The centrifugal self-priming pumps type KVS are designed to handle clear and seawater, or other fluids with viscosity, specific gravity and chemical aggressiveness similar to water. The maximum temperature of handled fluids is 35°C.
      KVS pumps are intended for:
      - drying systems
      - ballast systems
      - cooling systems
      - fire fighting systems etc.
      KVS pumps are single-stage or double-stage centrifugal split-case end-suction . The shaft rests in one ball and in one sliding bearing which are fitted in the top and bottom sections of the pump.
      The pumps are coupled to the electric motor by means of a flexible claw coupling.
      The direction of rotation of the impeller is counter clockwise looking from the driving side.

      The indication of the pumps includes the following symbols:

28KVS55x2

28	-	rated flow (l/s)
KVS	-	ship vertical self-priming pump
55	-	rated head per stage
2	-	number of stages
