What can you expect from the Booklet
“Submersible Borehole Pumps”?
The information provided can help you make a
-- quick
-- first rough selection
-- on your own
to find a suitable KSB submersible borehole pump for your
application. We have kept the volume of the catalogue down to
what we think is the absolute minimum. For the 4 to 14 inch
range, you will find the following information on the pump
selected:
-- pump series, size and number of stages,
-- motor series, size, power, amperage and allowable
temperature,
-- starting method, supply voltage and type of installation,
-- material variants and
-- major dimensions and weights.
You may also complete, to the extent possible, the request for
quotation on page 9.
You will then receive as soon as possible a detailed quotation
and, if required, additional literature on KSB submersible
borehole pumps from the nearest KSB sales branch.

General
Information on fields of application, available models, type of
installation, direction of rotation, coating, connection to power
supply and speed control is provided in the detailed sections for
the relevant type series.
Pump Efficiency
The characteristic curves for UPA 200/200B and larger pumps
show pump efficiency for the maximum and optimum (reduced)
impeller diameter (for ex. ”c”). The efficiency of pumps with a
low number of stages or considerably reduced impeller
diameter (for ex. ”d”, “e”) is lower than the value shown; it is
given in the individual characteristic curves specifically
prepared for the quotation.
Dry Running Protection
For use in wells with marked water level fluctuations or
temporary low yield we strongly recommend installing dry
running protection equipment (”Accessories”).
Application Temperatures
The submersible borehole pumps are, as a standard, suitable for
use in water with temperatures of up to t = +30 oC. An
indispensable requirement for this is a flow velocity of v = 0.2 m/s
past the motor. This requirement is met, for example, when the
pump is installed in a deep well above the well screen / filter, etc.
With certain restrictions, some motor sizes may also be used
in water with temperatures of up to t = +50 oC and for operation
without an adequate cooling flow of water past the motor, i.e.
v = 0 m/s (for example, when the unit is installed in a deep well
below the screen / filter area or in a pump sump, etc.).
The details below provide data of adequate accuracy for the
allowable temperature as a function of the type of installation,
motor size and flow velocity v past the motor:
Vertical installation:

Horizontal installation:
The principle is the same as for vertical installation.
Exception: Pumps with UMA 250D motors.
These units must always be equipped with a flow inducer
sleeve. The flow inducer sleeve is not required, if the given
pump is equipped with a motor having a 10 % higher power
rating.
For all pump sets:
For a flow velocity of v ≥0.5 m/s and horizontal installation,
check back with the manufacturer.
