Engineered to combine the best attributes of both technologies, the HW Mixed Flow Pump delivers superior performance characteristics:
The innovative design offers distinct advantages over traditional axial flow pump systems in applications requiring both substantial flow volumes and moderate pressure requirements.
During the 2023 monsoon season, a major Southeast Asian city deployed 24 large-scale axial flow pump units from our product line to move floodwaters at a combined flow rate exceeding 3 million gallons per hour. The installation successfully protected downtown areas from historical flooding levels.
In California's Central Valley, our mixed-flow systems achieve 30% energy savings compared to conventional axial designs while handling suspended solids in irrigation water without clogging or significant efficiency loss.
A petrochemical plant in Rotterdam replaced their existing axial flow pump array with our hybrid mixed-flow units, reducing maintenance downtime by 65% while achieving 92% operational efficiency even when processing heavily contaminated cooling water.
We utilize duplex stainless steel (SAF 2507), bronze alloys (C95800), and engineered polymers certified to ASTM A890 standards. For aggressive media applications, we offer optional ceramic-coated surfaces.
Minimum installation clearances follow ISO 5198 Section 4.3: Forebay approach channel minimum 5x inlet diameter, diffuser section 7x outlet diameter. Specific datasheets provide engineering details for pump models.
Net Positive Suction Head is calculated using ASME-PTC 8.2 standards: NPSHR = (Ps - Pvp)/ρg + (Vs²/2g) + Hl where Ps is suction pressure, Pvp is vapor pressure, and Hl represents system losses.
For marine environments, we recommend dual-mechanical seals with silicon carbide faces, freshwater flush systems (API Plan 32), and optional quench protection compliant with API 682 standards.
Our integrated monitoring systems comply with ISO 10816-7 vibration limits and ISO 13380 performance trending. Standard package includes MODBUS RTU outputs compatible with most industrial control systems.
Our proprietary anti-cavitation design includes NACA-modified hydrofoil profiles, controlled leading edge taper ratios (LER 1.8-2.2), and optional inlet guide vanes certified to reduce NPSHR by up to 35%.
All pumps meet ISO 9001:2015, CE/PED 2014/68/EU standards, with optional ATEX 2014/34/EU compliance. Hydraulic performance certified per HI 1.6-2021 standards with third-party verification reports.
Our engineering team provides technical consultation, computational fluid dynamics analysis, and customized performance modeling for projects requiring optimized axial flow pump and mixed flow pumping solutions.
