Broad Application Range

The pumps of the HVN range are heavy-duty centrifugal pumps used for process applications in Refineries Oil fields Petrochemical plants Chemical plants

HVN Design
The range comprises more than 30 pumps sizes with 6 different bearing sizes. HVN pumps are of one-stage design. They are usually operated at the speeds shown in the selection charts. Higher and lower speeds are possible. The HVN range is in accordance with the latest edition of the API Standard 610. This pump range can be adapted to the needs and specifications of individual clients. To meet these demands, this product range is available in a wide spectrum of materials and numerous design alternatives. (See excerpt from material table, pg. 6) The HVN pumps are: One -stage Horizontal arrangement Double Suction impeller Process design Modular design system Centerline mounted API 610

Modern and Robust Casing

The radially split pump casing with sturdy feet at the centerline top-top suction and discharge branches integrally cast in the casing ensures good conditions for the absorption of forces and moments from the piping, even at high temperatures. Accurately designed pump casing and progressive pattern, moulding and casting techniques, together with high-precision machining and continuous, independent quality assurance guarantee a long service life. With the use of a double volute casing the radial forces are minimized to reduce the shaft deflection and the bearing load. The casings are equipped with a welded or integrally flanged drain line. Vent lines are not necessary due to the self venting design.

API 610 Process Pump (BB2)
Casing and cover are holding the amply designed stuffing box room. The corrosion allowance for the wall thickness of carbon steel casings and casing covers is 3.2 mm or more. The HVN range is characterized by the use of robust and modular design elements to reduce the number of parts.

Pump Test Pressure

The casting is tested at 1.5 times the value of the maximum discharge pressure. Higher test pressures on special request.

Wear Rings
All HVN pumps are equipped with casing and impeller wear rings. The clearances are in accordance with API 610. A minimum hardness difference of 50 HRB is mandatory. All pumps are available with flanges acc. to ASME B16.5, 300 lb or alternative acc. to Din 2545, PN 40. For special conditions all relevant ASME- or DIN/ISO-flanges are available.

Economical and Energy Saving Hydraulics

The hydraulics of the HVN pumps are designed and built in accordance with the lastest level of knowledge. In extensive research, test and development programs, the shape of the impellers and volute casings were optimized with regard to the flow dynamics. The single piece, closed impellers are of an extremely high accuracy in shape and surface finish with special features to achieve very good properties in case of variation of impeller diameters. The high efficiencies over a wide flow range results in a low energy requirement. Low NPSH values combined with moderate suction speeds guarantee trouble free operation even under severe suction conditions.

HVN Design
Smooth Running, Reliable Shaft and Bearings
The shafts of the HVN pumps are amply dimensioned, and as a result the shaft deflection at the area of the mechanical seals is less than 0.03 mm referred to the defined working range. This low deflection is supported by the use of a double volute which reduces the radial force and the bearing load. The critical speeds are considerably higher than the pump operating speed. Sub-critical operation in conjunction with precise machining and a high balancing quality result in a low vibration velocity. To ensure smooth running the complete rotors are balanced dynamically, in accordance with the latest edition of API 610. Due to the double suction design of the impeller the axial bearing loads are almost zero. The shaft is furthermore supported by amply dimensioned bearings within single-piece bearing housing arranged on each side of the volute casing. The bearings are of an anti-friction type with ring oil lubrication. The L10Life- Time of the antifriction bearing is more than 25,000 hours. Axial and radial sleeve bearings are also possible on special request. The bearing housing will be cooled, if temperature is above 200C. Shaft mounted fan cooling for temperatures from 200 C to 260 C. Water cooling by cooling coil inserts for temperatures above 260 C. All API 610 cooling plans are available.

Reliable Shaft Sealing

The generously dimensioned shaft sealing chamber is suitable for the installation of all commercial mechanical seal designs. Client requirements concerning the pumped liquid and environment regulations can be satisfied by the use of double acting mechanical seals. All seals and casings can be equipped with connections according to API 682 piping plans. The materials of the seal fully correspond to API 610/682. All types of sealing can be supplied with an additional integral cooling or heating chamber.

Environmental Protection
The existing stringent environmental regulations with regards to emission limitation are taken into account when selecting suitable mechanical seals. Double-acting mechanical seals in conjunction with special barrier systems prevent the pumped liquid from leaking into the environment.

HVN Design
Coupling, coupling Guard
Pumps and drivers are usually connected by flexible disc couplings. The spacer length is dimensioned to allow a trouble free removal of mechanical seal. The standard coupling guards are made inf AIMg perforated sheet metal. The two piece rectangular shaped guards are built to withstand forces up to 200kg. Special guard designs and material are available.

Direction of rotation
The normal rotating direction is preferably counter-clockwise (ccw) viewed from the driver end. HVN 6x17/ 16x26/ 18x30 are running clockwise (cw) viewed from the driver end.

Baseplate
The pump aggregates are normally mounted in heavy duty baseplates made of fabricated steel. The standard baseplate are built for grouting after alignment and are equipped with a drain pan that extends under all potential leakage sources. The baseplate can be drained by a 1 150# ASME flange. The baseplates are in accordance with the API 610 and are able to withstand two times the forces and moments given in the API 610. Special baseplate designs e.g. for offshore use are available on clients request.

Performance Curves
HVN pumps have stable characteristics. They can run continuously in the operating range from minimum flow (Qmin) to maximum flow provided that enough NPSH is available. HVN pumps can be operated at a wide range of speeds. For speeds higher than 3600 rpm, the smooth function has to be checked by the factory. The pump hydraulics are based on a kinematic viscosity of 1mm/s. For higher viscosities, correction factors are to be considered if applicable.
