Heavy Duty Process Pumps According To API 610, 11 Ed. Type NCR

Heavy Duty Process Pumps
according to API 610, 11th ed.

Type NCR
General
The DICKOW-pumps, type NCR, are heavy duty

centrifugal pumps for petroleum, petrochemical
and natural gas industries. The pumps are
designed and manufactured according to API
610, 11th ed. / ISO 13709. This international
standard specifies requirements for centrifugal
pumps used in the above mentioned industries.
The standard does not refer to any outline
dimensions of the pumps.

Design
The NCR-pumps are centerline mounted single

stage overhung pumps (designated pump type
OH2). They have a heavy duty bearing bracket
to accept all forces imposed upon the pump shaft
and maintain rotor position during operation.
The pumps are mounted to a API baseplate and metal to metal fit
direct coupled to the drivers.
The pump is of back-pull-out design. That means Fully jacketed volute casings are available as an
rotating pump unit (including bearing bracket, option. Pumps can be heated or cooled with
intermediate casing, shaft sealing and impeller) water, steam or oil. Maximum allowable heating
can be removed without disassembly of the temperature 330°C (620°F), maximum pressure

Running clearances meet the requirements of
paragraph 6.7 (clearances are used to limit inter-
nal leakage and to balance axial thrust).
Mating surfaces of the wear rings have

a difference in Brinell hardness of at least 50 HB.

Impeller
The standard pump impellers are closed, manu-

factured of single-piece castings with solid hubs.
The impellers are keyed to the shaft and secured
by a cap screw with Heli-Coil insert.
The impeller thrust loads are hydraulically

balanced by wear rings and balancing holes to
the suction side. Special care was taken when
designing the impeller eye to achieve low
NPSH-values.
The impellers are properly statically and

dynamically balanced according to paragraph
6.9.4 of the API 610, respectively ISO 1940-1,

To obtain satisfactory seal performance, the shaft DICKOW type NCVLR
stiffness limits the total deflection. This limit is
achieved by the combination of shaft diameter,
shaft span or overhang and casing design.
The shaft design guarantees that the first try
bending critical speed is at least 20% above the
pump’s maximum continuous operating speed.
Bearings
The pump shaft is supported by one radial roller

bearing at impeller side and two combined radial
thrust bearings at coupling side. Bearings are
mounted directly to the shaft by means of
shoulders. The thrust bearings are locked to the
shaft by a nut with a tongue-type lock washer.
Bearings are arranged for ringoil lubrication.
Oil mist lubrication is available as an option.
The bearings offer L10 rating life of more than

25000 hrs (three years) at continuous operation
under rated conditions.

overfilling of the housing. The bearing housing is
equipped with replaceable labyrinth seals with
internal deflector to prevent contamination by
moisture, dust and other foreign matters.
The design effectively retains oil in the housing.
Water jacket to cool the oil sump is available as
an option. A drain plug is provided at the bottom
and a vent plug at the top of the bearing housing.
Cast steel bearing housings are standard.
Vibration monitoring
The bearing housings are dimpled to facilitate

hand held vibration transducers.
Threaded connections for permanently mounted

transducers or flat surfaces for magnetic based
vibration measurement equipment is available on
request.
