Description
Description
The MD/ME/MDV series from Stream Pumps is a single-casing, radially split, multistage, between-bearings pump (API 610 type BB4). Also known as ring-section pumps or segmental-ring/tie-rod pumps, these systems are designed for high-efficiency performance in demanding applications.
Operating Data (50Hz)
- Suction nozzle: DN50 to DN200
- Discharge nozzle: DN32 to DN150
- Capacity range: 4 to 460 m³/h
- Heads range: 20 to 900 m
- Working Temp. range: -20℃ to 90℃
- Operating pressure: Up to 100 bar (extendable to 150°C as an option)
Fields of Application
- Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) applications
- Zero discharge of concentrated salt
- Boiler feed water
- Clean water pumping stations
- Any other high-pressure applications with clean liquids
Direction of Rotation
The pump rotor rotates clockwise when viewed from the motor to the pump.
Features and Benefits
Suction and Discharge Casings
- Flange raised face per ANSI/ISO or EN/DIN standards.
- Product-lubricated silicon carbide sleeve bearing for end-suction pumps.
- Casing wear rings as standard to enhance durability.
- Segmental radial section structure for larger inlet/outlet, optimized flow, and reduced noise.
- Radial fully symmetrical hydraulic design minimizes radial force, improving efficiency and extending rotor life.
Suction and Discharge Flanges
- MD pumps offer side or top suction/discharge configurations.
- MDV designs allow for 90° relative positioning of suction and discharge ports.
- ME series features end suction, with discharge options for side or top mounting.
- Radial suction and discharge flanges ensure easy maintenance of mechanical seals and bearings.
Impeller
- Enclosed type with precision investment casting.
- Dynamically balanced and keyed to the shaft.
- Superior hydraulic efficiency ensures high energy savings.
Shaft
- Staggered keyways enhance balance.
- Robust design ensures minimal deflection even under maximum load, prolonging mechanical seal and bearing life.
Balancing Device
- Involute balance drum for axial thrust balance.
- Dual-step surface ensures closer running clearance and efficient performance.
Bearings
- End suction sleeve bearing supported in the suction casing.
- Heavy-duty anti-friction bearings housed in larger chambers.
- Available with oil or grease lubrication.
Mechanical Seal
- Single or double cartridge seals available.
- Supports standard seal flush plans with options for modified plans like 11/13.
Installation Options
- MD: Side suction horizontal installation.
- ME: End suction horizontal installation.
- MDV: Side suction vertical installation.
Modular parts reduce inventory, with universalized designs for easier servicing.
Drivers
- Electric motors
- Steam turbines
- Diesel engines
- Speed-increasing or reducing gears available for enhanced compatibility.
Baseplates and Coupling
- Rigid steel baseplates reduce vibrations and assure positive alignment.
- Flexible couplings are available with or w
