Feed requirements of boilers demand a system that produces non-stop service for single or double boiler installations. These Aurora boiler feed units get the job done.

The turbine pump derives its name from the many buckets machined into the periphery of the rotating impeller which permits development of a relatively high pressure in an efficient and economic manner. More pressure is developed within the turbine pump than with a comparable size centrifugal pump. The pumped liquid is directed by the water passage so that it circulates in and out of the buckets many times on its way from the pump inlet to the pump outlet. Additional energy is added to the liquid each time it passes through the buckets so the numerous passes generate a high discharge pressure. The pressure is developed without pulsations. While close clearances are used within the turbine pumps, there is no metal to metal contact. Volatile liquids are handled easily because a turbine pump readily handles vapor and air along with the liquid, thus eliminating the possibility of a vapor lock within the pump. Free-flowing and non-lubricating liquids are handled with a minimum of wear to pump parts because there is no metal to metal contact within the pump channel. The illustrations indicate the principle used in the handling of the liquid and developing of pressure in a regenerative turbine pump. |
