Non-Return Valve
(Discharge)
Submersible Pump End Feature
Flowserve submersible pump units are multistage centrifugal
units which operate below water level and are driven by
water-filled AC three-phase induction submersible motors.
Pump Bowl
Pumps and motors form a single enclosed unit which
when installed vertically in a water well is held in position
by the connected discharge pipe at the non-return valve or
discharge casing.
Pump Shaft
Flowserve submersible pump units are offered in a wide
range of applications. Pumps are available from 4" to 48"
bowl diameter with capacities up to 6000 m3/h (25000 gpm)
and heads up to 800 m (2600 ft).
Pump Impeller
Pump units are designed and manufactured to the highest
quality with high pump efficiency and long working life under
the most adverse conditions. They are extensively tested and
inspected to ensure operational safety.
Suction Casing
Submersible Motor
Flowserve pump units are designed on the principle of a
modular structure. Thus, with a limited number of parts,
different tailor-made requests can be achieved. Pumps
are equipped with non-return valves to guarantee optimal
functional safety (water hammer).
Flowserve submersible pump units provide economic
solutions for almost every users requirements.
To produce high-quality submersible pumps and motors
requires both specialized know-how and continually evolving
manufacturing processes. All submersible pump products
are produced using the most advanced manufacturing
techniques from initial development base CAD to qualitycontrolled CNC production equipment. It is not by chance
that among experts Flowserve has been a byword for top
product quality for decades.

Pleuger submersible motors have been providing successful
and reliable service since 1929. The three-phase AC squirrel
cage induction motors are water / glycol filled (65 volume %
potable water and 35 volume % glycol).
The water / glycol motor filling provides lubrication of motor
bearings and motor cooling. The admixture of glycol is
environmentally safe. The admixture prevents freezing of
the motor filling liquid to cool components while mitigating
corrosion.
The motor windings consist of fully waterproof / high
di-electric strength windings (PVC or PE2+PA) insulation
class Y (90C).
The motor windings are fully rewindable. The electrical power
supply is provided by a uniquely developed waterproof submersible motor lead-out cable. The cable(s) are sealed at the
motor with special designed cable glands.
The dynamically balanced rotor rotates in oversized twin
bearings on each bearing housing (top and bottom of motors).
An installed diaphragm in the lower motor housing provides
pressure / volume compensation of the motor during internal
motor temperature changes.
At different water submergence ranges, the diaphragm
produces pressure compensation, i.e., to get the same
pressure outside and inside (no pressure difference). A
high-quality mechanical seal prevents the ingress of ambient
liquid to the motor, fully protecting the motor against internal
contamination. A high-quality adjustable, self-aligning
thrust bearing allows high thrust service life, even under the
heaviest pump duty conditions. Pleuger submersible motor
designs are available for vertical or horizontal installations. In
maintaining our reputation as a leading supplier of pumping
systems for the water industry, Flowserve continues to
update and improve Pleuger submersible motors.
