The magnetic coupled pheriphal pump TPM/R, also refered to as turbine pump, belongs to the family of centrifugal pumps. Their structure and operating method is similar to that of a side channel pump.
The TPM/R is able to generate high discharge pressures, even at comparatively low flow rates. It is featured by low NPSH requirements, ideal for applications with limited suction head. Speed-regulated, the TPM/R can be optimally adjusted to the operating point. Peripheral pumps offer a high tolerance to gas percentages of the fluid, so that continuous operation is even possible in case of gas release or temporary air inlet. To prevent the impellers from seizing under difficult operating conditions, these Dickow pumps are equipped with SiC start-up rings on both sides. Metal contact between the rotating and stationary components is therefore excluded. The hermetically sealed design makes it particularly suitable for pumping toxic, explosive and generally environmentally harmful fluids.
