Lubi Suction Diffuser is a device which directly mounts to the suction side of horizontal or vertical centrifugal pumps.
It is designed to reduce space and installation cost by replacing a conventional 90° elbow, 'Y' strainer and flow stabilizing piping on the suction side of the pump.
It may also be used as a reducing elbow, should the suction piping be larger than the pump inlet.
The suction diffuser consists of a start-up strainer (removable fine mesh filter), permanent strainer, guide vane, body cover and body cover 'O' ring.
The suction strainer helps to remove foreign materials that may be hazardous to the pump or other system components, while providing the proper flow conditions to the pump.
The water flow is passed through an in-built strainer to remove suspended solids and then guided to the pump suction through flow stabilizing guide vane.
Guide vanes reduces turbulence and resulting stress and vibration. Fine mesh filter is provided to prevent seal failure and instrumentation damage during commissioning.
