Submersible High Head Drainage Pumps

Tsurumi LH/LH-W series pumps are submersible heavy-duty pumps specialized for high head. These pumps
are available in a wide lineup, offering 4 to 150HP motor output and 59 to 755ft. maximum head. The
LH/LH-W series has played an active role in various fields, from small/medium-scale civil engineering and
construction work that requires high reliability, to large-scale projects for constructing tunnels, bridges and
dams. And, because of the slim body, these pumps have particularly helped to drain mine pits where required
to work in limited space.

So that they can stand up to harsh environment, these pumps have the impeller and mouth ring made of
high-chromium cast iron that provides high wear resistance. The pump is equipped with seal pressure relief
ports* that release pump pressure applied to the mechanical seal. Furthermore, to endure even extended
operation at low water level, these pumps feature flow-thru design that forcibly cools down the motor. With
these features, Tsurumi pumps provide excellent reliability and durability that enables continuous duty for
long periods of time.
* excluding 4HP

Available as optional specifications are a proprietary “seawater-resistant pump” developed over many years
by Tsurumi to enable seawater intake/drainage for long periods of time, and an “all stainless steel pump”
using 316 stainless steel for mining markets.

1 Anti-wicking Cable Entry

Prevents water incursion due to capillary wicking should the power cable be damaged or the end submerged.
2 Motor Protector
CTP (30HP and below)
Detects excess heat, therefore, protecting the pump against overheating and dry-running.
MTP (40HP and above)
React to excessive heat caused by dry-running. The bimetal strip opens to cause the control panel to shut the power supply.

3 Dual Inside Mechanical Seals with Silicon Carbide Faces

Isolated in the oil chamber where a clean, non-corrosive and abrasion-free lubricating environment is maintained. Compared
with the water-cooled outside mechanical seal, it reduces the risk of failure caused by dry-heating and adhering matter. The
Silicon carbide provides 5 times higher corrosion, wear and heat resistance than the tungsten carbide.
4 Oil Lifter [Patented]
Provides lubrication and cooling of the seal faces down to 1/3 of normal oil level, thus maintaining a stable shaft sealing effect
and prolonging seal life longer.

Seawater-Resistant Kit
Tsurumi’s pumps can be combined with a seawater-resistant kit (optional) that adds a “galvanic anode” and
“seawater-resistant special cast iron impeller,” and enables about two years of service.
(The service period depends on operating conditions.)

All Stainless Steel Pump

All of the parts of Tsurumi’s pumps that contact fluid, including the
impeller, pump casing, motor frame, outer cover, strainer stand, and
flange, can be made in 316 stainless steel. Tsurumi’s all stainless
steel pump can handle corrosive fluids generated in mines or
quarries, and fluids of unexpectedly high pH. For details, contact
your dealer.

5 Leakage Sensor (75HP and above)

Detects flooding into the oil chamber that may occur in a worst case scenario. When flooding is detected, signals are sent
to operate the indicator lamps through the external control panel.
6 Seal Pressure Relief Ports (excluding 4HP)
Protect the mechanical seal from pump pressure. They also protect the seal face by discharging wear particles.
7 High-chromium Cast Iron Closed Impeller & Mouth Rings
Resists wear caused by abrasive particles and enables the pump to maintain its original performance for an extended period
of time.
LH: Single impeller LH-W: Dual impellers
8 Galvanic Anodes (excluding 4HP)
Protect the pump against corrosive potential generated during the drainage of wastewater.

 LH -Single Impeller-
The LH-series is a submersible three-phase cast iron high head drainage pump. Being the pump cylindrical
and slim, it can be installed in a well casing for deep well dewatering. The center flange construction assures
a stable installation even if it is fixed by the discharge pipe. The top discharge, flow-thru design provides
maximum motor cooling efficiency allowing continuous operation at low water levels and extended dry-run
capability. The pump incorporates seal pressure relief ports that prevent the pumping pressure from applying
to the shaft seal.*

“Tandem operation” is an operation method that connects
two pumps of the same model in series. This provides double
pump head at the same flow rate in comparison with that of a
single pump. The principle of tandem operation is the same as that
with multistage pumps.

Lifting Chain
or Wire Rope Precautions for Selection and Use
For model selection, piping and installation procedure, be sure to
consult Tsurumi distributors in advance.

1. If the required total head exceeds the maximum head of the pump
without the intermediate connection pipe shown in the selection table,
Discharge Head of insert a intermediate connection pipe of a length corresponding to the
Upper Stage Pump excess amount or more, to reduce the pressure applied to the pump
in the upper stage.

2. Check the approximate weight of one pump and the allowable

load for two eyebolts (per pump) shown in the selection table, and
determine the piping weight, installation method and lifting procedure
so that the allowable load is not exceeded.

3. The pump in the lower stage should be installed at the bottom of the
Seal Pressure vertical hole, unless special measures are taken. Do not suspend the
Relief Port
pump in midair. Do not allow the weight of the upper pump and piping
to be applied to the lower pump.
Lower Pump Casing
for Tandem Connection 4. Since a certain amount of water spouts from the seal pressure relief
port,* both the upper- and lower-stage pumps should be installed
in the vertical hole. Do not use the pumps as booster pumps in the
Companion Flange middle of a horizontal line lying on the ground.
(Option) * excluding LH33.0 and LH23.0W

Intermediate 5. Do not connect pumps of different models in series. Do not use either
Connection Pipe
of two connected pumps singly. Failure to observe these instructions
may change the operating point improper, resulting in trouble.

 Tandem Operation -LH / LH-W-
“Tandem operation” is an operation method that connects two pumps of the same model in series. This provides
double pump head at the same flow rate in comparison with that of a single pump. The principle of tandem
operation is the same as that with multistage pumps. The LH and LH-W series pumps adopt the center flange
construction to align the discharge pipe with the cylindrical pump center axis.* Connecting the pumps in series
with the tandem connector can provide higher pump head without affecting the advantage of the slim design. At
construction sites, there are many cases where a higher pump head is required as construction work progresses.
In such cases, the addition of a tandem pump may meet the required pump head, instead of using a new pump.
* Available as an option for separately purchased LH33.0 and LH23.0W.

Performance Curves REMARKS:
The intermediate connection pipe is not required in the range indicated as a bold line on curves. If the required total head exceeds the maximum head of the pump
without an intermediate connection pipe (indicated as dashed line), an intermediate connection pipe of a length corresponding to the excess amount or more is equired.
