RPHb
PDF datasheet mirror for RPHb (KSB Pumps). Verify with OEM before design.
Summary
Product identification
The RPHb is a single-suction, two-stage heavy-duty BB2 process pump designed to API 610 / ISO 13709 standards.
Applications
- Refineries
- Petrochemical and chemical industries
- Onshore and offshore processes
Features
- Robust design for longer service life
- Process pump in heavy-duty design to API 610
- Optimised pressure boundary and hydraulic system with reinforced optimised shaft
- Wide range of variants for a broad application range and optimum adaptation to the system
- Numerous flange designs
- Large choice of materials
- Coolable/heatable seal housing
- Various bearing lubrication variants
- Long service life and high reliability of the bearings
- Heavy-duty paired 40° angular contact ball bearings
- Diffuser design and impellers in back-to-back arrangement
- Standard version with oil ring lubrication and labyrinth seals
- Version with hydrodynamic bearings for higher energy density
- Lower operating costs and higher system availability
- Comprehensive hydraulic selection chart for optimum selection
- Better efficiencies and NPSH values than OH2 pumps
- No need for a separate cooling circuit; integrated cooling fins and optional fan impeller ensure optimum cooling of the bearing brackets.
- Ease of service
- Easy to monitor and service due to top-top flange arrangement
- Suction-side casing cover simplifies rotor removal.
- Straightforward servicing due to mechanical seals to API 682 (cartridge design)
- Replaceable casing and impeller wear rings
- Modular design system reduces spare parts stock.
