With its Omega 2, KSB SE & Co. KGaA is launching a new generation of its Omega water pump on the market. The axially split volute casing pumps are designed for handling water as well as fluids with a low solids content. They are used in waterworks, district heating and cooling systems, desalination plants and industrial applications, for example.
The pumps’ energy efficiency and design have been further enhanced by some structural modifications. The optimised hydraulic system has increased the efficiencies and therefore lowered the energy input of the type series. The new generation offers a high operating reliability. Double-entry impellers and double-volute casings balance out axial and radial forces and contribute to a long service life. A self-centring rotor and self-positioning mechanical seal make this type series particularly service-friendly. Key components can be replaced without the need to remove the motor or separate the pump from the piping.
The Omega 2 type series is optimised for operation at increased speeds and meets demanding requirements regarding NPSH behaviour, bearing life and noise emissions. Material variants in nodular cast iron, stainless steel and duplex material are available.
