Cornell Announces New Version of Pump Selection, Sizing, and Operational Software; Pump-Flo Connect!

Selecting Cornell pumps with Pump-Flo, just got easier, with more options! Cornell Pump Company has utilized Pump-Flo, a pump selection program, for years. The latest iteration offers many great new features to users, including:

• Operating Point Reporting Based on Intersection of System Resistance Curve and Selected Performance Curve – Updated reporting shows the head and flow on the selected curve where the pump will operate in a system characterized by the default resistance curve.

• All-New Optional Reporting of Speed at Design Flow – Allows the user the option of calculating the pump speed that would be required to meet the design flow rate. 

• Two Ways to Dynamically Change Speed and Impeller Diameters on Performance Curves – Elevator buttons can be used to change speed and impeller diameters on performance curves, as well as our original text box functionality.

• Multiple Speed Curves with Design Point, Efficiency, NPSHr, Power, and SRC’s – Create a multiple speed curve from a fixed speed curve and add your design point, efficiency, NPSHr, Power, and SRC’s to your newly created multiple speed curve. 

• Enhanced Manual Selection Functionality- Users can create a selection list manually by selecting pumps using the following criteria: size, speed, and type. 

Pump-Flo Connect still offers users the ability to enter conditions and review Cornell pumps as it always has, as well as create professional data sheets showing the operational conditions and pump curve. Connect is cloud-based, and can be used on devices with an internet connection. Connect requires users to create a log-in if they are new, or re-login to access the system if they are a current user.

Cornell also maintains a desktop version of Pump-Flo, which once downloaded, can be used in locations where internet connectivity is unreliable or non-existent.

To access either of these great sizing and selection programs, visit the Support Page of cornellpump.com.

A Horde of Cornell Pumps in Mongolia

A first-hand account of 14NHGH Redi-Prime® pumps installation, testing, and site training in Mongolia.

Four Cornell 14NHGH Redi-Prime pumps replaced aging Soviet infrastructure in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia. Promoting tourism from SE Asia, Europe, and Australia, the Mongolian government has been keen on improving infrastructure. Prior to arrival of the 14NHGH pumps, the treatment plant had been using only two functioning Russian pumps that required special procedures to keep in operation.

Keeping it in operation was a relative term, with the plant often running unreliably, and diverting effluent to the river during peak usage or equipment outages. The Cornell pumps were installed easily. The strange operational protocols used to keep the Russian pumps serviced did cause an initial hiccup, though. In order to start the old units, operators flooded the sump to a level that bypassed the solids screen, thus filling the inlet with solids larger than 4” in diameter. After several days of trying to determine why the new pumps weren’t working at peak efficiency, the operation was halted and pit drained. Inside one 14NHGH, a larger brick was removed from the impeller, while another pump had a tire stuck in its impeller.

After working on better start up procedures, including cleaning out the entire sump and suction piping the pumps worked well. Cornell’s commitment went not only to supply pumps, but field testing them thousands of miles away from the factory, and sending a lead engineer and training team in for a couple weeks’ worth of operation training. Efficient by Design talks not only about our product, but also our service after the sale.

Introducing Cornell Pump's V Series

Since our start in 1946, Cornell has designed and built pumps that cover a wide range of applications and duty points. We're pleased to extend our line of products with the V-Series line. The V-stands for Value, and that's just what these pumps bring to applications such as:

• Agriculture 
• Municipal/clear water utilities 
• Booster pumping 
• Water transfer 
• Process water 
• Water treatment 
• HVAC 

Designed as a medium-duty pump with 1" to 3" discharge sizes, the V- series marries reliability with the economy to produce an efficient and competitively priced unit. In all, eight models are available in horizontal close coupled and vertical mounts, with heads up to 285' and flows up to 960 GPM. This product has a silicon carbide/silicon carbide single mechanical seal provided as standard.

V-SERIES PUMP MODELS	SIZE	MAX. DIA	MAX FLOW	MAX HEAD
1VL	2" x 1" NPT	6"	160 GPM	150'
1.5VL	2" x 1.5" NPT	6"	290 GPM	148'
2VL	2.5" x 2" NPT	6"	445 GPM	144'
1VH	2" x 1" NPT	8"	230 GPM	285'
1.5VH	2" x 1.5" NPT	8"	330 GPM	260'
2VH	2.5" x 2" NPT	8"	475 GPM	215'
2.5VH	3" x 2.5" FLG	8"	620 GPM	250'
3VH	4" x 3" FLG	8"	960 GPM	242'

The three VL models have maximum 6" diameter impellers, and provide performance at lower heads than Cornell's WH series, at a lower cost point. The five VH models have maximum 8" diameter impellers, providing additional head above our current WH pump series, and performance at the lower end of our YH pump series, at a substantial cost savings.

SP Slurry Pump going strong after three years in service

An Australian sand quarry began using a Cornell 6SP rubber-lined slurry pump in May of 2012, and it has run without a seal leak since!  The sand quarry extracts approximately 50 tons per hour of materials that is fed through the Cornell 6SP as a slurry, which is then spun in a cyclone seperator to extract the usable sand. The detritus is separated from the sand and returned to the quarry area.
The sand is used in general construction projects throughout Australia, as fill and often as additive for concrete production.

The operation is active five days a week about nine hours each day, pumping a slurry of approximately 30% solids. The rubber liner and impeller help extend pump life. The 6SP has been subject to more than 1,600 start and stop instances since its installation. The pump has worked flawlessly.  General wear parts such as impeller and liner have been replaced in the three years of operation, but the Cycloseal® sealing system has not had to be replaced once. No leaks in the sealing system have occurred, and the pump has been in operation close to 7,000 hours.  The quarry manager is very impressed with the durability and reliability of the 6SP, and happy that he doesn’t have to contend with pump leaks common on competitors’ slurry pumps.
The 6SP is part of the SP series, with pumps from 2” to 12”, handling pH levels for 1 to 14 (varies depending on the lining and impeller material.)  The SP series is available in rubber or metal liners and impellers, with heads up to 235’ feet at best efficiency and flows of up to 14,000 GPM, and ability to handle a 3.5” solid.

New Machining Equipment at Cornell Pump Company

Cornell recently invested in a new piece of equipment for the shop. The MAZAK will replace the makino for the machining of pump parts. The MAZAK will primarily be used in the machining of volutes, but will have capabilities of running a wide variety of parts. The addition of this new machine will improve the manufacturing capabilities here at Cornell, allowing the shop to run larger parts than ever before. The MAZAK will also allow for improved yields, better lead times, and reduced cycle times.
The Mazak will be installed in the shop before the end of February and will be running alongside the Makino until the transition is complete, which will take a few months. Cornell expects that at least 80% of parts currently being run on the Makino will be handled by the MAZAK by the end of April.
The investment in such a machine is part of Cornell’s commitment to manufacturing in the United States. Over the last year, Cornell has upgraded three key pieces of equipment on the manufacturing floor, and will continue to invest in equipment which expands and improves Cornell’s in-house manufacturing capabilities.
