Concrete Volute Proven Design
With more than 70 years
Pumps
experience, Flowserve is a
global leader in the design and
manufacture of concrete volute
pumps. These pumps have a
well-earned reputation for trouble-
free operation with minimal
maintenance. A testament to
their reliability is the years of
continuous operation reported
by customers worldwide.
Pump Types
• BSV open, mixed flow
impeller
• BCV closed, mixed flow
impeller
Typical Applications
Incorporating many advanced
construction features, these
pumps offer advantages in
large flow pump applications:
• Condenser cooling
• Water intake
• Irrigation
• Drainage
• Dry dock dewatering
Cooling Water or Water Intake
These services require pumps
for continuous operation and
adaptability to local conditions.
The BSV type pump is typically
applied on open or combined
cooling water systems in
power plants with river or
sea source water. In closed
systems such as cooling
towers or where high head
is needed, the BCV type
is recommended.
Pump Division
Drainage and Irrigation
Concrete volute pumps
were originally designed
more than 80 years ago
for drainage of polders,
or reclaimed low-lying
land protected by dikes.
Today, these pumps are
made of prefabricated
concrete segments for
the volute housing and
intake suction bell. Pump
assembly is integrated
into the civil construction
to reduce installation
costs. Screens and
specially designed valves
provide pump and
emergency protection.

Pump Pull-out Unit
This unit consists of a pump
cover utilizing a radial bearing
housing and a bearing pedestal.
These contain the top bearing
housing with a spherical roller
thrust bearing and a radial roller
bearing. The spherical roller
thrust bearing is oil lubricated
and is provided with an oil level
gauge; if necessary an oil-water
or oil-air cooler can be applied.
Both radial bearings are grease
lubricated. The statically bal-
anced impeller is flanged to the
impeller hub, which is shrink

Maintenance (MTBPM)
• MTBPM of over five
years is realized as no
bearings are in contact
with the water. The
roller bearing inside
the pump cover is
designed for a lifetime
of over 100 000 hours.
• Prefabricated concrete
offers high corrosion
and erosion resistance.
• Massive concrete
pump construction
substantially reduces
noise and vibration.
The Liquidyne® shaft seal
provides:
• Leak-free sealing
• Virtually maintenance-
free seal
• Long life
• Increased pump
reliability
An inflatable static seal
guarantees replacement
of sealing lips and radial
bearing without removal
of the pump unit.

Prefabricated Concrete
Segments (off site)
Benefits of off site prefabrication
include:
• Production simplification
• Better quality control
– Dimensional accuracy
– Thorough inspection
• High quality concrete grade
B35, environmental class 4 of
VBT 1986 (NEN 5950)
• Sulfate resistant cement for
protection against sulfate
attack, alkali-aggregate reac-
tions and chloride penetration
in tropical seawater services
• Better site planning
• Facilitation of on-site
construction activities
Prefabricated Concrete
Segments (on site)
The prefabricated elements
of the suction bell mouth are
assembled, adjusted and then
grouted with surrounding
concrete as are the concrete
elements of the pump volute
casing.
These procedures allow efficient
site planning plus:
• Time and cost savings of
on site concrete work
• Reduced risks with Flowserve
responsibility for:
– Construction of prefabricated
concrete elements
– Supervision of on site
concrete work
– Civil engineering calculations
for the concrete pump and
adjacent flow passages
Pump Division
Advantages Over
Wet Pit Pumps
Concrete volute pumps
offer these cost saving
benefits when compared
with wet pit pumps:
• Less excavation depth
is required, due to the
intake suction box
design.
• The pump casing volute
is integrated with the
civil construction of the
pumping station.
• The prefab concrete
volute elements for
volute and suction bell
do not require shutter-
ing. Just-in-time delivery
of the prefab elements
reduces on site
construction time.
• Simple outdoor assem-
bly is possible, thereby
avoiding costly roof
constructions.
• Due to low cranage
height and weight of
the pump pull-out unit
a mobile crane easily
handles maintenance
chores.
• Only pump cover and
impeller are in contact
with water.

Options and Pump Drive

Pumps may be driven directly
Technical Data
or through a gearbox. In the
latter case, the pump shaft is
connected via two spacer type
teeth couplings to the driver,
thereby avoiding misalignment.
The electric motor and the
pump each has an axial
thrust bearing.
