Godwin High-Head and Submersible Pumps
Also exhibited by Godwin was a new 12-in. (300-mm) Heidra hydraulic submersible pump. The HS300, capable of flow rates to 6,000 gpm (1,360 m3/h) and heads to 200 ft (61 m), is a self-contained, hydraulic powered submersible pump with a diesel-driven hydraulic power unit. It is a cast iron pump with cast chromium steel impeller designed for general pumping with solids handling up to 3- 3/4 in. (95 mm) in diameter, ideal for applications with more than 28 ft (8.5 m) of suction lift. Its integrated steel cage on the pumpend protects the pump while submersed, provides a lifting bail for easy transfer and provides an anchor spot for the hydraulic fittings. A double mechanical seal is immersed in isolated oil bath for unlimited dry running capability. A standard Godwin PrimeGuard controller provides programmable operations including setting maintenance timers. A safety shutdown system incorporated into engine controls prevents equipment damage from engine fault or failure, while the integral 200 gallon (757 l) fuel tank capacity provides more than 24 hours of continuous operation.
