GQS, GQV

PDF datasheet mirror for GQS, GQV (Calpeda Pumps). Verify with OEM before design.

Summary

Product identification

The Calpeda GQS and GQV are single-impeller submersible pumps designed for sewage and drainage applications, featuring a free-flow (vortex) impeller.

  • GQS models: Equipped with a vertical threaded delivery port (G 2”).
  • GQV models: Equipped with a horizontal flanged and threaded delivery port (DN 50 - G 2”).

Operating limits

  • Liquid temperature: Up to 35°C
  • pH value: 6-11
  • Maximum immersion depth: 5 m
  • Minimum immersion depth: 275 mm
  • Duty: Continuous (with submerged motor)
  • Kinematic viscosity: Max 20 mm²/sec
  • Density: 1000 kg/m³

Feed water

These pumps are suitable for domestic or industrial waste water, dirty water with solids up to 50 mm grain size, and other liquids compatible with the pump materials. Applications include draining rooms, emptying tanks, extraction of water from ponds, streams, or pits, and rainwater collection.

Mechanical / hydraulic

  • Construction:
    • Double mechanical shaft seal with an interposed oil chamber provides protection against dry-running.
    • The free-flow (vortex) impeller construction is particularly suitable for liquids containing solids up to 50 mm grain size.
    • Pump casing and impeller are treated with epoxy cataphoresis and external paint for enhanced rust protection.
    • A relief valve is fitted to release air around the impeller, ensuring proper pump priming even after long standstill periods.
  • Materials:
    • Pump casing: Cast iron GJL 200 EN 1561
    • Impeller, Motor jacket, Jacket cover, Casing cover: Chrome-nickel steel 1.4301 EN 10088 (AISI 304)
    • Handle: Polypropylene (with frame in AISI 304)
    • Shaft: Chrome-nickel steel 1.4301 EN 10088 (AISI 304)
    • Mechanical seal (upper): Ceramic alumina/Carbon/NBR
    • Seal lubrication oil: Oil for food/pharmaceutical machinery
  • Delivery Ports & Connections:
    • GQS models feature a G 2” vertical threaded port.
    • GQV models feature a DN 50 - G 2” horizontal flanged and threaded port.
    • Connection flexibility includes Flange DN 50 PN 10 EN 1092-2, 4 M8 holes on Ø 90 for duck foot coupling SA-G2”, and G 2 ISO 228.
