Superior Pump Design for Demanding ApplicationsThe KDT Monobloc pumpset leverages a two-stage centrifugal mechanism with a dynamically balanced closed impeller, delivering high efficiency and stable performance. Its double volute and end suction design minimize radial loads and facilitate reliable operation even in demanding scenarios.
Versatile Construction and Material OptionsAvailable in cast iron, cast steel, and stainless steel variants, this pumpset adapts to a variety of industrial, municipal, and firefighting uses. The monobloc structure ensures a compact footprint and ease of installation, while the gland packed or mechanical seal options offer flexibility in sealing arrangements.
Reliable Performance and CertificationEngineered to conform to IS: 9968 standards, KDT pumpsets are rigorously tested for durability and efficiency. With IP55 protection and F class insulation, the pumps offer optimal performance under a range of ambient and operational conditions, ensuring longevity and safety in use.
FAQs of Kirloskar Two Stage Monobloc Pumpset type KDT:
Q: How is the Kirloskar KDT Two Stage Monobloc Pump installed and commissioned?
A: The KDT pumpset is foot mounted and horizontally oriented for simple installation. Since the pump and motor are on a common shaft (monobloc), precise alignment is built-in, reducing setup time. Standard power supply of 415 V 10% and three-phase AC are required. A qualified technician should commission the pump according to IS: 9968 and manufacturers guidelines.
Q: What are the main applications for this pumpset?
A: This pumpset is suitable for a wide range of applications including water supply systems, firefighting, irrigation, HVAC circulation, and industrial processes. Its high head and flow rate capacity, plus robust construction, make it ideal for both urban and rural requirements.
Q: When should gland packed versus mechanical seal arrangements be chosen?
A: Gland packed sealing is generally selected for relatively clean water applications with routine maintenance access, offering lower initial cost. Mechanical seals are preferable for handling slightly dirty or corrosive fluids, or when zero leakage is critical, providing increased operational reliability with minimal maintenance.
Q: Where is the suction and discharge located on the KDT pumpset?
A: The pumpset features an end suction and top discharge configuration. The suction nozzle intake is at the pumps end, making pipe connection straightforward, while the discharge is conveniently located at the top, ideal for effective system integration.
Q: What process or operating conditions can the KDT handle safely?
A: KDT pumps are engineered to handle water or similar fluids at temperatures up to 65C, pressures up to 10 kg/cm, and heads up to 95 meters. The unit can operate continuously at 2900 RPM in accordance with operating instructions, thanks to its IP55 motor protection and F class insulation.
Q: How does the monobloc structure benefit the user?
A: The monobloc design eliminates coupling misalignment and reduces vibration, resulting in quieter, smoother operation and easy maintenance. The reduced number of mounting parts and simplified construction allow faster installation and enhance reliability, minimizing downtime.
