KSB's LUV pump is the power industry's best-performing glandless boiler recirculation pump.
HENRICO, Va. (August 8, 2011) - KSB is the world's most experienced supplier of super-critical high-pressure pumps for the power industry. Power producers recognize the LUV as the gold standard in high-pressure, high-temperature pumps. More than 1700 LUV pumps have been installed in power plants since the pump's introduction in 1955.
Adaptable for growing power plant needs
Traditionally an integral part of the boiler systems in coal-fired power plants, the LUV has become the pump of choice for solar and nuclear plants as well.
KSB is continually testing and challenging the design of the pump to ensure its adaptability for evolving markets, such as Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), which requires continuous cycling. Through Finite Element Analysis (FEA), temperature and pressure effects on material and internal clearances are efficiently maintained providing a reliable design.
Extraordinary reliability
LUV pumps feature a single-shaft design and a unique wet squirrel-cage motor that creates a completely leak-proof product. Forged, not cast, the LUV is exceptionally resistant in high-temperature and -pressure conditions.
LUV pumps' lifespan matches that of the plant. When maintenance is required, KSB is there to provide service through specially factory-trained and -employed technicians who know the pumps thoroughly. KSB technicians provide customized installations of the pump to ensure it operates optimally for the plant's requirements.
Power producers who are bringing new plants online or upgrading existing infrastructure are choosing the versatile, long-lasting LUV pump.
