Thrust and Lateral Issues in Deep Set Lineshaft Turbine Pumps

An in depth look at some of the mechanical issues that come into play when lineshaft turbines are set several hundred feet deep.  Factors to be discussed will include; thrust “constants” and how they are determined, how to calculate net lineshaft stretch, the influence of shaft size, and the effect of water temperature on net shaft stretch.  Ideas and tools will be provided to assist you with your impeller setting strategy.
