Figure 52. Rotor And Vanes

During each cycle, the space between the rotor and the housing fills with air. The vanes, acting

as wipers, forces the air out the discharge, creating a vacuum in the booster pump allowing at-

mospheric pressure to push water into the suction hose and fill the suction side of the booster

pump.
The Hale ESP-series priming pump is an environmentally friendly primer that does not require a

separate lubricant reservoir. The vanes and volute are self-lubricating for maintenance free op-

eration. Figure 52 shows an ESP priming pump.

Figure 53. ESP Priming Pump

A Hale ESP priming pump utilizes a single control, the PVG (opens the priming valve and turns on

the ESP), which is located between the booster pump and the priming pump.

C.1.2

Priming Valves

Hale priming valves open when the priming pump is operated to control priming of the booster

pump. There are two types of priming valves available:
