One of the pumping systems we often use when manufacturing our larger Reverse Osmosis (RO) MACU-Pure systems is a Torpedo Pump.
The Torpedo Pump typically costs 10-15% more than a vertical stack pump yet there are thousands of Torpedo Pumps in service. Why would one ever want to pay more for this pump? It's because in the end there are SEVERAL advantages to this pump over a vertical pump and it all comes down to reliability and lower operating costs in the long-run.
To start, Torpedo Pumps have a service life greater than 30 years. They can handle the rigorous requirements in ships, being trailer mounted, and any other portable application because there is no flexible coupling that can go out of alignment between the motor and the pump. The alignment of the pump cannot fail, even if dropped or vibrated during transit or operation. This makes the Torpedo Pump a natural fit for mounting on a moving platform, especially when you consider how many industrial facilities shake and vibrate because of the extremely large machines being operated.
Additionally, Torpedo Pumps don't require any scheduled maintenance or lubrication. These pumps are even specifically designed to be rebuilt instead of replaced, which can save you a lot of money if any issues arise.
As mentioned above, Torpedo Pumps don't require scheduled maintenance to maintain performance. All pump motors have an efficiency rating. The negative efficiency (%) is the HEAT that is rejected to the surrounding cooling medium. In the case of air-cooled motors, this waste heat is lost to the air. With the T-PUMP, the waste heat is rejected to the surrounding water which, through tempering, raises the efficiency of the RO membranes.
