Leak-free turbine pumps
18 September 2013
Michael Smith Engineers now offers a range of magnetically-driven regenerative turbine pumps which provide a solution for low-flow / high-head applications where zero leakage is required.

Available in a wide range of wetted materials the M Pumps range is designed to handle liquids containing up to 20% entrained gas, as well as thin, non-lubricating liquids, or for pumping small flows at high differential pressures.
The pumps can handle capacities to 13m3/h at differential heads up to 164m for single stage designs and up to 500m for multistage pumps. Low NPSH versions are also available for refrigeration / cooling applications, or for pumping boiling liquids or high vapour pressure liquids, with an NPSHR down to 0.5m. The metallic designs provide high system pressure capability, 25 Bar on the standard T Mag M metallic series, 150 Bar for high system pressure versions of the T Mag M series and up to 1500 Bar for the T Mag XPM designs.
Key features include: a high-head, low-flow capability which minimises the need for bypass requirements, hydraulically and dynamically balanced impellers which are designed to handle liquids containing up to 20% entrained gas and a close-coupled design which eliminates alignment issues. They also have ability to handle liquids with a wide range of viscosities from less than 1 to 200cP.
