Abstract
The concrete volute pump is a well known and reliable way to ensure pumping of large amounts of water in a flow rate range from 4 to 40 m3/s with total head from 5 to 35 m and up to 55 m with special features.
In a first part the paper deals with a description of the concrete volute pump, integration in pumping station and with various motor/gearbox - pump set arrangement.
In a second part some new developments in progress are described: performance improvement, main components optimization and increasing of the whole pump set reliability.
