mpoctant of these features are described below. The item numbers are keyed to the schematic drawing at the right. 1 ENCLOSURES: Vertical turbine pumps are frequently in- sailed outdoors, subject to wide extremes of weather. En- closures of all drivers supplied by Peerless wre designed and constructed io minimize the effeets of the outdoor environ- ment, Cooling air velocities are kept to a minimum to pre~ vent drawing-in of foreign matter, All vents are screened to prevent entry of rodents, reptiles andl other intruders, and tre baffled for protection against wind-driven rain’ and snow, For most service conditions a standard weather-proof enclosure is adequate, bnt for extrernely hot or cold climuates, in explosive, corrosive or noxious environments, special ene closures are available at nominal extra cost. Peerless engi xcors will recommend the enclosure hest suited to meet your requirements, 2 THRUST PROVISION: Every vertical pump exerts an axial Ioad on the driver, The driver thrust bearings must be designed to carry the weight of the pump shafting, im- pellers, and te hydraulic thrust developed by the pump, Every pump has a thrust characteristic which is as unique to that pump as its head-copacity characteristic, which varies throughout the operating range of the pump unit. Peerless engineers work closely with motor and gear drive manufacturers to insure that your pump has adequate thrust beating cxpacity in the vertical driver. Henee, thrust prob- Jems are anticipated in advance and provided for in the pump before delivery. 3 IMPELLER ADJUSTMENT: Each Peerless vertical pump driver is designed to provide simple, accurate and quick adjustment of the pump impellers from the surface. In a vertical hollowshaft driver this adjustment is made by means of a nut on the upper end of the shaft. After the top motor cover is removed, remove the lock screws from the adjust ing nut and rotate the adjusting mut to the right or left until the proper setting is obtained for optimum pump efficiency. Detailed instructions for making this Tateral adjustment in all Peerless drivers are provided in the instruction beoklet accompanying each Peerless pump. 4 TOP DRIVE COUPLING: The cast iron or high tensile alloy steel top drive coupling provides perfect vertical align- ‘ment and assures smooth transfer of power to the shaft, This drive coupling disengages if the driver is accidentally re- versed, In shallow settings, the pump may develop a momentary upthrust on starting. The hollowshaft driver is designed so the lower bearings cannot rise. To prevent ‘upward movement of the pump sheft, it is only necessary to install hold-down bolts in this coupling. 5 NON-REVERSE RATCHET: Backspin protection on a ver cal hollowshaft driver canbe provided as an optional fea- ture when requized, A vertical turbine lineshaft pump will backspin when the driving power ceases and the water columa in the pump recedes, Protection against backspin is recommended on automatic installations where damage could occur due to restarting the driver while the pump Js dn reverse rotation. TC iy also recommended on water Jubricated installations where the setting is gener than 150 feet and a pre-lubrication system is not provided, THESE , KEY FEATURES GIVE PEERLESS DRIVERS AN OUTSTANDING RECORD OF LASTING EFFICIENCYDISCHARG E Maximum flexibility and versatility for future changes in pumping plant design are inherent in the design of HEADS tox docange, clu and abe sees on esse tinely accommodated within wide limits in these de- STANDARDIZED = firs tat nat on any ae TO ACCOMMODATE ing appearance and long life.

This simple yet extremely effective principle provides for two sealing surfaces instead of one to prevent efficiency-robbing recircula- tion of liquid from high to low pressure azeas within, the bow! assembly. All centrifugal pumps depend TH upon, a close-clearance side seal between the rotating impeller and the stationary bowl to imit recirculation, However, this side seal is subject to wear, abrasion and erosion under adverse operating conditions. The side seal clearances cannot be adjusted to compensate for this wear and the resulting efficiency loss, LINESHAFT Peerless double seal bowls provide an additional seal- ing surface in the horizontal plane which can be easily adjusted to sustain efficiency as wear occurs, To insure TURBINE 4 good sealing surface in the bowl under all operating conditions, « unique lateral bovl wear ring is used. Tt is an abrasivesresistant rubber ring, reinforced inter- PUMP nally with a heavy metallic core. Rubber has been found to be the best material available to withstand M EC HAN ICAL A N D the highly abrasive action of sand in water. AN IMPELLER TYPE AND SIZE EXCELLENCE FOR MOST EVERY APPLICATION SHOWS eres his allained st posion of esdersip by continually designing and developing, impeller types UP and sizes for many different pumping requirements.

