The Eddy Pump
The EDDY Pump is NOT a class of
centrifugal pump nor a vortex type pump.
The EDDY PUMP is a patented and proven application
of the tornado phenomenon which creates and
harnesses a dynamic fluid eddy effect within
the pump housing and inlet. This effect is
similar to that which occurs in a tornado.
In the EDDY Pump, a very strong synchronized
central column of flow develops from the
pump rotor to the pump inlet and creates
a low pressure reverse eddy flow from the
pump inlet to the pump discharge.
This
action enables the EDDY Pump to achieve
significant operational and maintenance
performance improvements above and beyond
centrifugal and vortex pumps.
Water
Depth Deployment Configurations
Tornado Motion currently operates
ladder equipment capable of depths from 26
- 45 feet and cable deployed equipment up to
100 feet water deep
TMT can deploy
Eddy Pump technology in a broad range of
configurations in order to meet each customer's
specific needs. For dredging there are
two basic modes of deployment that dictate
the basic equipment configuration:
- Shallow dredging
from 2 to 20 feet.
- Deep dredging,
from 20 feet to over 100 feet.
- Remote shallow
dredging for specialized applications.
These are
illustrated in the following diagrams.
