De Laval pumps?

De Laval pumps?

De Laval pumps?

(OP)
Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone on the board works with any old De Laval pumps. Basically, I'm trying to get a hold of the pump curves for some pretty old De Laval pumps. I know they were acquired by IMO, and then Colfax, but there's no information on either of those websites.

Any tips on where to find pump curves for legacy pumps?

Thanks!


RE: De Laval pumps?

It might help if you gave us the model, serial, date of manufacture, etc.

Sure -

De Laval U24/20D
De Laval P16/14D

I'm actually looking for the NPSH curve, if it's there.

RE: De Laval pumps?

I think they're about 70 years old.

The U24 is rated 21,684gpm @ 240' - 900RPM and 1500HP
The P16 is rated 10,000gpm @ 240' - 900 RPM and 700HP

RE: De Laval pumps?

If you can't find the curves, you might be able to reconstruct an approximation based on specific speed.
