DEEPWELL LINESHAFT VERTICAL TURBINE PUMP SELECTION

VERTI-LINE vertical turbine pumps are engineered in three basic assemblies. Each has to be combined to perform its particular
function and to operate with together. To do this properly, each must be understood by the engineer and selected in the sequence
below.
A BOWL ASSEMBLY
This is the pumping element and consists of a vertical rotating shaft on which is mounted one or more impellers called rotor part.
The impellers are rotated in enclosed housings or bowls called stator part and water flows into the bottom of the bowl, it is engaged
by the rotating vanes of the impeller and forced into guide vanes in the bowl, changing the flow direction to direct the other
impellers. It is a special series pump application for deep and narrow wells. Head is increased by the number of stages (including
impeller and bowl) linearly. Quantity and pressure developed are dependent on the diameter and rotational speed of the impeller.
In general increased diameter, capacity increases. For the same diameter, while the rotational speed increases, the head and
capacity also increases for the same pump. The total pressure of a multi-stage pump is the sum of the pressures developed by
individual stages.
B COLUMN ASSEMBLY
This assembly consists of the column pipe which suspends the bowl assembly from the discharge head assembly and directs the
water from the bowl assembly to the discharge elbow. Contained within the column is the lineshaft which transmits power from the
driver to the pump shaft. The lineshaft is supported throughout its length by means of bearings which are placed according to the
speed of the pump. Shafts may be in an enclosed in a tube. This type is generally lubricated with oil. Also, the shaft may be open and
lubricated with the fluid being pumped. The length of this assembly must be sufficient to provide submergence of the pump bowl
assembly when pumping at the designated capacity.
The pump column should be of sufficient diameter to conduct the desired quantity of water through its entire length without
excessive friction loss. The line shaft diameter is determined by the power to be transmitted to the pump shaft and also by the
rotational speed, length of the column and shaft assembly, and total pump head (TPH).
C DISCHARGE HEAD ASSEMBLY
The discharge head assembly consists of the base on which the driver is mounted and the discharge elbow which directs the flow
into the piping system. The column shaft assembly, and bowl assembly are suspended from the discharge head assembly.
In the case of underground discharge, the discharge elbow is separated from the head assembly and installed in the column pipe at
the desired distance below the head assembly.
The driver is the mechanism mounted on the discharge head which gives power to the head shaft. It contains means for impeller
adjustment and provides a bearing to carry the thrust load. It may or may not be a prime mover.
The driver may be a vertical solid shaft electric motor, vertical hollow shaft electric motor, vertical hollow shaft right angle gear
drive, vertical hollow shaft belted head with either flat belt or V-belt pulley, or vertical steam turbine.
The thrust assembly is a mechanism having a thrust bearing capable of carrying the pump thrust, and a means of impeller
adjustment. Some drivers have thrust capacity in itself. In many applications, thrust assembly is an extra part. The pump line shaft is
connected to the driver shaft by a flexible coupling. The top of this drive is designed to mount solid shaft prime movers including
electric motors, steam turbines, radial engines or any other type of prime mover having a solid shaft that is suitable for mounting in
a vertical position.
Selection of the driver is governed by power requirements; availability of electric power and current characteristics; economic and
other considerations.

WELL PUMP SELECTION EXAMPLE

Proper selection of a deep well turbine pump requires complete and accurate information about the conditions of service for which
the pump is intended. This is important for to select the right pump to meet the desired working conditions and also for the life
cycle cost. Data to be furnished should include pump capacity, internal diameter of the well casing, depth of well, static water level,
dynamic water level at designated capacity (determined by well test), static head, friction losses through discharge line, velocity
head and total pumping head. If water analysis or other observations indicate corrosive water, then all available information on this
subject should be noted to aid in determining whether special materials are to be considered. An example of well pump selection is
given below, and for this purpose we will use the following conditions, which constitute a typical application with no complex
problems. Whether oil or water lubrication is furnished is a matter of customer preference, type of service and other considerations.
A WELL DESCRIPTION & OPERATING CONDITIONS
1. I.D. of well casing
2. Well depth
3. Static water level
4. Drawdown (at 60 l/s)
5. Dynamic water level (pumping water level)
6. Geometric head (lift above well head)
7. Discharge Line Losses (after discharge head)
8. Velocity Head
9. Total pump head (TPH) (sum of items 5, 6, 7 and 8)
10. Pump capacity

