3.1 General description
Product description
Model 3600 i-FRAME is a high-pressure, multistage, between bearings, horizontal centrifugal pump that
meets the requirements of API 610 current edition ISO 13709.
Impeller
The impeller is fully enclosed and key driven by the shaft.
Seal chamber
The seal chamber meets API 610 dimensions for improved performance of mechanical seals.
Power end
The power end has the following characteristics:
•
Carbon steel bearing housings are standard on API services.
•
The oil level is viewed through a sight glass.
•
Constant-level oilers and labyrinth seals are standard.
•
No machining is required to convert the standard ring oil lube to either purge-oil or pure-oil mist
(pure-oil mist applications require minor bearing end cover modifications).
•
Pressure lubrication is required with hydrodynamic thrust bearings.
Bearings
Bearing type
Characteristics
Drive End (radi-
al)
•
Consists of a single-row deep-groove ball bearing (standard)
•
Carries only radial load
•
Optional sleeve bearings
Non Drive End
(thrust)
•
Consists of a pair of single-row angular contact ball bearings mounted back-to-back with
machined brass cages (standard)
•
Shouldered and locked into place, enabling the bearing to carry both radial and axial thrust
loads
•
Optional hydrodynamic thrust bearing (used with sleeve-type journal bearings)
Shaft
The heavy-duty shaft has the following characteristics:
•
Designed for cartridge mechanical seals
•
Minimal shaft deflection at the seal faces (0.002) when run in the worst-case condition (typically
minimum flow)
•
Fully compliant with API 610 and ISO 13709 requirements
Baseplate
The fabricated steel baseplate supports the pump, driver, and accessories in accordance with API-610
and ISO 13709 requirements.
