AERCT Series


The Fabtek-Aero AERCT Series Regenerative Turbine Pumps at 60Hz, 3450RPM are capable of producing capacities up to 22 gallons per minute with pressures up to 260PSI for temperatures up to 230°F, with a standard mechanical seal. Temperature to 300°F or higher can be achieved with the use of a seal cooling jacket specially designed for the AERCT Series.

 

These compact close-coupled pumps are designed for clear water and many other non-abrasive, lower viscosity liquids. They are especially engineered for boiler feed service on steam process applications.

Aero CT Series

Close-coupled regenerative turbine pumps represent the most economical, high performance alternative for low flow (1/2 to 22 GPM) clean fluid applications involving moderate to high pressures (heads to 600 feet). By combining the latest concepts in hydraulic turbine pump design with precision computer controlled manufacturing, the AERCT Series pumps deliver high efficiency operation even at low NPSH. Costs are controlled by efficient manufacturing processes and highly optimized pump designs. Maintenance costs are kept to a minimum by combining an easily serviceable design with the use of high quality components to provide long life.

AERCS Series


Fabtek-Aero AERCS Series Close-coupled regenerative turbine pumps represent the most economical, high performance alternative for low flow (2 to 40 GPM) clean fluid applications involving moderate to high pressures (heads to 700 feet). By combining the latest concepts in regenerative turbine pump design with precision computer controlled manufacturing, the AERCS Series pumps deliver high efficiency operation, even at low NPSH.

Water Passage Design

Fabtek-Aero masters one of the most critical design considerations for regenerative turbine pumps -- the shaping of water passageways to achieve highest capacity and pressure while minimizing horsepower requirements. By optimizing water passageway cross-sectional profiles for each impeller, Fabtek-Aero has improved both efficiency and pressure in the AERCS Series, and exceeds the levels realized by previous techniques.


Impeller Profile

One of the most notable improvements in regenerative turbine pump technology incorporated in AERCS Series pumps involves the ability to determine the optimum impeller width and blade length. These factors have a significant effect on the required horsepower versus pressure curve for regenerative turbine pumps. By optimizing these for each AERCS Series pump, peak efficiency is improved and “off peak” horsepower requirements are reduced as well.


Impeller Blades

After the most favorable impeller profile has been determined for a particular water passageway cross-section, Fabtek-Aero calculates the number of blades needed to maximize the performance of that pump. Current blade design in AERCS Series pumps increases both efficiency and design pressure without the manufacturing difficulties associated with producing contoured blade impellers. State-of-the-art computer controlled machines simplify manufacturing of the various Fabtek-Aero impellers utilized in the AERCS Series. The result is a high performance pump providing efficiency characteristics exceeding those of more expensive units.

 

Fabtek-Aero AERCR, AERCT, AERCS Series

Fabtek-Aero AERCR, AERCT, and AERCS Series close coupled regenerative turbine pumps are specifically designed for boiler feedwater in the Laundry and Dry-cleaning industry. By combining the latest concepts in hydraulic turbine pump design with precision computer controlled manufacturing, the AERCR, AERCT, and AERCS Series pumps deliver high efficiency operation. Costs are controlled by efficient manufacturing processes and highly optimized pump designs. Maintenance costs are kept to a minimum by combining an easily serviceable design with the use of high quality components to provide long life.

Self-Adjusting Impeller
A hydrodynamic film on each side of the impeller positions it for long life. The impeller exerts no thrust load on bearings. Pump operates equally well in a vertical or horizontal position.

Mechanical Seals
All stainless steel pumps have Buna elastomers, high temperature carbon, and ceramic seats for best hot water service.

300# Case Working Pressure 
Rigid structure is designed for maximum casing strength.

100% Tested
Every pump is fully tested to verify performance prior to shipment.

Volatile Fluid Handling
Turbine impeller handles vapors in excess of 20% by volume, minimizing the possibility of vapor locks.

”O”Ring Gaskets
“O”ring seals are used throughout the AERCR, AERCT, and AERCS Series pumps to assure sealing and ease of service.

Simple Construction
AERCR, AERCT, and AERCS Series pumps contain only three major components, allowing for easy service.

End Suction • Top Discharge
AERCR, AERCT, and AERCS Series pumps fit into small spaces easily. Discharge can be rotated to 90 degree, 180 degree and 270 degree positions.

Best Efficiency
New pump design optimizes efficiency for each size.

Non-Cavitating
AERCR, AERCT, and AERCS series pumps may be operated under adverse inlet conditions without audible or measurable cavitation.
