Product Description
DGP self-balancing multistage high-pressure boiler feed pump is designed to deliver clean water free of solid particles or other media with similar physicochemical properties at medium temperatures ranging from −20℃ to 150℃, applicable for low, medium and high-pressure boiler water supply service. Wetted component options for DGP pumps include HT200, QT600, 304, 304L, 316L, 317L, 904L and CD4,etc.
Overview
Developed as an advanced high-efficiency, energy-saving and long-service-life multistage centrifugal pump to satisfy customer requirements, the DGP self-balancing multistage boiler feed pump adopts internationally proven high-efficiency energy-saving hydraulic profiles. It abandons the conventional design with balance assemblies used on traditional multistage pumps and promotes technical advancement of high-pressure multistage pump products. Designed and manufactured in accordance with API610 specifications, the pump holds a leading technical position across the industry. It features a wide high-efficiency operating range, broad performance envelope, excellent anti-cavitation capability, stable and secure operation, low noise, fewer wearing parts as well as easy installation and maintenance.

Structure Description
The DGP self-balancing multistage boiler feed pump features innovative structural redesign by removing the conventional axial thrust balancing mechanism and balance disc assembly used on traditional multistage centrifugal pumps, making it an ideal upgraded replacement for D and DG series multistage centrifugal pumps.
Eliminating the balancing unit removes both disc friction loss from the balance disc and backflow loss of balancing medium. As a result, the pump’s hydraulic efficiency rises by 5% to 14% compared with equivalent conventional multistage pumps. The absence of balance disc friction cuts shaft power input and achieves remarkable energy conservation, reducing power consumption by roughly 3% versus similar pump models. In addition, this design fundamentally eliminates typical faults triggered by failed balancing devices, such as severe wear of balance disc/balance ring and rotor seizure. Service life is significantly extended; its mean trouble-free runtime exceeds three times that of standard pumps, greatly cutting users’ maintenance expenditure and overall life-cycle cost. Years of field operation verify its performance has reached the advanced standard of comparable international products.
Application
It is mainly used for conveying clean water free of solid particles or fluids with similar physicochemical properties at temperatures from −20℃ to 150℃, suited for low, medium and high-pressure water supply services.By altering pump material and structure, changing seal configuration or adding a cooling system, the pump can also handle hot water, oil products, corrosive media or abrasive-containing fluids up to 185℃.Available construction materials include HT200, QT600, ZG cast steel, 304, 304L, 316L, 317L, 904L and CD4 for customer selection.

1. High Efficiency & Energy Saving
Adopting self-developed advanced hydraulic profiles for high-efficiency and energy-saving performance. Free from balance disc abrasion and rotor axial pulsation, the impellers maintain optimum concentricity with diffusers. Unlike conventional multistage pumps whose efficiency declines noticeably due to balance disc wear and forward shift of rotor assemblies, this design eliminates balancing medium leakage to cut volumetric loss. Overall operational efficiency is lifted and shaft power consumption reduced, delivering an average efficiency gain of 2%~3% compared with standard multistage pumps.
2. Innovative Structure
The rotor assembly features symmetrically arranged impellers. Axial thrust generated by each paired impeller counteracts one another, automatically balancing large internal axial thrust within pump casing without balance discs and breaking through the structural limitations of conventional multistage pumps.
3. Unique Technical Design
Equipped with proprietary throttling and pressure-reducing devices plus odd-stage balancing structures which also serve as auxiliary rotor supports.
4. Superior Operational Reliability
Symmetric impeller layout achieves fundamental self-balancing of operational axial thrust, removing the high-failure-prone balance disc with narrow clearance, high pressure drop, erosion and abrasion risks. Adverse impacts of axial load on component wear and system disturbance are minimized. Remaining residual axial thrust is absorbed by thrust bearings to keep the pump shaft under consistent tension with even stress distribution and sharply reduced peak stress. This improves rotor rigidity and critical speed, greatly boosting running stability and reliability.
5. Excellent Anti-cavitation Performance & Extended Service Life
Optimized hydraulic and structural design, precision casting and premium wear-resistant materials are adopted. Certain variants employ double-suction first-stage impellers for outstanding cavitation resistance, enabling smooth low-noise operation and prolonged service life.
6. Improved Mechanical Seal Reliability
No axial endplay occurs on rotor parts during startup or shutdown, and no axial pulsation exists in normal operation, resolving the long-standing poor reliability issue of mechanical seals commonly seen on traditional multistage pumps.
7. Wide Application Scope
Without narrow-clearance balance disc assemblies, the pump is applicable for harsher service media than conventional multistage products.
8. Low Maintenance Cost
Precision casting reduces the number of wearing parts and overhaul disassembly frequency, extending service life, avoiding faults caused by frequent repeated disassembly and lowering overall maintenance expenses.
9. Easy Overhaul
The pump is developed via 3D design with CNC-machined rotors to guarantee strict dimensional tolerance and precision. Thanks to accurate positioning, ordinary technicians can complete assembly following general assembly drawings. It eliminates the need for specialized staff to adjust rotor axial float as required on old-type multistage pumps and brings great convenience to users.
