Vertical Turbine Pumps

A vertical turbine pump (VTP) is a specialized type of rotodynamic pump designed handle high flow rates while moving fluid from deep wells or reservoirs to the surface. Its impellers are submerged in the fluid it’s pumping, and the motor is located above the surface.

Vertical turbine pumps handle a wide range of flow rates and high heads, making them suitable for applications such as:

• cooling water
• cooling towers
• low NPSHA applications
• high-pressure multi-stage
• industrial submerged (wet pit), where motor is above water

Due to their vertical design, vertical turbine pumps offer several advantages. With their small footprint, they can be a good solution where tight spaces or size requirements limit pump size. They offer efficiency and are self-priming. Because the length of the pump can be extended below ground and pumping stages added as needed, these pumps can handle various head conditions.
