Abstract
A centrifugal pump mounting structure which allows easy, sturdy, and reliable mounting of a pump on a support bed in several different attitudes. The mounting system of the present invention includes legs situated at the opposite side of the pump to that of the pressure outlet opening and on both sides of the longitudinal plane passing through the pump shaft and the pressure outlet opening; in which the legs have two planar surfaces for mounting of the pump; and in which there are, on both sides of the pressure outlet opening substantially in the longitudinal plane passing through the shaft of the pump, brackets with planar mounting surfaces for mounting the pump.
Claims16
A centrifugal pump structure comprising an impeller casing (1) with a suction inlet opening (5) and a pressure outlet opening (6), a pump body (2), a bearing housing (3), and a longitudinally extending shaft (4) for rotatably mounting an impeller within said impeller casing, wherein the impeller casing (1) is provided with legs (7, 17) for mounting the pump on a bed (10), characterized in that the legs (7, 17) are situated spaced apart at the opposite side of the pump to the pressure outlet opening (6) and on opposite sides of a longitudinal plane passing through the pump shaft (4) and the pressure outlet opening (6);
- said legs (7, 17) each having first and second planar surfaces (27, 37) extending in different directions for mounting of the pump;
- and further including on opposite sides of the pressure outlet opening (6) brackets (8) with planar mounting surfaces (18, 28) lying substantially in said longitudinal plane.
