Carver Pump (Carver) in Muscatine, Iowa, has been one of the world’s leading centrifugal pump manufacturing companies since 1938, building pumps to the most demanding engineering specifications and military standards. Its product line includes horizontal and vertical end suction, multistage, axial split case, self-priming, API and solids-handling pumps, all made to provide lasting value from superior, straightforward designs. From an applications standpoint, Carver has traditionally built pumps for water, oil, and chemicals for both the public and private sectors.
The company, which is International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 certified, has stayed at the top of its industry by continually searching for and implementing the latest and best design, engineering and manufacturing technologies. Recently, Carver implemented a design technology breakthrough - three-dimensional (3D) Inverse Design methodology - by incorporating TURBOdesign1 software by Advanced Design Technology (ADT). TURBOdesign1 is a unique aerodynamic and hydrodynamic 3D design package for all types of turbomachinery blades such as pumps, compressors, fans, turbines and torque converters.
The 3D Inverse Design approach enables users to describe loading criteria then output a blade design based on those criteria, which is essentially the reverse of how most other computer-aided design software systems for turbomachinery work.
By using 3D Inverse Design methodology, Carver cut design times while increasing its pump product line efficiencies as well as its range of possible product offerings.
Carver wanted to make its products even more competitive by expanding its RS multistage ring section pump offerings with increased efficiencies. Carver’s RS series was designed for moderate to high pressure pumping and is available in five basic sizes with overall performance to 1,000 horsepower (HP). The RS series is now offered with American national Standards Institute (ANSI) 300 lb. inlet flanges and ANSI 600 or 900 lb. discharge flanges, depending on the pressures and number of stages involved. Either way, hydraulic performance extends to 1,400 gallons per minute (GPM) and 3,400 feet total dynamic head (TDH), which surpasses that of all comparable pump types and makes it ideally suited for the most demanding industrial and process services.
“Carver Pump used the ADT software to speed development of impeller, diffuser and return vane sets for expanding its family of RS multistage ring section pumps,” said Mark Post, Chief Operating Officer for Carver Pump. “Exceptional efficiency, good suction performance and stable off-design performance were required for this family of pumps.”