Thore are many ‘anations from these sh; thee enable Peas to novide the pump best suited for your needs. In effect, This means « custom-made pump for each sodividual job. Maximum value, high efficiency and economical long-term pump performance are assured in each application,ENAMELLED BOWLS Peerless bowl design and construction is the result of exhaustive research and development. They effectively and effi- ciently convert velocity head into pres- sure head in each stage, For most applications and usual water conditions, Peerless recommends vitre- ous enamelled bowls. Resistance to abrasion and resultant higher efficiency due to smoothest surfaces are impor tant advantages, Peerless vitreous enamelling methods are the most modem available and insure against peeling, scaling and erosion under all ordinary water conditions, HIGH TENSILE STEEL LINESHAFTING DUAL RUBBER AND BRONZE BOWL BEARINGS Peerless has found that in most pump. applications the ideal bowl bearing material is a combination of rubber and bronze. The illustrations above show the arrangement of the bronze and rubber dual bearing combination, Note the rubber bearing is fluted for easy passage of any sand. However, in cer tain localities and under some water conditions, Peerless will recommend the use of an all-bronze bearing system, in each bowl. Where this construction is indicated, Peerless will furnish it. Peerless Pump lineshafting has a minimum tensile strength of 95,000 psi. Rigid standards in specifications of manufacture and final check for straightness and uniform diameter insure highest quality, Shaft threads are accurately machined. to hardened gage standards. Final inspection and careful packing in rigid con tainers insure delivery of all Peerless shafting in perfect condition, Type L HEAD- FT. PER STAGE CAPACITY - GPM > ‘Type HX DEEPEST SETTING LINESHAFT PUMPS ARE PEERLESS PUMPS Vertical lineshaft pumps set 500 feet helow the surface of the ground have always been considered applications. By wor ers and through research, development and testing programs in our own lab- oratories, “Peerless has successfully solved the many problems in applying vertical lineshaft pumps in settings to 1500 feet, Some of the problems Peerless has suc- cessfully solved in relation to very deep setting lineshait pumps are shaft stretch, lateral adjustment of impellers, thrust ‘loading, “hearing Tubrication, weight, loading factors and deficetion ‘of complete bow! assemblies, prior to and during installation in the field. Tn order to ease handling of bowl assemblies in the field, Peesless designed a tandem adapter so the en= tire howl assembly could be shipped in component, easy to handle sections, to facilitate corect installation at the site.EFFICIENCY COUNTS IN THE PEERLESS LINESHAFT TURBINE PUMP THE RIGHT BOWL ASSEMBLY FOR EACH APPLICATION SHOWS UP WHERE IT COUNTS APPRAISING THE COST OF A PUMP ‘The ultimate cost of a pump is dependent upon its price and its sustained efficiency over an ample period of time to effect complete and acceptable amortiza~ tion. Most pumps are, in fact, purchased by this method, the price of the pump being reevaluated higher or lower in terms of its efficiency rating. ‘The example below illustrates how, in a given pump apolcation, a higher price for one ump may be more off-set by higher operating efficiencies over its amortization period, Peerless has always endeavored to provide high sus- tained efficiencies in its pumps, Peerless welcomes comparisons of its pumps with others on the basis of efficiencies maintained over the years as shown below. Remember: the term “efficiency” as used in evaluating a pump would be of no value, if it could not be reduced to terms of actual pumping cost, expressed in dollars. In the example below, the following pump data is assumed; capacity: 2700 gpm; head: 300 feet; motor: hp PUMP A—LAB, EFF. — 88.59% Lab. eff. Field eff.

Consult your nearest Peerless sales office for complete information on how to figure true pumping costs.PUMPING LIQUIDS OTHER THAN WATER Head: The head of a pump is generally expressed in feet and is so plotted on performance curves. This head developed, expressed in feet, is the same imre- spective of the fluid pumped. However, the head expressed in pounds per square inch (psi) will be Gifferent for fluids of different specific gravity. The heavier the fhuid the greater will be the head expressed in psi for a pump. The relation of feet head and psi is: psi x 2.31 sper o Horsepower. Pump horsepower is changed with any change in specific gravity. Pump horsepower curves, unless otherwise noted, are plotted for water, which has a specific gravity of 1.00 at normal temperatures. Any increase or decrease in specific gravity will pro- ‘portionately increase or decrease the horsepower. The general formula for calculating horsepower: = gpm X total head in feet 3960 X efficiency is based upon water, ic., a specific gravity of 1.00. When the sp-gr is other than 1.00, the formula should bhp _ apm x total head in feet bhp 3060 X effciency X sper Efficiency.
