FAQ about Flowserve Menbloc Overhung Pump
Q1: What is an overhung pump
A: An overhung pump is a centrifugal pump where the impeller is mounted at the end of the shaft. This compact arrangement is commonly used for end suction water pump designs in water services such as HVAC circulation and utility duties.
Q2: What makes Menbloc different from frame mounted pumps
A: Menbloc is close coupled and does not require a baseplate or coupling. This reduces installation footprint and alignment work and can lower total installed cost.
Q3: What applications is Menbloc used for
A: Menbloc is used for water supply, water treatment, irrigation, drainage, HVAC circulation and general industrial water services. It can also be applied in fire protection water supply and utility support where applicable.
Q4: What is the typical capacity range
A: Typical literature lists up to 340 m3/h flow, up to 100 m head and up to 16 bar discharge pressure, with final selection depending on size, speed and duty point.
Q5: How does the Menbloc design support lower maintenance
A: The open seal chamber includes vortex breaking ribs, which helps improve the seal environment and can extend mechanical seal life in water service duties.
