MTBAxially Split Multistage Between Bearings Pumps (API Class BB3)

Outline

(Photo) MODEL MTB

The model MTB is horizontal, axially split, multistage, single suction, diffuser guide-vane type, centerline support, between bearings process pump.
MTB is suitable for high pressure and a wide range of process applications.


Design features

  • Heavy duty construction is in full compliance with API610
  • Seal chamber
    Seal chamber dimensions are in full compliance with API682 and API610 standards, and dual seals can be installed with our standard seal chamber dimension.
  • Easy maintenance
    Overhaul can be carried out without removing main piping and driver.
  • High reliability
    Opposite impeller multi-stage arrangement reduces thrust force to an optimum level. Diffuser guide vane provides internal radial force balance.
    The full-circular construction of the bearing housing and high precision dynamic balance ensure stable operation and long bearing life.
Design features

1Casing

The casing is designed in full compliance with API610 (design pressure, nozzle external force, and moment, etc.).
Appropriate casing gasket can be selected to meet the operating specifications and the specific liquid to be used, assuring reliable sealing performance.
Centerline support design prevents misalignment caused by thermal expansion.
Suction and discharge nozzles are integrally cast with lower half casing, allowing removal of the rotor without removing driver and piping.

2Impeller

Closed single suction multistage impeller is designed to the wide range of specific operating condition with maximum efficiency.
The impeller is dynamically balanced to meet the API610 requirement.
Opposed impeller stage arrangement reduces thrust loads and prolongs bearing life.

3Wear rings

Renewable wear rings are furnished.

4Diffuser

Precision machined diffuser guide-vane sustains high efficiency and provides radial force balance.

5Main shaft

It minimizes shaft deflection for longer bearing and seal life.
Conforms to API610 requirement.

6Shaft seal and seal chamber

Mechanical seal is applicable to all seal types and plans in accordance with API682 and API610. Upon request, gland packing can be installed.
By using the balance line, seal chamber pressure of both side(coupling and anti-coupling side) is designed to maintain the suction pressure for the mechanical seal.

7Bearing housing

Full circular bracket construction minimizes vibration of bearing housing. So pump vibration is much lower than the limit of API610.
If high temperature service is specified, suitable cooling system is furnished.

8Bearings

Bearings and lubrication systems are available in three configurations to meet service conditions and the requirements of API610.

  • 1ball radial and angular contact ball thrust / flooded lubrication
  • 2sleeve radial and angular contact ball thrust / oil ring lubrication
  • 3sleeve radial and tilting pad thrust / pressurized lubrication

9Labyrinth end seals and deflectors

Replaceable labyrinth end seals and deflectors effectively retain oil in the housing and prevent entry of foreign material into the housing.
