EV-R type: vertical multistage pumps top/bottom ports

Franklin Electric is pleased to announce the introduction of the vertical multistage pump with overlapping ports.
This special version is based on a discharge port above the suction port with a new design of the outer casing and bottom casing.

The new EV-R type allows a 50 % reduction in footprint due to a different pipe positioning in parallel instead of in-line configuration.

FEATURES

• Discharge port above the suction port
• Full Stainless steel AISI304 construction
• Range from EV 6 up to EV 20
• Pressure rating PN16

Cooling sleeve kits for Franklin Electric submersible motor pumps

Franklin Electric is expanding its portfolio of accessories and now offers cooling sleeves for all Franklin Electric motors.

The heat loss generated by the submersible motor must be dissipated to the pumped medium by means of convection.

If the minimum cooling speed along the submersible motor cannot be guaranteed, it is mandatory to install a cooling sleeve to generate sufficient cooling. Inadequate cooling can have various causes, such as a well diameter that is too large, the application in “open” water, insufficient flow rate or water inflow from above (top feeding).

To provide cooling, the pump-motor unit is supplemented by a cooling sleeve. This separate „sheet metal jacket” is sealed above the pump inlet. The pumped medium is thus sucked in from below and directed past the motor to dissipate the generated motor heat loss (convection).

Appropriate brackets and inlet strainers are available for horizontal installation.

Kit components:

1              Cooling sleeve tube (Stainless steel)
2              Pump sealing ring (EPDM) with drinking water approval
3              Motor spacer
4              Pipe clamps
5              Filter strainer (accessories)
6              Console (accessory for horizontal mounting)

Optimizing of the packaging for the 6" encapsulated motors

To optimize the handling and shipment of the 6" encapsulated motors, we have optimized the packaging concept of the motors.

The motor packaging has been complemented with a single wooden pallet. This will change the height of the package by 136 mm. The width and length of the packaging are the same as before.

This improvement will facilitate the transport, handling and storage logistics of the motors, particularly in the case of heavy motor weights. 

Packaging design 

This is a running change since Q3/2021.

 Please do not hesitate to contact your Franklin Electric contact for additional information.

The technology enables smooth operation in applications with higher levels of sand.

We are pleased to announce the launch of FE Select EMENA, a digital selection software tool that simplifies product selection, configuration, and quoting. This online tool guides you through the process from start to finish, requiring only the basic application data, such as flow and head demands, to size many pumping systems. The software properly matches the components necessary for the desired application, provides specific data sheets and offers links to related informational product documentation.

 Features of FE Select:

• 24/7 accessibility
• A quick export option that allows to simplify the quotation request
• Simple software navigation

Starting from today, FE Select is available for Vertical Multistage pumps.

Selection tools Franklin Electric EMENA:

More products will be added over time to FE Select. The link will be displayed on the applicable product pages on the website franklinwater.eu. By clicking on this link you can easily start the selection process.

In addition to FE Select, we will continue to utilize our current Pump selector software for Etech products and High

Efficiency System Selection and Payback Tool until they will also be integrated into the new FE Select software at a later date. To visit our comprehensive Pump Selection page, click here.
