Self-Priming Magnetic Drive Pumps - DB / SP Series Brochure

Supreme Efficiency, Reliability and Performance The DB Series magnetic drive pump is the new stan- dard for hydraulic efficiency and corrosive fluid handling. With design-aided magnetic flux and computational fluid dynamics technology, the DB Series packs all the high-pressure, fluid-handling punch you would expect from a Finish Thompson pump. Born from painstaking, extensive R & D effort, the ef- ficiency of the DB Series lowers energy consumption and operating costs over the long life cycle of the pump. Constructed from Polypropylene or PVDF, the DB Series operates durably in the most corrosive of environments. It can even run dry without damage. This rock solid embodiment of technological advance- ment is superior in precision, performance and reliabil- ity to other pumps on the market. That’s why we offer the industry’s best five-year warranty. And why everyone else is undoubtedly heading back to the drawing board. The SP Series - Self Priming - Big on power, yet short on energy consumption, the SP Series from Finish Thompson is one of the most ver- satile -- and economical -- centrifugal pumps on the market. Backed by an industry best five-year warranty, it is per- fect for applications difficult for ordinary centrifugal pumps, such as pumping fluid from below grade, emp- tying tanker trucks or rail cars, transferring fluids from the top of tall bulk storage tanks to reduce the possibil- ity of leaks from sidewall-mounted bulkhead fittings, overcoming piping systems that tend to have trapped or entrained air, or when optimum run-dry protection is needed. The exclusive SP Series combines deep-lift capabilities (up to 25 feet/7.6 meters) and lightning-fast priming (18 feet/5.5 meters in 90 seconds) with the advan- tages of magnetic drive technology--ensuring ease of operation with no seal replacement, no leaks and the capability to run dry without damage. Its innovative design and corrosion-resistant materials make the SP Series ideal for handling even the most difficult applications.

Di- vide 25 feet (7.6 meters) by the specific gravity to determine maximum lift. NOTE: SP Series is not recommended for pumping flammable liquids. Engineered by computational fluid dynamics & Finite Element Analysis 7. Run Dry System/Magnet Technology The DB and SP can run dry for hours with- out damage when equipped with a chemi- cal grade carbon bushing 1. Thermoplastic Casing Produces equivalent pump performance at both 60 Hz and 50 Hz operation. SP casing functions as a fluid res- ervoir featuring a molded-in “gooseneck” suction passage eliminating the need for internal check valves. 6. Impeller Two-piece impeller design allows impeller to be changed without having to replace inner drive. 3. Multiple Connections NPT or BSP threaded, raised-face adjustable flanges, or union connections Neodymium magnets are the most powerful and efficient magnets available. Inner mag- nets are completely encapsulated in unfilled polypropylene or PVDF to prevent corrosion of the magnets. 8. Easy Set Outer Drive Measurement-free outer drive ensures optimum magnet alignment and easy motor installation. DB & SP PREmIum FEATuRES 2. O-ring On SP models, creates airtight seal between the inner volute and “gooseneck” suction passage. Helps maintain vacuum required for proper priming. 4. Separator Plate Allows liquid to flow to the impeller and discharge the air/liquid mixture created during priming back into the fluid reservoir. (SP only) 5. Inner Volute Allows air to be efficiently removed from the suction pas- sages for fast priming. (SP only) DB Series SP Series SP PrinciPleS of Self-Priming 1 3 2 4 1 During pump installation, the priming housing is filled through the fill port. 2 As priming begins, air in the suction piping mixed with liquid in the priming chamber forms a vacuum in the inner volute. As they separate, the air rises out of the discharge piping while the liquid returns to the priming chamber. 3 The circulation process continues until liquid replaces all the air in the suction piping, beginning the pumping process. 4 When the pump is shut off, the priming chamber’s gooseneck design ensures that enough liquid is retained for efficient re-priming. 1 Transfer from top of rail cars or tanker trucks to bulk storage. 2 Transfer from bulk storage to process or day tanks. 3 Pump from underground sumps or pits to treatment tanks. 4 Pump from underground storage tanks to process or day tanks.
