Centrifugal eco pumps for the shipping industry
The CNLe pump is developed in a service-friendly design, with the fewest parts possible to make operation simple. The design is significant for a close coupled in-line top-pull-out pump. The compact and service-friendly design limits the load capabilities but enables economical installation and a reduced cost of ownership. The system is successfully designed for light duty pumping, without compromising on quality.
The DHBSe pump is characterised by a single, maintenance free bearing arrangement and long spacer coupling. This provides sufficient stability for medium loads and easy access for changing spare parts, without dismounting motor or piping. The design reflects modularity and simplicity, resulting in a pump that is easy to produce and simple to maintain. The pump is also made with 30% less parts, reducing material costs and waste.
This vertical in-line centrifugal pump is available in DN 40…200 – Flow from 5 to 800m3/h and pressure up to ten bar.
Small, lightweight shipping pumps
Through general optimisation IRON Pump has succeeded in saving up to 15% in weight on primary components. The improved design improves flow conditions inside the pump, allowing increased media velocity and higher efficiency. This improvement enables downsizing and a weight reduction of up to 40% on pump installation.
Reduced energy consumption pumps
By combining IRON Pump’s considerable pump experience with the most recent in CFD analysis, the company has achieved energy savings of up to 20%.
Despite material reduction, IRON Pump’s strong and well proven mechanical solutions are maintained. The two main models chosen for this program are individually featured, covering a broad variety of pump applications onshore, for marine applications, and offshore.
The E-Series complies with EU Directive 2009/125/EC for high efficiency end-suction pumps, thus meeting the demands for future ships by ensuring a lower power consumption.
Shipping ejectors
An ejector, also known as an eductor or a jet pump, is a piece of precision engineering without any moving parts. No maintenance is required, and wear and tear are kept to a minimum. Ejectors are broadly used onboard almost every kind of vessel, including ferries, fishing and cruise vessels, and onboard carrier vessels.
Onboard the vessels, the ejector serves a variety of different applications, with the most common being ballast stripping, as well as bilge and sewage applications. Ballast stripping may involve discharging through a ballast water treatment system, which requires additional work from the ejector.
Bilge applications typically include removing liquid and condensate from the chain locker, cofferdam, bosun store, or engine room.
Sewage applications most often involve the transportation of black water and grey water. IRON Pump’s ejectors may also be used to transport minerals or granulate mixed with water.
Ejector advantages:
- Simple operation, no maintenance
- Allows unobstructed transportation of impurities in suction media
- Suitable for locations with limited access
- Eliminates risks of fire/explosion as no moving parts
- Suitable for various mixing purposes
- Reliable and easy to install
- Suitable as a portable ‘vacuum cleaner’
