Features and Benefits
- WUC is the ultimate double case vertical pump
- The WUC covers the highly engineered specialty end of Flowserve’s family of double casing vertical pumps
- This pump line is based on a modular system, thus providing maximum design and operating flexibility
- This is combined with specific design features, including stiff shaft construction, a self-contained axial thrust bearing housing and pressure containing parts certified to various international standards
- This makes the WUC to the pump of choice for most critical applications where space considerations or marginal NPSHa values preclude the use of a horizontal pump
- Special designed WUC pumps are capable to handle cryogenic liquids (like Methane, Ethylene, LNG, LPG, etc.) down to -200°C (-328°F)
- For exceptionally low NPSHa applications the WUC can be equipped with an inducer; double suction impellers are available for selected hydraulics
- The full API 610 compliant WUC will be engineered to customer specifications, is designed to meet all material requirements and will perfectly meet the selected service conditions
