Features
- Designed for high flow applications, reducing the number of pumps needed and significantly minimizing overall civil dimensions
- Predominantly produced in concrete, eliminating potential corrosion problems
- Constructed as an integral part of the pump-house, ensuring consistent civil and mechanical interfaces
- Almost 100% availability post-installation due to slower running speed, minimal wear and exceptional reliability, eliminating the need for stand-by units
- Minimum of 10 years between internal inspections, which can be performed within the volute without removing the pump cartridge
- Proper design enhances the performance of turbine condensers, impacting the overall operational efficiency of nuclear power plants
