Magnetically Coupled Peripheral Pump
The magnetic coupled peripheral pump, also referred to as a turbine pump, belongs to the family of centrifugal pumps. The structure and operating method is similar to that of a side channel pump.

The TPM turbine pump is able to generate high discharge pressures, even at comparatively low flow rates. It has the great advantage of low NPSH requirements, ideal for applications with limited suction head. Speed-regulated, the TPM turbine pump can be optimally adjusted to the operating point. Peripheral or turbine pumps offer a high tolerance of gas in the pumped liquid, so that continuous operation is possible in case of gas release or temporary air inlet. To prevent the impellers from seizing under difficult operating conditions, these Dickow TPM turbine pumps are equipped with SiC start-up rings on both sides, ensuring no metal to metal contact between the rotating and stationary components. The hermetically sealed design makes it particularly suitable for pumping toxic, explosive and generally environmentally harmful fluids. Although not as well known as other types of pump, turbine pumps have been used for many years for a variety of applications. A typical situation for using a turbine pump would be for pumping water at low flow but high heads. For example a shower booster pump would very often be a turbine pump. However, the turbine pumps from Dickow are intended for far less mundane applications. A turbine pump used as a shower booster would not be required to handled pressures of up to 200 bar, nor temperatures of up to 300C. More Info |
