Submersible Pumps for Drainage, Sewage & Industrial Applications
Special attention to the type of ESP is required when using certain types of liquids
. ESP's commonly used on board naval vessels cannot be used to dewater contaminated flooded spaces. These use a 440-volt A/C motor that operates a small centrifugal pump. It can also be used out of the water, taking suction with a 2-1/2 inch non-collapsible hose. The pumped liquid is circulated around the motor for cooling purposes. There is a possibility that the gasoline will leak into the pump causing a fire or destroying the pump, so hot water and flammable liquids should be avoided.
