Intelligent Submersible Turbine Pumps

FE Petro introduced the first variable speed submersible pump for the petroleum industry in 1995. Since that time, high volume marketers around the world have realized the benefits of filling cars faster during peak business periods that only variable speed submersibles can deliver. Station size and volumes have continued to grow. To meet the needs of these high volume retailers, FE Petro offers the intelligent submersible turbine pump, the industry’s highest performing 4” diameter submersible pump.

ADVANTAGES

Constant Flow
Depending on peak business requirements, marketers now have a choice of either 2 hp or 4 hp variable speed models. 2 hp provides constant 10 gpm (38 lpm) for up to eight fuelling positions operating simultaneously, 4 hp for up to 12 positions.

MagVFCTM/ EcoVFCTM Design Highlights
The MagVFCTM and EcoVFCTM feature a dual seven segment display to show diagnostic faults. A serial interface is standard to connect to INCON System SentinelTM software for remote reporting of pump alarms and sharing other pump/ ATG intelligence. The MagVFCTM and EcoVFCTM detect and display these system conditions:
• Dry tank (initiates an immediate pump shut-down).
• Continuous pump run.
• Low incoming voltage.
• Pump motor failure.
• Short circuit detection.
• Controller faults.
• Open circuit detection.
For reduced installation cost, a shielded power cable is not required. Pump protection extends pump life and extended run fault alerts a condition that may render line leak detection ineffective. Remote reporting of pump alarms and sharing of IST and ATG intelligence further reduce station operating costs.

Meets EPA Spitback Control
The IST can be adjusted at installation to perform at maximum per nozzle flow rate of 10 gpm (38 lpm) based on the specifications of your piping and dispensing system. This eliminates overpressuring the system, which results in an unnecessarily high hydraulic hammer and need for other control devices.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

IST models can only be powered by a MagVFCTM or EcoVFCTM controller:
• 2 hp models can operate with single-phase incoming power supply to the MagVFCTM.
• 2 and 4 hp models operate with three-phase incoming power supply to the EcoVFCTM.
• Incoming power supply is 200-250 VAC, 50 Hz for the MagVFCTM and 360-440 VAC, 50 Hz for the EcoVFCTM.
• MagVFCTM and EcoVFCTM outputs a three-phase, variable frequency signal, valid for FE Petro variable speed pumps only.
• 2 hp max. motor draw: 7 Amps.
• 4 hp max. motor draw: 15 Amps.
• MagVFCTM max. line draw: 20 Amps.

LIQUID COMPATIBILITY

Max. liquid viscosity: 70 SSU at 60°F (15°C).
• IST models imply alcohol-gasoline compatibility for fuel mixtures containing diesel fuel with up to 20% biodiesel, 100% biodiesel, up to 85% ethanol with gasoline, and 20% MTBE, 20% ETBE or 17% TAME with gasoline.
• IST models can also be used with diesel fuels, fuel oils, kerosene, Avgas and jet fuels in a nongelled pourable state.
• All wetted elastomers are made of a high grade, fluorocarbon compound.

STANDARD FEATURES

• All IST models include variable speed, variable length options and alcohol- gasoline compatibility.
• Check valve: 70mm diameter fluorocarbon seal constructed on cast aluminium body and steel backing washer.
• Pressure relief valve: available in four pressure relief settings, integral to check valve. Standard model relieves at 2.76 bar and resets above 2.41 bar.
• Syphon: venturi-type syphon primer supplied with every submersible. Syphon check valve and secondary syphon sold separately.
• Air eliminator: every submersible includes tank return path with one-way check valve to provide active air elimination.
• Electrical disconnect: electrical yoke for positive contractor disconnect during service.

APPROVALS

• Consult factory for applicable approvals.

QUALITY CERTIFICATION

• Franklin Fueling Systems is an ISO 9001 Certified Manufacturer.

Intelligent Submersible Turbine Pump Specifications
INTELLIGENT SUBMERSIBLE TURBINE PUMP MODEL DESIGNATION SYSTEM

Typical turbine model designation has up to five components to define the pump being supplied as follows:

IST   XXXXX     Y     A     B  

IST = Basic Model Designation

Note: All IST models include the options of alcohol-gasoline compatibility, variable speed and variable length as part of the base model.

  XXXXX   = Factory Installed Options

IST model designations may include one or more of the following characters in alphabetical order:
F = Floating suction adapter (11⁄2” NPT female adapter)
K = Intake filter screen (IFS, factory installed to PMA)
M = MagShellTM (flow enhancing, expanded PMA shell)
R* = Model R check valve (1.65 bar relief/1.52 bar reset for PLLD)
W* = Model W check valve (1.10 bar relief/0.89 bar reset for PPM4000)
*Note: If not otherwise specified, all IST models are supplied with standard model check valve (2.76 bar relief/2.41 bar reset for MLD, TS-LS300, and TS-LS500)

  Y   = Pump Motor Horsepower Rating**

VS4 = 4 hp variable speed
**Note: If not otherwise specified, 2 hp variable speed is implied.

  A   = Model Length

1 = 2 hp variable length, 1486-2228mm
2 = 2 hp variable length, 2274-3835mm
3 = 2 hp variable length, 3087-5429mm
VL1 = 4 hp variable length, 1613-2355mm
VL2 = 4 hp variable length, 2401-3962mm
VL3 = 4 hp variable length, 3214-5556mm
Note: IST-2 and ISTVS4-VL2 models fit 94% of all known installations.

  B   = Riser Pipe Length

Riser pipe length is expressed as two numeric characters that indicate the total length of the riser in inches. Riser pipes are available from 178mm to 1753mm in 25.4mm increments (additional charge for risers 787mm or longer).

Intelligent Submersible Turbine Pumps (variable speed, variable length, AG compatible)

1. All above models are compatible with fuel mixtures containing up to 85% ethanol with gasoline, diesel fuels with up to 20% biodiesel, 100% biodiesel, and 20% MTBE, 20% ETBE or 17% TAME with gasoline.
2. All models are supplied with a standard check valve unless factory option “R” or “W” is specified.
3. 4 hp models require EcoVFC with three-phase incoming power supply, 2 hp models can be powered by MagVFC or EcoVFC.
4. 4” riser pipe, if supplied locally, must be 41⁄2” OD by 3/16” WT tubing.
5. STPAG models are UL listed for compatibility with fuel mixtures containing up to 85% ethanol with gasoline.
6. For riser pipe lengths 787mm to 1753mm, additional charge applies.
*Model length (A) defined as the dimension from turbine manifold bottom to pump motor inlet.
