This close-coupled end suction pump utilizes a dry shaft design that eliminates contact between the circulating fluid and the shaft, mitigating the need for corrosion-resistant shaft materials. The construction comprises a cast iron casing and a bronze impeller, while the assembly incorporates a bronze shaft sleeve to facilitate maintenance. A ceramic seat half and EPT rubber components form the mechanical seal, which operates within a system pressure rating of 125 PSI and includes a wear ring. Flush seal line taps are provided on the suction and discharge connections to enable the integration of filtration for seal protection.
This pump utilizes a 15 HP Premium Efficiency TEFC motor operating at 1750 RPM with Aegis grounding, powered by a 380-460V / 3PH electrical supply and rated at a DOE PEI of 0.43. The 'S' in the SCI series denotes Taco's advanced Self-Sensing technology, which eliminates remote sensors and field wiring by using internal mathematical algorithms to calculate system resistance and automate variable flow. The included VFD is configured with a fused disconnect without bypass and holds an enclosure NEMA 12 / IP 55 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
