Literature has been published on a new Worthington high-speed pump with helical gearing for quiet dependable operations that can reach speeds up to 20,000 rpm.
Recommended for high-pressure applications, the horizontal high-speed pumps have capacities to 300 gpm and heads to 4,000 feet. They were developed for refinery, chemical and petrochemical applications such as hydrocarbon charge and injection services.
Horizontal configuration of the pumps eliminates the need for vertical motor supports and avoids excessive bearing loading inherent in vertical models. Field maintenance is easier and any driver can be used. The pump design features a closed, angled-vane impeller for stable head characteristics and high efficiencies. The gear box is fan-cooled, eliminating the need for water cooling in most applications.
