The Weda D95, a new generation electric submersible dewatering pump from Atlas Copco Power and Flow, is designed for use in highly abrasive situations including mining, tunneling, and construction. It incorporates cutting-edge Wear Deflector Technology.
The newest pump in the Weda D drainage family, the Weda D95, has a power rating of 37–43kW and incorporates the ground-breaking Wear Deflector Technology created to reduce wear and ensure consistent performance over a longer operational life. A high chromium wear-resistant impeller and solid-redirecting auxiliary vanes are among the features. Moreover, the pump has hydraulics that can be easily realigned to correct for wear, extending the life of the pump.
According to Bart Duijvelaar, Product Marketing Manager – Submersible pumps at Atlas Copco Power and Flow, “there are frequently many suspended solids in tough applications which can cause excessive abrasion and wear to the internal workings of the pump.” “To build this new long-lasting and dependable pump, we have refined the hydraulic design using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and employed 21st century manufacturing processes mixed with decades of experience.”
Moreover, the pump was made to be serviceable and maintainable. Users can do inspection and maintenance on the spot themselves thanks to the design, which minimizes downtime and related expenses. For instance, the mechanical seal is a singular stainless-steel cartridge rather than a number of distinct parts, making it simple to repair in its whole.
Moreover, the Weda D95 has exterior oil inspection screws. Without having to disassemble the entire pump, operators may quickly reach the screws to check the oil quality and the condition of the seal. As a result, users may easily do preventive maintenance and identify issues before they result in failure. Overall, because of how easily it can be serviced, the pump may be returned to its original functionality without requiring many parts to be changed.
At the design stage, Atlas Copco is addressing product performance and technical issues with cutting-edge manufacturing and 3D modeling tools.
