Bronze Pedestal Gear Pump - N11HDP

The N11HDP features all bronze castings and stainless steel shafts, ensuring a corrosion-resistant pump with a longevity that is unmatched in harsh industrial environments. This pump is a testament to durability and is built to handle the toughest of tasks. 

The versatility of the N11HDP is highlighted by its interchangeable sealing arrangement, which can be adapted in the field with the appropriate seal conversion kit. The pump further boasts an outboard ball bearing support, enhancing its robustness and service life. 

One of the most significant features of the N11HDP is its self-lubricating carbon bearings pump design, which minimizes the need for maintenance and ensures a smooth operation. For those requiring precise control, the gear pump electric clutch option provides on-demand operation, making it a flexible solution for a variety of systems. 

Performance:

Drive & Alignment
The N11HDP excels as a direct drive gear pump, recommended for its efficiency and ease of maintenance. The pump also supports belt drive configurations without the need for pillow block bearings, a testament to its durable design. Maintaining correct pump alignment is critical for optimal performance and longevity, especially after the pump is integrated into the existing piping.

Noise
As with many large gear pumps, the N11HDP can produce noise due to the metal-to-metal contact within its mechanism. While there are methods for gear pump noise reduction, such as lowering the operational speed and using isolation mounts, these may not always provide a significant noise decrease. Therefore, strategic placement of the pump is advised to minimize disruption.

Suction Lift
High Suction Lift Gear Pump: The N11HDP is also a high suction lift gear pump, capable of elevating water up to 20 feet (~6 m) on the suction side. This characteristic, coupled with its self-priming gear pump capabilities, ensures reliable operation across various applications. However, to optimize performance, the use of a gear pump foot valve is recommended.

For operations that involve extracting water from open sources such as streams or ponds, the use of a pump strainer and foot valve is essential to prevent debris from compromising the pump's functionality. These components are readily available as combined units, offering convenience and protection for the pumping system.

Seal Conversion Kits
Seal conversion kits for the N11HDP are designed for quick and efficient maintenance. These kits facilitate easy removal and replacement of the pump's seals, ensuring that the pump can be serviced without significant downtime. 

Service Wear Factors
Several factors can influence the wear and service life of the N11HDP: 

• Speed: As a low-speed gear pump, it is recommended to operate the N11HDP at the lowest possible speed to minimize wear and maximize its lifespan. 

• Pressure:: The N11HDP is built to withstand high-pressure environments but operating at the lowest necessary pressure will help to prolong the pump's life. 

• Liquid Temperature: Excessive temperatures can accelerate wear on the pump. It is advisable to keep the liquid temperature as close to room temperature as possible for optimal pump performance. 

• Liquid Contamination: The presence of impurities like fine abrasive silt or sand can hasten wear. Keeping the pumped liquid clean is crucial for maintaining the pump's service life, making it an efficient gear pump for oils and other lubricating liquids.
