Product catalog summary
Overview
The 3S series by Alfa Laval is designed for long service life in harsh conditions, offering a comprehensive range of 29 pump sizes with delivery rates from 5 to 2,900 l/min at 1450 rpm. These pumps are suitable for lubricating, non-abrasive oil-based liquids in marine and industrial applications.

Applications
The 3S pumps are used as feed and circulation pumps for fuels and lubricants, lubricant and coolant pumps for gears, engines, and hydraulic systems, and feed and transfer pumps for oil burner technology.

Benefits
Key benefits include minimized life cycle cost, low maintenance, high quality, environmental friendliness, high volumetric and energy efficiency.

Design Features
The 3S series features a lifetime-lubricated external ball bearing with a 30,000-hour lifespan, a weep hole to prevent residue accumulation, and a mechanical seal designed to dissipate frictional heat efficiently. The pumps are available with magnetic coupling, ensuring no wear due to friction and hermetic sealing at the drive end.

Technical Data
  • Materials: Pump casing is made of nodular cast iron, screws of nitration-hardened steel, and mechanical seal faces of SiC/hard metal.
  • Port Connections: Flanges PN16 according to EN 1092-1 type B1/B2.
  • Motors: Available in 2, 4, and 6 poles with efficiency class IE2.
  • Operating Limits: Max inlet pressure of 6 bar for mechanical sealed pumps and 16 bar for magnetic coupled pumps, max discharge pressure of 16 bar, and temperature range from -20°C to +250°C.

Models and Configurations
The 3S series includes various models (BI, BT, VI, BS, VT) allowing for numerous installation methods. Each model is available in different sizes and configurations to suit specific system designs.

Testing and Certification
Each pump is performance tested before leaving the factory. Certification is available upon request from various class societies such as ABS, BV, DNV, etc.

Dimensional Data
Detailed dimensional data is provided for different pump sizes and configurations, ensuring proper fit and installation in various systems.

Alfa Laval three-screw pump 38 pump-2

Design The 3S series pump is designed with a lifetime-lubricated external ball bearing with an expected lifetime of 30,000 hours. With a weep hole just between the shaft seal and the bearing, preventing accumulation of residue, the bearing is well protected. The ball bearing is not exposed to the pumped liquid. The mechanical seal is well lubricated and cooled. The seal is designed to efficiently dissipate frictional heat. Consequently, the 3S series is characterised by an innovative­design for long service life, even in harsh operating conditions. Technical data Materials Pump casing Nodular...
