Pumps and Pumping Information
A New Oil Transfer Pump You Can Trust for Industrial & Marine Applications

The Daisy oil pump is poised to apply time tested seal-less pump technology to oil transfer in a
wide range of applications. The design draws from a long history of pump successes from
Micropump to Transportation Research Corp.
Now VARNA Products introduces the Daisy Pump with the same sealless technology that has
proven itself for decades in applications from as small as a trickle of coffee to as large as a
locomotive.

The Daisy pump is designed for reliability measured in decades without any maintenance
or need for overhaul
.


Features:
• Complete assembly of motor and pump that won’t leak - Completely sealed for
washdown and wet environments.

• Continuous duty
• Preloaded rolling contact bearings
• Internally cooled and cannot overheat, when there is some external flow
• Reversible – Switch any two lead wires
• Performs equally well turning in either direction
• Can deliver oil of almost any viscosity


Applications:
• Draining and filling engine sumps and reservoirs
• Prelubing diesel engines for long life between costly overhauls
• Transferring oil – back and forth and at different elevations
• Finishing and polishing of stored diesel fuel and other oil
• Ink jet carpet printing
• Filling and bottling plants and production lines
• Silent oil cooling of X-ray equipment in hospitals
• Pumping hydraulic oil through heat exchangers for cooling
• Pumping through filters for cleaning


The Daisy Pump Performs!
• You can trust it to be there whenever you turn it on.
• You can trust it to run as long as you leave it on. – for years if desired.
• You can trust it do this without any need for maintenance or spare parts.
• You can throttle the flow down from 9 gpm to zero routinely with no trouble.

• It can never leak.
• It is submersible. – wash-down or flooded.
• It is self-priming and runs in either direction.
• It runs quietly, and is prewired for 208/230V, 3-phase AC power.

Use it aboard yachts and work boats for:

• Fuel management and fuel polishing.
• Engine oil pan draining and refilling.
• Prelubing and postlubing large diesel engines.
• Any other oil management process required on board or elsewhere.

The Daisy oil pump integrates the motor and the pump into one unit that is completely sealed
including the oil connections, which are standard SAE Straight Thread O-ring sealed ports. Oil
bleeds slowly into the sealed motor for positive cooling of the motor and returns through a
system of check valves to the suction side of the pump, whichever way the pump is turning. Fuel
pumps of this nature have been in service for years in diesel-electric locomotives. The Daisy’s
pressure relief bypass is inherent in the design of the unit and involves no extra parts. The
bearing preload spring responds to pump pressure and when the pressure force exceeds the
bearing preload force, the pump rotor is allowed to move axially. This opens up the end seal of
the pump and bypasses the flow.


The Daisy’s unitary design is cost-effective. It also eliminates all the parts and labor required for
assembling the standard adapter and shaft coupling required for connecting an off-the-shelf
motor to an off-the-shelf pump. Varna’s CNC manufacturing technology further assures that all
pumps manufactured are exactly alike as to quality.


The Daisy will be produced in two models. Although both models are reversible, one will
include a reversing switch and one will not. For applications that do not require reversing or that
require special controls for other reasons, the lower cost Daisy-I without the built-in reversing
switch will be more economical. Otherwise the Daisy-II provides a rotary switch that is
designed for confidence and control. Both models are pre-wired and include a 6 ft cord and plug
for connection to 3-phase 208/230VAC power.


The Daisy Oil Pump will be offered for sale at a promotional price of $849.00 with no
reversing switch
, saving $556.00 off the list price. The promotional price with a reversing
switch is $994.00
, saving $662.00 off of list price.

Flowserve Wins 8 Million Dollard Project

Flowserve wins a nearly 8 million project re-injecting water in Oil recovery for the Saint Joseph Field, in the South China Sea. Flowserve will use barrel pumps for the project that is a co-venture between Petronas, Malaysia National Oil Company, and Shell. The purchase order for nearly 8 million dollards was booked by Enserv Sendirian Berhad, a Petronas subsidiary. These barrel pumps will be used to inject sea water into the field in order to increase oil extraction.

New Orleans Levee Pumps

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers selected Fairbanks Morse pumps, a division of PENTAIR, as the supplier for the New Orleans Levee Pumps. The award is for 65 million dollards, and will include the installation of 13 new pumps. These pumps are going to be Centrifugal axial pumps, and will be considered the largest pump station in the world. They are rated at 682.000 GPM, and driven by diesel engines with 5500 HP.

The project is meant to handle all flows of 22 miles of Levee, and storm surge in order to provide protection in the case of Hurricanes, or any other major disaster. Fairbanks Morse Pumps is located in Kansas City, Kansas, and has been manufacturing pumps for over 100 years in their 400,000 square foot facility.

Selecting the Right Irrigation Pumps

The main unit on an irrigation system is the pump. There are three main implications when selecting the correct irrigation system. These implications are what will determine all factors from cost to size. These implications are the source of the water, the piping, and their components. From all different pump types, the main pumps used in irrigation systems are centrifugal pumps specifically the following sub-types:

  • Horizontal Single Stage
  • Propeller
  • Deep Well
  • Submersible

What determines what kind of pump is used in the irrigation system is the water source. It will be surface water (like rivers, lakes, Rain collection tanks, and ponds), underground water, or a mixture of both. The size of the pump will be determined primarily by the amount of required flow, and the total dynamic head of the system (TDH). To determined the Total Dynamic head, you will need to add in Length measure (Feet, meters, etc) from the water level to the highest point the water will have to be raised for the irrigation plus the total pressure requirement for the sprinkler head to work plus the friction loss. In order to change head pressure from the sprinkler head to feet, you will ne to multiply the total psi requirement times 2.31. The Friction losses can be determined from Friction loss tables. In cases where the pump is above the water level, you will also have a suction lift. The suction lift is limited to the pump NPSH or net positive suction head. The manufacturer of the pump will be able to provide with the NPSH of the pump since it is caracteristical of each pump.

Pump Drivers

There are many different types of drivers in irrigation systems. It also depends on the current availability where the system will be located. Pumps in irrigation systems can be driven by electric motors, solar panels, engines, or turbines. In order to determine the power necessary for the water to move along the pump (Water Horse Power or WHP) is calculated by multiplying the flow requirements (Q) times the total dynamic head or TDH, and dividing it by 3960. Please keep in mind that the WHP will be in optimus condition; therefore the actual power for the pump will be higher than this value. To calculate the actual value need or brake horse power (BHP) you will need to dived the WHP by the multiplication of the pump efficiency times the driver efficiency.  Please notes that both efficiencies (The Pump and the driver) can be obtained from the manufacturers.
