The AIH series pump is horizontal single stage single suction cantilever centrifugal pump. It's optimized and upgraded based on IH, IJ, and CZ pumps, offering a wide efficiency range and extensive application. Features a long bearing distance to address shaft breakage issues in high specific gravity and high viscosity media.
Hydraulic performance employs advanced hydraulic models optimized through CFD simulations, enhancing pump efficiency by over 5% compared to IH pumps.
Suspension body utilizes a bracket-supported suspension structure, able to handle partial pipeline stresses, ensuring stable operation.
▍Product Advantages
1. Superior Corrosion & Abrasion Resistance
Material Science: Duplex stainless steel (PREN ≥38) resists pitting in chloride-rich environments (e.g., marine applications in Link 4). Hastelloy C-276 options handle sulfuric acid up to 95% concentration.
Hardened Components: Tungsten-carbide-coated impellers extend lifespan by 40% vs standard SS (critical for slurries in Link 8’s diesel pumps).
2. Zero-Leakage Safety
Sealing System: API Plan 53B barrier fluid + AIQUS gas-lubricated seals prevent leakage of volatile organics (exceeds Link 5’s Plan 52 for hydrocarbon safety).
ATEX Compliance: Certified for Zone 1/21 explosive atmospheres (unmatched by Link 2’s CE-only pumps).
3. Energy Efficiency & Sustainability
Hydraulic Optimization: 3D-printed impellers reduce recirculation losses, achieving MEI ≥0.85 (25% above ISO 2858 benchmarks).
Carbon Footprint: 18-ton CO₂/year reduction per pump vs legacy models (aligned with EU’s Green Deal targets).
4. Smart Maintenance Readiness
Edge Connectivity: Pre-installed ports for vibration (4–20mA) and thermal sensors enable predictive maintenance (vs reactive fixes in Link 6’s multistage pumps).
Digital Twin Integration: Laiko’s SmartPump Analytics platform provides real-time efficiency reports and failure forecasts.
▍Maintenance Tips for Peak Performance
Daily Monitoring:
Check barrier fluid pressure (maintain 1.5x process pressure).
Log vibration levels (alarm threshold: 4.5 mm/s RMS).
Quarterly Servicing:
Flush seal chambers with compatible solvent (e.g., ethylene glycol for polymer buildup).
Inspect casing liners for erosion (replace if thickness <3mm).
Annual Overhaul:
Rebalance impeller to ISO 1940 G2.5 standard (vs G6.3 in Link 7).
Replace thrust bearings after 25,000 operating hours.
▍FAQs: Addressing Critical Buyer Concerns
Q1: Can the AIH handle high-solids fluids like mining slurries?
A: Yes, with optional hardened NiCr impellers (up to 65 HRC) and replaceable casing wear plates. Max solids size: 6mm.
Q2: What’s the lead time for Hastelloy C-276 models?
A: Standard delivery is 8 weeks; expedited 4-week slots available for urgent refinery turnarounds.
Q3: Does Laiko provide onsite training for smart monitoring?
A: Yes—certified technicians deliver 2-day workshops on IoT integration and failure mode analysis.
Q4: How does the AIH compare to vertical canned pumps for sulfuric acid?
A: Horizontal design allows easier maintenance and higher flow rates (2,000 m³/h vs 800 m³/h in Link 9’s vertical pumps).
Q5: What’s the ROI when upgrading from older pumps?
A: Typical ROI is 14 months via energy savings (avg. 160,000 kWh/year) and reduced downtime.
▍Industry Trends & Strategic Alignment
1. Decarbonization of Petrochemicals
The AIH’s MEI ≥0.85 supports refineries in meeting Scope 3 emissions targets, with case studies showing 22% energy reduction in crude transfer.
2. Digital Twin Adoption
Laiko’s partnership with Siemens MindSphere enables virtual pump modeling, reducing commissioning time by 30% in LNG plants (Link 5’s API pumps lack this integration).
3. Circular Economy Compliance
99% recyclable construction aligns with EU’s ELV Directive, contrasting with Link 1’s epoxy-coated models.
