suction pipe. The circulation speed within it should not exceed 2 m/s if possible.
It should be ensured as much as possible that each pump has its own suction pipe. If for special reasons
it could not reach this, it will be necessary to calculate the pipe for the smallest possible speeds, and with
uniform nominal diameter up to the last pump. (Fig. 2a and 2b).

The suction pipes installed underground must be tested at pressures of 3 - 4 atm before being covered.
If a gate valve is installed inside the suction pipe, the spindle should be positioned

gate valves with shut-off water connection or with water cup.

pumping heights of more than 15 m or for long lengths of piping, we recommend the placement of a
check valve. This, when a sudden stop of the pump occurs, contains the return shock of the

The same care that must be taken when the drive is by belts. The drive shaft and the shaft of
the pulleys must be completely parallel, so that the belt does not run skewed and does not have
tendency to come off. It is essential to correctly tension the belt, which should neither be loose nor
excessively tight. A belt that is too tight puts excessive strain on the pump shaft and
about the bearings. A belt that is too loose, on the other hand, reduces the pump's performance. The belt must be
of the best quality, well stretched, thin, elastic and endlessly joined. Other forms of joining by staples or
similar devices produce an irregular operation and therefore lead to premature wear.
The transmission ratio must be as small as possible, never exceeding 1:6. For higher ratios,

10 Vertical Centrifugal Pumps
ETA VR
10.1 Application
They are used for the pumping of clean liquids in general, with temperatures up to 60°C.
installations where space is limited or where, for safety reasons, it is necessary to dispense with
suction pipe, since these pumps are submerged directly in the liquid.
10.2 Description
The ETA VR pumps are vertical centrifugal pumps, single suction mounted in wells and/or
Tanks, supported and fixed to the floor above the maximum liquid level.
With an axis supported by an upper bearing (independent of the drive motor) bearings of
guide in the transmission.
The shaft seal is achieved through seals. In the sealing area, it has an interchangeable sleeve.
The transmission shaft consists of several sections joined together by threaded couplings. Starting from 500 mm.
it has intermediate bearings.
The transmission between the pump and motor is carried out by means of an elastic coupling that varies in its
size and shape according to the power to be transmitted; as indicated in the respective foundation plans
The materials of the parts in contact with the liquid to be pumped will depend on the characteristics of the
fluid; as indicated in the respective assembly drawings and parts lists.
10.2.1 Impeller
It is a closed radial type, of a single stage, with axial inlet and compensating holes.
10.2.2 Body
Spiral body, melted into a single piece, radially split. Integrated with the suction cover and/or
sump cover for packing. The suction cover comes with a renewable wear ring in sizes
80-26 and 125-26, not so in those of size 32-20.
10.3 Assembly
The base plates are made of steel sheet, which will be supported directly on the surface of
concrete or profiled iron fixed by means of anchoring bolts.
10.3.2 Location
After placing the equipment on its support surface, the base must be leveled with a level.
bubble. If necessary, shims should be placed under the base until a proper level is achieved.
silent. The use of compensators in the pumping pipe is recommended.
In VR execution pumps, it is not necessary to align the motor with the pump, it only needs to be paid attention to.
Attention: the anchor bolts are adjusted to avoid tension or deformations in the base.

ETA
10.3.4 Connection of the pressure pipe
Pipelines should not exert stress on the pump. The use of compensators is recommended.
the nominal diameter of the flange or pump outlet pipe is not decisive for sizing the
pressure pipe.
The speed in the pressure pipe should not exceed 3 m/s, and changes should be avoided.
sharp turn or deviation. A check valve should be provided at the outlet to absorb the
water hammer and prevent the pump from turning in the reverse direction.
It is advisable to install a gate valve to carry out inspections on the pump and at the same time use it.
as a flow and pressure regulation organ.
10.3.5 Rotation
To check the direction of rotation, the motor must be uncoupled from the pump shaft.
The direction of rotation is clockwise, as seen from the top of the motor.
The pump should never be started if it is not submerged and the lubrication is not connected.
10.4 Bearings
The ball bearing supports all the rotating elements shaft - impeller - coupling and the
remaining axial thrust.
It is greased with grease and comes from the factory with an initial lubrication for six (6) months with eight (8) hours a day.
of operation, this period being reduced when environmental conditions are unfavorable.
The lubricant for the bearings must be high-quality lithium grease, free from resins and acids that
do not crack and at the same time have anti-corrosive properties.
The bearing temperature can be above 50 °C over ambient temperature, without exceeding
the 80 °C.
The minimum level of liquid in the tank should be monitored, installing protections so that the pump
do not turn in empty.
Periodically check maximum pressure and current consumption at the operating point.
When spare parts are required, it is necessary to indicate the model of the pump and its number.
manufacturing. The latter is located in the engine lantern.
The name of each piece comes from the corresponding overall plan. (See doc. N°58986/03)
The bearings according to the liquid to be pumped are made of the material indicated in the parts list.

The lubrication of the bearings has the following characteristics:
The pipes and connections come provided with the pump. This execution is recommended when the
the liquid is completely clean, free of impurities and has lubricating properties.

It consists of a horizontal execution pump with a cast iron body, bronze impeller with
conventional press and a reduction box with a transmission ratio of 1:3.57.
When powered by a tractor at 540 RPM, it will cause the pump to operate at 2000 RPM.
The reducer has a second shaft that would allow direct drive to motors of
internal combustion. The entire assembly is supplied mounted on a sheet metal platform to be fixed.
