Code

Associate Irrigation Engineer

Dear r. Code:

W

e are very sorry we neglected to give you complete information

covering the pump on which we quoted in our letter of

M

ay

11.

In this connection we are :pleased to advise that a 5" Figure

3601 pump, operating at 1005 revolutions per minute against a

25' head and delivering 450 gallons per minute, will require

4.2 horse power or a pump efficiency of approximately 66%.

The

same pump operating at 925 revolutions per minute against a 20'

head and delivering 350 gallons per minute, will require 3.15

horse power or a pump efficiency of 56

%

.

The distance between

the center line of the pump and center line of motor when

opera-ting with 5.2" P.D. motor sheave will be 18!". The center

dis-tance when oper ting with 5.8 P.D. motor sheave will be lSi"·

You will note that tne change in center distance due to the

change in sheave aiameter is only one-half inch.

This can be

readily taken care of in the sliding base of the motor as the

maximum allowable travel of the motor on the sliding base is 4''.

In regard to your use of a safety switch equipped with fusetrons,

we wish to adYise that the price would be the same as the

WK

-16

starter.

W

e would recommend use of the starter as it is a much

more compact unit and no fuse replacements are necessary, the

overload protection being taken care of by bi-metallic strips.

In regard to the one pulley pump installation to handle 400

gal-lons per minute against

a

total head of 20', we are pleased to

quote on the following:

Mr.

Associate Irrigation Engineer,

Fort Collins, Colorado.

Dear

Sir;-e havSir;-e yotir lSir;-ettSir;-er of May 25th in rSir;-egard to

4"

pump

for the Fort Lewis

Jchool,

and regret to note that you will not

be able to

.

use either our

Type

"SsU"

or Type

"S

pump.

In regard to price, our Type

"S"

prices

on these small

pumps are especially favorable and we

·

wonder if you can get a

cheaper pump which will do the work, which would require using a

5

HP

motor.

In

regard to the

nssu

unit, the greater pai't

of the

price

is in

the motor.

In case you decide to purchase a cheaper pump we would

at least like to offer

the

motor and the Texrope Drive.

If you

will let us have the maximum

aDd

minimum

RPM

of the pump, we sh

a

ll

be pleased to quote

you

on the

motor

and texrope drive, and we will

also be pleased to request our factory to quote us on

sheaves

of

variable pitch d

i

ameter to cover the two conditions.

Hoping to hear from

you,

we are,

Very

truly yours,

Gentlemen:

gqotatiQn

#54-22_

.

Referring to your letter

o~

April 30 and subsequent letter of

May 13 regarding quotation on pumping plant for Fort Lewis School

near Hesperus, Colorado.

We are sorry that we did not get this

~nformation

to you sooner, but we have been endeavoring to work

out what would be the best arrangement and the most ideal set up

for this particular condition.

After

considering your problem carefully from all angles,

i t

appears

t

o

us that a unit belt driven

by

a

5

HP

motor designed for 400

GPM

against a

23'

head and arranged to operate at a single speed will

be the most suitable. For the lower capacity you could throttle

this unit and as the power involved is small, the loss would be very

small. For these conditions, we offer the following unit:

One

{1) WORTHINGTON 4-F-1

Volute

·

Centrifugal Pump arranged for belt

drive as described in specifications sheet attached.

Unit

to be fitted complete with suction elbow

and provided

with

-Belt drive for operating it at 1150

RPM when

driven by

1750 RP.

-

motor.

One

(1)

5

HP,

1750

RPM,

3

phase,

60

cycle,

440

volt motor complete

with base.

Shipping weight of complete unit approximately •••••• 600#

Price your lowest

net •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• $350.

with

full freight

allov~red

to Hesperus, Colorado.

If it were desired, this pump could be designed to operate at

450

GPM

against

25' TDH

and then when it was desirable to operate

at

350

GPM

at

20

1

_{Total head,}

_the

_{speed could be changed to 900 RPM}

by changing the sheaves on the pump or motor or both, the same

belts being satisfactory for operation. Such a drive as this,

that is, the sheaves for making the change would cost approximately

$15.00

additional.

-2-We would not recommend that both the large and small sheave be

mounted on the same shaft as it gives too much overhang for

satisfactory operation. If, however, it is found desirable

to

change the

speed there

would

be no reason for not purchasing the

pump with the extra sheave for making such change.

We have not quoted on starting equipment for this motor as we

are not certain of the type required.

Neither have

we

quoted on suction pipe in foot valve as we do not

manufacture such equipment and, consequently, the School will be

able to purchase at the same price as we would and in order to get

the lowest price proposition

i t

would be better for you to obtain

this price from some local manufacturer.

We trust that this will give you the information that you desire

in regard to this matter and that we may be of service to you in

supplying this unit.

Very

truly yours,

pumps, with non-clogging

impellers of special design, rugged casings, large diameter

shafts, comparatively low velocities, have been perfected to

give continuous, uninterrupted operation, even under the

most severe service.

They are designed for pumping unscreened sewage,

sludge, slaughterhouse refuse, and other liquids containing

solid matter in suspension.

Worthington offers these perfected pumps in a number of

pattern sizes covering capacities from 85 to 7,500 gallons per

minute, each size selected to give the maximum performance

for the power involved.

CAPACITY

Graphical solution of a sewage pumping problem

The above curve shows graphically the application of a

number of pumps to a system with variable present

require-ments and a future requirement. Pump A is selected for the

minimum capacity condition and pump B for the normal

con-dition, the two being used in parallel for the maximum

condi-tion. For the future conditions two additional pumps are

installed, one a duplicate of A and the other a duplicate of B.

Paralleling these gives a total of eight capacities possible with

constant-speed motors and without throttling. Inasmuch as

the pumps are always selected to work near their best efficiency

point and to load up their driving motor, this method of

operation involves the minimum power loss and shows great

economy.

Dear

Sir;-RE:

TYPE

"S

PUMPS

vve

have your letter

of

April

22nd

addressed

for

attention of

Mr.

S:Lngleton in regard to an

"SSU"

pumping

unit for a capacity of

400

gallons

per

minute ag

a

inst

18

ft. head with

3

HP

motor

for

Fort

Lewis, near Durango.

Mr

.

Singleton

is out of town, and we und

e

rstood

that

he

plan

~1

ed

to call on

you

at

Fort Collins

yesterday,

in which case he will have gone into this matter with you.

However, in case he has not, we can probably

furnish

y

ou with

a

pump of the r

eq

uired cap

a

city and head

in our

4

x

3

Type

"SSU-N"

pump at 1750

RPM.

This pump

would throw ab

o

ut

440

gallons per minute ag

a

inst

18

ft

head

but would require a

5

HP

motor

.

This

point is just beyond

the en

d

of the characteristic curve, and it may be that

the capacit

y

would

not be

quite

so high.

This horsepower is

greater

than

you

desir

e

to use, and it

may

be

that

we

can

offer

a pump o

f

th

i

s size with

3

IW

with 1160

RPM

motor,

which would be better adapted to

your

conditions,

a

nd

we

are

taking the matter

up

with

our

factory

in order to see

what

we

can offer.

In regard to co

nne

ction of this pump to

your

horizontal

discharge main pipe to the pump shaft, we would prer

er

the

secon

d

alternative with the discharge nozzle horizontal

and on the bottom od It would

be

neces

s
