Hydra-Cell Q330 Series Quintuplex Pumps
The Model Q330 Hydra-Cell Pump provides reliable high-pressure performance with a maximum capacity of 118 GPM (446 l/min) and discharge pressures up to 4500 PSI (310 bar). Its sealless design ensures it handles difficult fluids where traditional plunger pumps fail.
Closed or restricted inlet condition? Not a problem for Q330 Hydra-Cell® Pro pumps because their patented design is not dependent upon the fluid being pumped for internal lubrication or cooling. Reciprocating plunger pumps are inherently less reliable because their expensive seals are quickly damaged by poor inlet conditions and abrasive fluids. Whereas a reciprocating plunger pump requires special designs to handle packing gland lubrication and dual mechanical seals to reduce fugitive emissions, nothing of the sort is required for Q330 Hydra-Cell® Pro pumps because there are no seals!
The pump heads of Q330 Hydra-Cell® Pro pumps are manufactured from cast nickel aluminum bronze and are available with either Buna-N or FKM elastomers. The check valves are available in 316SS and other alloys such as Hastelloy C. The power end materials are cast from ductile iron. These pumps will handle 800 micron (0.03") solids and have a 6" 300# RF ANSI flanged inlet port. Its outlet port has a 3" 2500# RTJ ANSI flange and the shaft rotation is unidirectional.
Key Performance Features
- Sealless Design: No mechanical seals to leak or replace.
- Fluid Versatility: Handles abrasives, corrosives, and non-lubricating fluids.
- Dry-Run Capable: Can run dry without damage to the pump.
- Low Maintenance: Significant reduction in downtime compared to sealed pumps.
- Energy Efficient: High volumetric efficiency reduces power costs.
Applications
The Q330 is engineered for the most demanding industrial environments, including:
- Oil and Gas: Produced water disposal and well injection.
- Processing: Seawater desalination and boiler feed.
- Industrial: High-pressure descaling in steel mills and pipeline pigging.
- Chemical: Glycol circulation and abrasive slurry transfer.