B BOWL ASSEMBLY SELECTION

According to well conditions and desired performance values with the power supply types and limitations, different selections can
be done. This selection is based on low investment cost (high speed low stage small pump), low life cycle cost (high efficiency, low
speed pump), low NPSHR, standard motor speed or different speeds with gear heads etc.
Refer to pump performance curves which show laboratory performance at various induction motor speeds. Unless otherwise stated
on curve sheets the values are per-stage performance. Keep in mind that the O.D. of the bowls must be less than the I.D. of well
casing into which the bowls must fit.
Performance curves are plotted from data obtained in our hydraulic test laboratory. Head-Capacity curves are the bowl
performance curves showing the relationship of amount of water pumped to corresponding bowl head. The curves are marked A, C
and the box above shows the corresponding impeller diameters. Select one or more curves at 2980 rpm showing the desired
capacity at the maximum efficiency, or slightly less, and then determine which shows the greatest head at this capacity. We find
three bowl units to consider:
Bowl Unit
10RL
10RM
10RH
Head/Stage
32.5 m
35.0 m
38.5 m
Bowl. Eff.
79.7 %
80.0 %
77.8 %
The 10RM impeller is obviously the best selection because of high efficiency and high head per stage. The total pumping head
required is 103 m, and the head per stage is 35.0 m, thus:
103
2.9 stages
35.0
Obviously it should be a 3 stage bowl assembly. The 10RM 3 stages bowl assembly will deliver 60 l/s at 105 m which is slightly in
excess of the head required. This is acceptable since we did not consider any head losses in the system. From the power curve,
approximate bowl power required by 10RM 3 stages bowl assembly is 78 kW.

C COLUMN SELECTION
The pump bowls must be submerged at all times; therefore, the column length must be minimum equal to the dynamic water level.
To provide protection against decrease water level and for applications where pump will sometimes operate at lower head and
higher capacity than design point (resulting in lower dynamic water level) pump setting should be from 3 to 6 m lower than normal
dynamic water level. The column length is commonly referred to as setting. In this case the required setting is taken as 55 m.
Following factors are established: Size and number of stages of bowl assembly; approximate bowl power required; depth of setting
and TPH.
Shaft selection table gives the maximum power that can be transmitted by a shaft at a given thrust load. Downthrust is the total
thrust load expressed in kilograms carried by the thrust bearing in the motor, gear drive or thrust assembly. It is the sum of the
weight of the rotating elements and the hydraulic downthrust of the impeller. Hydraulic thrust factors of the impellers are read
from performance curves. In this example, we calculate the hydraulic downthrust as:
HT 105 12.41 1300 kg hydraulic downthrust
Hence, 1 3/16 AISI 420 shaft is selected regarding these data and the shaft friction loss is calculated as:
kWL 2.8 2
55
3.1 kW
100
From the same table, oil tube size for 1 3/16 shaft is found to be 2. From the column friction loss table, we select 8 column pipes
and calculate the column friction loss as:
hC 3.18
55
1.75 m
100
Discharge head loss (hDH) is read from discharge head loss graph as 0.14 m for 8 nominal elbow size. Total Bowl Head (TBH) is
calculated as:
TBH TPH hC hDH 103 1.75 0.14 104.89 105 m
This head fall exactly on 10RM 3 stages bowl assembly curve so no impeller trim is required. Pump power is now calculated as:
kWP
Q l / s TBH m
1.02 B
kWL
60 105
3.1 80.2 kW
1.02 80.0
D MOTOR & DISCHARGE HEAD SELECTION

NEMA designs A, B, C and F poly-phase squirrel cage induction type integral power motors, 3 HP, 3 phase 50 Hz and larger, have a
service factor of 1.15. It is permissible to operate these motors at rated voltage and frequency in an ambient temperature not
exceeding 40C, at continuous load of 115% of rated load, with possible slight differences in efficiencies and power factor than those
rated at full load. We do not generally recommend exceeding the rated motor power by more than 10%.
In this example, we select a 90 kW, 3000 rpm (full load speed of 2980 rpm), 220/440 volt, 3 phase, 50 Hz vertical hollow shaft motor
(VHS) with 2000 kg thrust capability which is sufficient for this application.
Proper discharge head for this pump and motor is 17AC8 with 1 head shaft.

It is assumed that the lineshafts are enclosed and lubricated with a drip-feed oiling system or water-flushed with bronze
bearings spaced every 1.5 m. The table is also used for open, water-lubricated lineshafts where the standard bearings are
synthetic rubber and spaced every 3 m.
If the shaft is protected with journals, resulting in larger bearing diameters, these diameters should be used when reading
the chart.
For a system where the shaft is enclosed and the enclosing tube is flooded with oil, instead of drip-feed, twice the values
given in the table are used.
All the mechanical friction values are interpolated from the original data point at which a loss of 1.5 hp / 100 ft is read for the
shaft of diameter 2 1/2" running at 870 rpm by using following assumptions:
1) At a given shaft diameter, frictional loss is directly proportional with rotational speed.
2) At a given rotational speed, frictional loss is directly proportional with square of shaft diameter.
The first assumption is true and the errors associated with the second assumption are negligible.
These values represent approximate values valid for standard bearing lengths. If bearings with non-standard lengths are
used, this table does not give correct results.

IMPELLER TRIM
The effect on hydraulic performance of a centrifugal pump due to speed change or impeller trim can be determined by the
application of the formulae below. Different producers may use different formulae. These equations are theoretical and do
not always give the same results as an actual test. However, for small changes in speed and small impeller trims, they serve
as an excellent guide for calculating unknown performance characteristics from known values when test data are not
available.

