Model 3700 API-610 Process Pumps
Design Features for Wide Range of High Temperature/High Pressure Services
BONUS INTERCHANGEABILITY
Bearings, shaft, mechanical seal,
impeller and wear rings completely
interchangeable with Goulds Model 3910
bearing frame in-line process pumps.
Entire back pull-out assembly
interchangeable with Model 3710.
DUAL VOLUTE CASING
Standard on 3-inch discharge and
larger. Minimizes radial load and
reduces shaft deflection for increased
mechanical seal life.
TANGENTIAL DISCHARGE
Design maximizes hydraulic efficiency.
CONFINED CONTROLLED
COMPRESSION GASKET
Spiral wound gasket assures positive
sealing with no chance of misalignment.
RENEWABLE WEAR RINGS
STANDARD ALL SIZES
Positively locked and set screwed.
Front and rear rings control seal
chamber flows and pressures.
IMPELLER
Multiple closed impellers for most
casings to meet specific hydraulic
requirements. Balanced to stringent
requirements of API-610.
NOZZLE LOAD CAPABILITY
Casing/baseplate design optimized to
meet toughest API nozzle load criteria.
FABRICATED BASEPLATE
Enlarged drain connection to prevent
buildup of debris. Anchors welded to
deck plate assure positive locking to
grout. Extra width sizes available to
ease maintenance of seal systems.
RIGID, HEAVY DUTY SHAFT
Minimizes shaft deflection, maximizes
bearing and mechanical seal life.
Sized for API-682 conformance.
LABYRINTH OIL SEALS
Labyrinth seal design prevents oil
from leaking out and contaminants
from intruding. Made from
non-sparking metal.
BEARINGS
Duplex 40 angular contact thrust
bearings and deep-groove (Conrad)
radial bearings sized for minimum
three (3) year bearing life under most
severe operating conditions.
Exceeds API-610 requirements.
HEAVY DUTY
BEARING FRAME
Piloted and metal-to-metal fits
assure runouts and concentricities well
within limits specified in API-610.
Large oil sump capacity.
Cast fins enhance cooling.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Proven, engineered ring-oiled flow-thru
bearing lubrication optimizes MTBPM.
SEAL CHAMBER
Enlarged seal chamber fully conforms
to API-610 and API-682 standards.
Accepts wide range of cartridge
mechanical seals. Renewable throat
bushing standard for controlled seal
chamber environment.
Standard Features for Optimum Reliability
Proven API-610 Nozzle Load Design
Rugged casing and baseplate/pedestal support system provides
flange loading capability exceding API-610 requirements without the
use of a bearing frame support.
Full Flange Rating Pressure Capability
All pumps designed to operate at 2 pole running speeds have
casings designed for the full pressure capability of a 300 RF flange.
Spiral Wound Casing Gasket
Casing to cover joint sealed with a spiral wound, controlled
compression gasket required by API-610. Provides positive sealing
up to the maximum design pressure and temperature.
API-682
Seal Chamber
Designed to provide ideal seal
environment for specified
sealing arrangements. Full
conformance with standardized
dimensional requirements of
API-682. Accepts full range of
cartridge seals.
Performance Options
MULTIPLE IMPELLERS
Meet specific user operating requirements.
Available for most pump sizes.
Improved Bearing Environment
IL
O VEL
LE
Bearing frame fins provide optimum heat dissipation.
Extra large oil sump provides cooler running bearings.
Condition monitoring sites allow easy and consistent
monitoring of temperature and vibration. Provision for
instrumentation mounting per API-670 available.
Proven channeled oil lubrication system assures
flow-thru of cooled oil to thrust and radial bearings.
Oil rings, positively located, provide oil flow to
channeled oil lubrication system and prevent oil foaming.
Optional Features for Application Flexibility
Goulds offers users a range of options to meet specific plant and process requirements.
High Temperature Capability
For high temperature applications, these options are available.
Thermal
Gasket
Heat
Flinger
HEAT FLINGER AND THERMAL BARRIER
Thermal gasket creates heat barrier between
seal chamber and bearing frame. Heat flinger
dissipates shaft-conducted heat and circulates
air to reduce heat build-up.
AIR COOLING
High capacity fan and shroud mounted
on power end effectively reduce bearing
frame temperature for cooler running
bearings without using cooling water.
Lubrication Flexibility
OIL MIST
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Connections for pure or
purge oil mist lubrication
can be provided for
immediate use or future
requirements.
LUBRICANT
SIGHT GLASS
AND SAMPLING
BOTTLE
For visual
inspection and
sampling of oil.
SEALED
POWER END
Designed with magnetic end
face seals and expansion chamber to
prevent contaminants from entering the
power end.
Baseplate Options
EXTRA WIDE
BASEPLATE
Available for seal
systems with
auxiliary
components.
REMOVABLE
POSITIONING
JACKSCREWS
Standard on larger driver
sizes, available for
smaller sizes.
Standard
