Pump station Pedrollo HF JSWm 1BX/24-CL

Principle of operation

The Pedrollo pumping station of the JSW series includes self-priming centrifugal electric pumps.
The self-priming effect is achieved thanks to the ejector installed in the pump housing. Only a part of the total feed generated by the impeller of the closed centrifugal tone is sent to the discharge pipe; the rest is recirculated by means of an ejector, which, being connected to the suction chamber, creates in it the vacuum necessary for self-priming.
At the first start, it is enough to fill the pump housing with water; it is not necessary to fill the suction pipe and remove any air pockets that may be present. At the moment of start-up, the water contained in the housing, circulating through the ejector, will move the air from the suction chamber to the discharge chamber, pushing it through the discharge pipeline. At the same time, the vacuum created in this way will cause the water level in the suction pipe to rise, thereby causing self-priming. The constant operation of the self-priming system makes such pumps practically insensitive to the presence (even significant) of dissolved air in the liquid being pumped.

Scope and installation

Pumping stations of this series are recommended for pumping clean water and chemically non-aggressive liquids. Due to their reliability, ease of operation and cost-effectiveness, these pumping stations can be successfully used in everyday life, in particular, for automatic water supply in conjunction with small and medium-sized hydraulic accumulators, for irrigating vegetable gardens, orchards, etc. The installation of the pumping station must be carried out indoors or in places protected from the weather.
