LKH pumps

 

How the LKH Pump Works

 

  • Operating Principle:
    • The impeller transfers rotational energy to the fluid, increasing kinetic energy, velocity, and pressure.
    • Centrifugal force directs the fluid towards the pump outlet.
  • External Shaft Seal:
    • Front-loading design for easy maintenance.
    • Balanced design minimizes the risk of seal opening during pressure shock.
  • Optimized Shaft Seal:
    • One shaft seal fits a wide pump range, reducing inventory.
    • Easy interchange with optional flushed or double seals.
