    Red Jacket submersible LPG pumps. For all types of Red Jacket submersible LPG pumps, the minimum differential pressure can never be allowed to go below 400 kPa (58 psi). This minimum required differential pressure of 400 kPa (58 psi) is to guarantee that during operation all respectively 17, 21or 24 stages are submerged in the LPG liquid.

  • Page 17: By-Pass

    Rego A3186 By-Pass All Red Jacket submersible LPG pumps are required to be coupled to a motor containing an internal bleed (by- pass). The Premier pump developed maximum pressure is 1000 kPa (145 psi) differential pressure. The Premier Mid- Flow pump developed maximum pressure is 880 kPa (127 psi) differential pressure. The Premier Hi-Flow pump developed maximum pressure is 1220 kPa (180 psi) differential pressure.

    (127 psi) for Premier MidFlow pump and 1220 kPa (180 psi) for Premier HiFlow pump. For all types of Red Jacket submersible LPG pumps the minimum differential pressure can never be below 400 kPa (58 psi). This minimum required differential pressure is to guarantee that during operation all respectively 17, 21 or 24 stages are submerged in the LPG liquid.

    265:1. Due to the liquid vaporizing, sections of the LPG pump staging wear and will be damaged. The motor of the pump needs to be cooled. Red Jacket does this by using the LPG. When operating, the LPG runs through and around the motor to cool it. In addition, LPG is used to lubricate the bearings. The first impeller of the pump needs to be submersed, so that the LPG can cool the motor.

    52°C. 8. Red Jacket submersible LPG pumps are not designed to handle abrasive or foreign particles in the product being pumped other than small parts of LPG dust or iron oxide, which can normally be found in LPG. Do not use a pump inlet filter without written approval from Veeder-Root prior to its use.
