TYPE KP/KPV DOUBLE SUCTION SPLIT CASE PUMPS - Grundfos

FEATURES AND BENEFITSWhat makes the KP/KPV pumps so special? Let’stake a closer look at the innovative designs andtechnologies of the pump.BEARINGS• Selected in conjunction with short bearing spanand large diameter shaft to provide a long life(minimum life of 10 years when calculated at50% of BEP)SLEEVE BEARING• Spiral grooves flush contaminates and particleswith recirculation line to reduce maintenance costSLEEVE BEARING HOUSING• Compact, robust construction has 360-degreemachined register fit to simplify removal andextend lifeBEARING HOUSING• Unique design combines seal and bearingchambers for ease of maintenance• Allows for seal, sleeve, and bearing inspectionwithout removing the top half of the casing• Compact, robust construction with 360-degreemachined register fit limits shaft deflection andoptimizes alignmentCASE WEAR RINGS• Replaceable case wear rings protect pumpcasing from wear and tear and permit simplemaintenance of proper running clearances,reducing maintenance costs and helping tomaintain high operating efficienciesCASING• Suction and discharge flanges are integrally castinto the lower casing half, allowing removal of therotating assembly without disturbing the piping• KPV is supported at its base to minimize vibrationand extend pump lifeIMPELLERS• “Closed” (double-shrouded) with Francis Vane4 | Features and Benefits

TAKING RESPONSIBILITYWITH SUSTAINABLEPUMP SOLUTIONSWhen you specify or install a Grundfos pump, youhave the assurance that you’re doing your part toconserve valuable water, energy, and other preciousresources.It’s estimated that pumps use up to 20% of theworld’s electrical power. That’s why Grundfos isproud to say that sustainability has long been atthe forefront of our processes.We invest more financial resources than any otherpump manufacturer in order to push the limits forreaching energy-saving efficiency, and we continueto pioneer innovative designs and technologythat support sustainability. For example:> Double volute design increases pump life bybalancing and reducing net radial force.> ECM technology reduces energy consumptionby up to 80% and helps reduce carbon dioxideemissions.> Premium efficient “SMART” pump designsreduce operating and maintenance costs> Pumps are made from materials that are 95%recyclable at life cycle end.SAVE ENERGY. REDUCE WASTE.Power consumption can easily account for morethan 85% of all costs incurred during the life cycleof a pump. So, even the smallest improvement inefficiency can translate to sizeable savings for you.With low life cycle costs, reliable performance, highqualityconstruction, and easy maintenance, thePACO KP/KPV series of pumps are the smart choicefor providing customized, cost-efficient,energysavingpumps and pumping solutions for yourspecific application.10 | Sustainability and Efficiency
