Burks # 3600G9-2-1/2 Centrifugal Pump and Motor 60 HP

The Burks 3600G9-2-1/2 is a Cast Iron Centrifugal Pump and Motor with a Bronze 9. 00 inch diameter Impeller, Buna-N/Carbon/Ceramic/Stainless Steel Mechanical Seal, 3 Inch Inlet x 2-1/2 Inch Outlet Ports, close coupled to a 60 Horsepower, 3500 RPM, 230/460 Volts, 3 Phase, ODP Open Drip Proof, 60Hz, 326JM nema frame electric Motor. This Centrifugal pump is designed for general purpose pumping, water circulation, liquid transfer or booster service, and is especially well suited for HVAC condesate return, cooling and boiler feed applications because of it's low NPSH. It is silent, and efficient, so it is ideal for convenient equipment location in offices, laboratories, public areas, and living quarters. Long trouble-free service life has made these centrifugal pumps acceptable for industrial uses or wherever clean or contaminated liquids compatible with Cast Iron and Bronze is to be transferred or handled. These close-coupled centrifugal pumps from Burks provide economical performance for 150 to 370 GPM applications requiring heads to 360 feet. For exact performance of this pump please consult the performance curve for the horsepower and impeller diameter speicified for this model. By combining the latest concepts in pump design with precision manufacturing, the G9 Series pumps deliver excellent efficiency and low NPSH requirements. Efficient manufacturing processes and highly optimized mechanical designs control costs. Maintenance costs are kept to a minimum by combining a highly serviceable design with quality components to provide a long service life. This Burks centrifugal pump has a single rotating enclosed bronze impeller of the latest hydraulic design for maximum efficiency. The pump impeller is balanced for vibration-free operation and threaded onto a stainless steel motor shaft. Radial split casing design casing is close grain iron of 30,000 P. S. I. minimum tensile strength. Back pull-out design eliminates the need to disturb piping should the pump ever require service - the casing stays in the line. Centerline discharge. Stud mounted casing assures positive alignment and allows rotation of discharge to eight different positions. Openings are provided for test gauges, for venting and for draining the pump. The Cast Iron pump casing/volute has a replaceable casing wear ring that prevents wear on casing and is easy to replace. This pump has a Bronze shaft sleeve - the gasketed and keyed hook-type sleeve protects shaft from wear and corrosion in seal area. The operating temperature limits of this pump depend on the seal elastomer and the operating temperature limit for the pump with the Buna-N seal is 225 degrees F (107 degrees C). The pump shaft seal is a mechanical seal with ceramic seat and carbon seal face for maximum durability, and long trouble-free service. This centrifugal pump should never be started or run dry. Operating a pump dry will cause scoring of the mechanical seal, resulting in premature seal failure. To prevent the pump from being run dry, it should be primed before starting. The motor on this pump has open drip proof construction and is rated with pump motor service factors for continuous duty operation. This motor must be installed with magnetic a starter which must provide full 3-leg protection. Failure to use correct starter and overloads will void motor warranty. Motors are 326JM frame size with NEMA standard mounting flange, extended steel shaft and dual bearings. These motors offer the advantages of quiet operation, controlled shaft deflection for longer seal life, and bearings sized to provide good service life. The wetted material in contact with the liquid are Cast Iron, Bronze, 303 Stainless Steel, and Buna-N. The dimensions of this pump are 32 inches long, 18-1/2 inches high, and 24 inches wide.
