Patent attributes
Single suction centrifugal pumps, pump casings, pump systems and vehicles for using pumps which include a single piece casing having a first cut-water wall and a second cut-water wall, corresponding joint-water paths communicating with respective discharge nozzles, the second cut-water wall spanning less than 180 degrees from a leading edge of the second cut-water wall to a trailing edge of the second cute-water wall, and in aspects, the discharge nozzles are offset from a horizontal centerline of a center opening of the casing, the cut-water walls define a diameter which is greater than 1.07 times the impeller diameter, and the diameter is constant for a portion of the walls and transitions to a varying diameter at trailing ends of the walls.
