Degassing and self-priming units

AHLSTAR pumps can be fitted with self-

priming or degassing units, to enable the
pump to be started with an empty inlet
pipe and to allow it to pump liquids with
high gas content.

AHLSTAR degassing and self-priming

units, the LM or S liquid ring pump and
the GM, GS or R gas separator units,
stabilize the pumping of liquids containing
up to 40% weakly bonded gases or up
to 70% strongly bonded gases using
centrifugal pumps.

Accumulated gas
in the impeller

Conventional centrifugal pumps,

regardless of impeller type, can operate
with a gas content of up to 4%. However,
once the gas content exceeds 4%,
bubbles start to accumulate in the
impeller eye and impair operations. This Head
reduces capacity and pumping becomes
extremely unstable.

Positive inlet head

AHLSTAR pump with LM or S integrated liquid ring pump degassing unit
• For reliable pumping of gases containing liquids in unstable inlet head
applications
• Single or double mechanical seal with recirculation flushing for clean
liquids or with external flushing for fibrous and non-fibrous slurries and
liquids containing large solids
• When the inlet head is stable, GS, GM and R gas separator degassing
units provide reliability and efficiency

Low or negative inlet head

AHLSTAR pump with LM or S integrated liquid ring pump
• Most reliable system for pumping gases containing liquids in low or
negative inlet head applications
• Single or double mechanical seal with external flushing for clean liquids,
fibrous and non-fibrous slurries and liquids containing large solids
• Double mechanical seal with recirculation flushing for clean liquids
• GM, GS or R gas separator degassing units without external vacuum
pump cannot be used due to low or negative inlet head

Replacing the barometric leg

AHLSTAR pump with a GM or R gas separator unit
• Simplifies expensive classic barometric leg pumping systems and
ensures consistent and reliable operation
• Deep wells, high buildings and long pipes with vertical or submersible
pumps and liquid level control systems can be avoided, thereby
minimizing initial costs
• Single mechanical seal with recirculation flushing for clean liquids or with
external flushing for slurries
• Double mechanical seal for slurries

Self-priming pump applications

AHLSTAR pump with the LM or S integrated liquid ring pump degassing
unit
• Ensures fast, reliable pump start-up and constant operation when
starting with an empty inlet pipe
• Single mechanical seal with recirculation flushing for clean liquids,
requires gooseneck inlet pipe
• Single mechanical seal with external flushing for slurries and liquids
containing large solids

Shaft seals

Shat seal need to be selected carefully according

to pumped liquid and operational conditions. With
optimal seal selection you can maximize the lifetime
of the seal and ensure reliable operation.

We have developed innovative Sulzer mechanical

shaft seals for maximizing operational reliability
and minimizing downtime costs. As Sulzer shaft
seals require little or no water, they minimize also
environmental costs.

Patented impeller balancing holes together with

optimized impeller back vanes improve liquid
circulation and create ideal conditions in the seal
chamber.

Sealing water equipment

Sealing water equipment regulates the volume and pressure of external sealing water for optimum pump
performance. The equipment is attached directly to the supply connection using a hose or pipe/tube.

Heavy-duty bearing units

Sulzer’s AHLSTAR bearing units are reliable and heavy-duty, resulting in minimized maintenance costs.

• Optimized construction, making assembly fast and simple

• Heavy-duty shaft minimizes deflection at stuffing box < 0.05 mm / 0.002 in,
thereby extending the life cycle of the shaft seal
• Oil bath or oil splash lubrication for applications up to 180°C / 355°F and
grease lubrication up to 120°C / 250°F
• The strong, over-sized bearing design far exceeds the ISO 5199 standard life cycle of 17’500 hours
• A sturdy support foot provides a solid base and prevents coupling alignment changes

Oil bath lubrication Oil splash lubrication Grease lubrication

Innovative bearing isolators

Sulzer’s innovative, non-
contacting bearing isolators
at the both ends of the
bearing house consist of three
elements: a deflector, a lip
seal and a labyrinth. This triple
bearing protection prevents
lubricant leaks from the bearing
house and keeps contaminants
out. No contact between the lip
seal and shaft when the pump
is rotating also means no wear,
which extends the lifecycle of
the unit.
