HIGH HEAD DRAINAGE PUMPS
 Submersible High Head Drainage Pumps LH: Lineup of pumps with high head in consideration of discharge volume.
Tsurumi LH/LH-W series pumps are submersible heavy-duty pumps specialized for high LH-W: Comprised of dual impellers for extra high head.
head. These pumps are available in a wide lineup, offering 3 to 110kW motor output and
18 to 230m 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 Selection Table
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 3kW
work in limited space. 15kW
19kW
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 22kW
equipped with seal pressure relief ports* that release pump pressure applied to the 30kW
mechanical seal. Furthermore, to endure even extended operation at low water level, these LH
(Single Impeller) 37kW
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 45kW
long periods of time. 55kW

Available as optional specifications are a proprietary “seawater-resistant pump” developed 90kW
over many years by Tsurumi to enable seawater intake/drainage for long periods of time, 110kW
and an “all stainless steel pump” using 316 stainless steel for mining markets.

High Temperature Liquids Version

Tsurumi's pumps are applicable to high temperature liquids of up to 90°C. Pumps of the standard
specification can discharge liquids of up to 40°C. However, there are many fields that need to discharge
higher temperature liquids, e.g., discharging industrial water from a power plant or ironworks, or
discharging hot spring water from a mine in a volcanic zone.

4 7 High Voltage Version

Tsurumi's pumps can be fabricated to 690V or 1000V ratings that are often required for mining applications.
The pumps meet mining safety standards as they come with shielded cables and motors with built-in
diodes for ground-fault checks.

corrosive fluids generated in mines or quarries, and fluids of low pH value.

1 Anti-wicking Cable Entry 6 Oil Lifter [Patented]

Prevents water incursion due to capillary wicking should the power cable be damaged or the end submerged. 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.
2 Cable Clip
Prevents unexpected water incursion that can occur if the cable is damaged, by protecting the cable against the tugging 7 Leakage Sensor (55kW and above)
and rough handling found at construction sites. 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.
3 Motor Protector
Circle Thermal Protector (22kW and below) 8 Seal Pressure Relief Ports (excluding 3kW)
Directly cuts the motor circuit if excessive heat builds up or overcurrent occurs in the motor. Protect the mechanical seal from pump pressure. They also protect the seal face by discharging wear particles.
Miniature Thermal Protectors (30kW and above)
React to excessive heat caused by dry-running. The bimetal strip opens to cause the control panel to shut the power 9 Labyrinth Ring (LH 15kW and above & LH-W)

the maintainability.
4 Shaft
Quenching treatment is applied to parts that contact particles in pumped fluids and whose mechanical seal may wear out, 10 High-chromium Cast Iron Closed Impeller & Mouth Rings
to enhance surface hardness and extend shaft service life. Resists wear caused by abrasive particles and enables the pump to maintain its original performance for an extended period
of time.
5 Dual Inside Mechanical Seals with Silicon Carbide Faces LH: Single impeller LH-W: Dual impellers
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 11 Galvanic Anodes (excluding 3kW)
adhering matter. The Silicon carbide provides 5 times higher corrosion, wear and heat resistance than the tungsten carbide. Protect the pump against corrosive potential generated during the drainage of wastewater.
Rubber parts of the upper and lower fixing rings are made of NBR or FPM (FKM), which provides higher resistance to heat
and chemicals.

Tandem Operation “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

of two connected pumps singly. Failure to observe these instructions
may change the operating point improper, resulting in trouble.
