Grundfos CBS Inc. is fully committed to advancing pump technology and providing its customers
with the most efficient pumps in the market.
The PACO line of end suction, single stage pumps
serves as the industry standard in performance,
quality, and durability. With an expanded selection of 32 sizes available, the PACO line of pumps
are the smart choice for a number of reasons:
> Low life-cycle costs
> High efficiency for reduced operation costs
> Compensated double-volute design for reduced
radial loads, minimized shaft deflection, and
prolonged seal life and bearing life
> Mechanical design for reduced maintenance
and minimal downtime
> Back pull out design for ease of maintenance
and servicing
> Range of sizes to meet precise application
requirements
> Quiet operation
Advanced features incorporated as standard on
PACO end suction pumps ensure optimum performance and reliability. These features, as well as
optional features that meet specialized needs, are
available on the broadest line of high-efficiency
pumps offered to the industry.
An innovative pump and impeller design produces a
higher operating efficiency – up to 91 percent – and
provides a wider band of best operating efficiency,
even during conditions of off-design operation.
Quite simply, the PACO line of pumps is the smart
choice for lower initial cost, longer pump life, reduced operating and maintenance costs, maximum
reliability, and quieter operation.

2 | Overview

LF/LC/LCV
Double Volute Design with
Superior Advantages
The PACO LF and LC pumps utilize a double volute
design that offers a distinct advantage over single
volute designs. The double volute design incorporates two cutwaters located at 180°, which divide
the flow into two geometrically similar regions of
the volute.
The resultant hydraulic forces within the pumps
are equal and opposed. As a result, the net radial
force is maintained at a very low level throughout
the operating range of the pump, and shaft deflection is kept to a minimum.
A typical single volute pump is normally designed
to operate at or near the best efficiency point (BEP).
In actual application, many pumps stray away
from BEP due to load variances and/or changes in
the system head curve.

Cut-Water

As single volute pumps begin to operate away
from BEP, the resultant radial load increases dramatically, causing increased shaft loads, deflection, and vibration. Excessive radial loads can
cause premature failure of the mechanical seal,
bearings, and shaft.
A double volute design ensures that hydraulic radial
loads are equal and opposed and thereby nullified.
Pump operation remains stable throughout the entire performance curve, with minimal shaft deflection, prolonging seal, bearing, and shaft life.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
PACO LF FRAME MOUNTED END SUCTION PUMP
Footed Bearing Frame

> Enhances ease of maintenance and provides proper support of rotating equipment during servicing

Footless Volute

> Establishes single point support for reducing alignment restrictions, which extend seal and bearing life
> Permits discharge orientation flexibility
> Minimizes the effects (misalignment, flange strain) of thermal expansion on volute

Permanently Sealed for Life Bearings

> Reduce environmental contaminants and pump maintenance

Machined Mounting Surfaces and
Fabricated Base Plate

> Aid in alignment

Choice of Motor Enclosures

> Increases flexibility of design

Back Pull-Out Design

> Enables maintenance without disturbing piping

Double Volute Design

> Reduces radial loads, internal recirculation, and turbulence, which increases efficiency, lowers life cycle
costs, and prolongs seal and bearing life

Large Seal Chamber

> Allows for various seal configurations and customization

Integrally Cast Diffuser Vane

> Reduces turbulence and pre-rotation by providing laminar flow into oversized impeller eye, resulting in
decreased need for extended horizontal suction pipe runs, elbows, or suction guides

Francis Vane Impeller Design

> Increases efficiency and reduces NPSHr

Bronze Case Wear Rings

> Extend pump life and increase pump efficiency (included as standard)
> Provide simple and inexpensive renewal of “like new” operating tolerances, even after years of operation

Impellers

> Trimmed to exact customer specifications for customization
> Static and dynamically balanced to ISO 1940-G3 for reduced noise and vibration
> Hydraulically balanced to decrease thrust loads and prolong seal and bearing life

PACO LC/LCV CLOSE COUPLED END SUCTION PUMPS
