The XRVIL is the self-priming version of the XVIL vertical inline centrifugal pump. Either an electric or air vacuum priming pump is fitted to the body to enable full self-priming capability. This variation has the full ability of the standard version; however, it can only be used for clean liquids such as sea water and fresh water containing no solid particles.
The XRVIL single stage vertical centrifugal pump is fitted with a spacer coupling for easy maintenance and can be used for a vast range of applications in the industrial and marine markets. Common applications include energy plants, mining, firefighting, irrigation, water supply, water treatment, pressurisation, grey water, dewatering, building systems, ballast transfer, sea water general service, scrubber systems, marine and cooling/heating conditioning (HVAC).
This self-priming centrifugal pump is required when it is not possible to supply the inlet with fluid via gravity. This range is ideal for installations where the pump sits above the supply tank requiring a suction lift or where the inlet conditions are difficult such as long pipe runs. Priming is achieved by the main pump and the priming system working in tandem. They operate simultaneously, the priming device works by removing all the air from the inlet pipework, this draws the fluid into the body of the main pump, thus priming. A pressure switch then shuts down the priming device once the adequate pressure is achieved to enable to main pump to operate independently.