Subscript 1 represents known values and subscript 2 represents unknown values. Efficiency is assumed to remain the same
for calculation purposes. Some variation may occur according to the amount of change or the design of the impellers and
bowls.
It can be seen from above equations that when we make a diameter trim (which is at constant speed), power approximately
changes with the cube of the diameter ratio, head approximately changes with the square of the diameter ratio and capacity
approximately changes directly with the diameter ratio.
There are two things to consider when making an impeller trim:
1 The impeller diameter is measured at the bottom shroud of the waterway as indicated on the drawing.
2 Machining angle C is the same for trimmed impeller as the maximum diameter impeller.

BOWL AND LINESHAFT BEARING TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Material
Temperature Range C
Remarks
Synthetic Rubber
~ 0 to 40
Standard water lube lineshaft bearing. Do not

use where H2S is present. Bearing must be wet
prior to start-up for settings over 15 m.
Bronze
~ -2 to 50
Standard bowl bearing. General purpose

bearing successfully applied on non-abrasive
fresh water and hydro-carbons.
Teflon
(Carbonized or Pure)
~ 0 to 150
Good for extreme temperature and nonabrasive fluids. Also excellent where fluid has
poor lubricating properties.
Different materials with special machining tolerances can be used for other duties.

USE OF CHECK VALVES

It is recommended that one or more check valves are always be used in submersible pump installations. If the pump does not
have a built-in check valve, a line check valve should be installed in the discharge line within 25 feet (7.6 m) of the pump and
below the drawdown level of the water supply. For deeper settings, it is recommended that a line check valve be installed
every 200 feet (61 m).
Swing type check valves should never be used with submersible pumps. When the pump stops, there is a sudden reversal of
flow before the swing check valve closes, causing a sudden change in the velocity of the water. Spring loaded check valves
should be used as they are designed to close quickly as the water flow stops and before it begins to move in the reverse
direction. There is little or no velocity of flow when the spring loaded valve closes and no hydraulic shock or water hammer is
produced by the closing of the valve.
Check valves are used to hold pressure in the system when the pump stops. They are also used to prevent backspin, water
hammer and upthrust. Any of these three or a combination of them can lead to immediate pump or motor failure, a
shortened service life or operating problems in the system.
a)
Backspin with no check valve or the check valve fails, the water in the drop pipe and the water in the system can flow
back down the discharge pipe when the motor stops. This can cause the pump to rotate in a reverse direction as the
water flows back down the pipe. If the motor is started while this is happening, a heavy strain may be placed across the
pump-motor assembly. It can also cause excessive thrust bearing wear because the motor is not turning fast enough to
ensure an adequate film of water in the thrust bearing.
b) Upthrust with no check valve, or with a leaking check valve, the unit starts each time under zero head conditions. With
most pumps, this causes an uplifting or upthrust on the impellers. This upward movement carries across the pumpmotor coupling and creates an upthrust condition in the motor. Repeated upthrust at each start can cause premature
wear and failure of either or both the pump and the motor.
c) Water Hammer if the lowest check valve is more than 30 feet (9.1 m) above the standing water level or the lower
check valve leaks and the check valve above holds, a partial vacuum is created in the discharge piping. On the next pump
start, water moving at very high velocity fills the void and strikes the closed check valve and the stationary water in the
pipe above it, causing a hydraulic shock. This shock can split pipes, break joints and damage the pump and/or motor.
Water hammer is an easily detected noise. When discovered, the system be shut down and the pump installer contacted
to correct the problem.

PRE-LUBRICATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OPEN LINESHAFT PUMPS

During operation, pumped water fills the column and lubricates the lineshaft bearings. However, at startup or shutdown
special care must be taken to make sure that bearings are wetted never operates dry. Pre-lubrication of lineshaft bearings
depend on pump type and column length.
d) Small pumps may have bottom check valve. In this case, pre-lubrication is necessary in the first startup. Generally prelubrication is not necessary in the later startups because the bottom check valve ensures that the column is filled with
water.
e) A pre-lubrication tank with a 1 pipe and valve is installed after the check valve of the discharge line at the pump exit.
Before the startup, valve of the pre-lubrication tank is opened and water flows to the column. After the pre-lubrication
tank fills the column, pump can be operated. Valve of the pre-lubrication tank should be kept open until the prelubrication tank is filled again by the pump.
For different column pipe diameters and column lengths, below table is used to determine the size of the pre-lubrication
tank.

Non-reverse mechanisms should be used to prevent the back flow of the water through the pump when the pump is
shut down. If there is no non-reverse mechanism, pre-lubrication should be done as explained before. Also make sure
that when the pump is started there is no reverse rotation of the pump due to back flow of water. This may induce a
very critical load to the driver. For low settings, non-reverse mechanisms may not be used.
