| Description: |
The Flowserve WDF is a vertical, single-stage pump specifically designed for safety-related shutdown services in nuclear power plants. Engineered to comply with ASME Section III, Class 2 and 3 standards, the WDF pump is optimized for critical applications such as residual heat removal (RHR), containment spray, and low-pressure safety injection systems. Introduced in the 1970s, the WDF pump has established an excellent record of reliability in RHR applications in nuclear power stations worldwide. Its design features a vertical, single-stage, diffuser-style configuration with a forged diffuser casing, ensuring structural integrity and efficient hydraulic performance. The pump incorporates a removable spacer coupling, facilitating seal and bearing maintenance without disturbing the motor or casing cover. Additionally, the separate bearing support above the seal chamber provides shaft support and reduces vibration input to the mechanical seal. |
