This base-mounted end suction pump comprises a cast iron casing with center-line discharge and a bronze impeller. The design integrates a stainless steel shaft covered by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve, facilitating maintenance. This construction incorporates a dry shaft design that prevents contact between the circulating fluid and the shaft. The mechanical seal utilizes a ceramic seat with EPT rubber, providing a pressure rating of 125 PSI. This pump incorporates flush seal line taps and pressure tappings on the suction and discharge connections to facilitate system monitoring.
The pump utilizes a 5 HP premium efficiency ODP motor operating at 1750 RPM with Aegis grounding, configured for 380-460V and 3PH power, providing a DOE PEI of 0.44. 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 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
