INTAKE
SECTION
INTAKE SECTION
Intake section can either be:
• Standard Intake, or
• Gas Separator
STANDARD INTAKE
Intakes can be either :
Integral or bolt-on.
Integral intake to pump is usually offered
to bigger pumps from 562 series and above.
Bolt-on Intake
Bolt-on intake can have various type of
bearing system:
Standard – Ni-resist bushing
ARZ – Abrasion resistant Bearing
and
Abrasion resistant material can be: Sleeve
Zirconia (ARZ)
Silicon Carbide (ARZ-ZS or ARZ-SS)
GAS SEPARATOR
GAS SEPARATOR
Static(Reverse flow) Gas Separator
Reverse Flow Gas Separator
As well fluid enters the
gas separator it is
forced to change
direction. Some of the
gas bubbles continue
to rise instead of turn
or rise inside of the gas
separator, exit the
housing and continue
to rise.
