Pump systems for flooding water levees.

Pump systems for flooding water levees. Pouring kits for centrifugal pumps.

Hydro-Vacuum S.A. offers pumping systems for flooding water levellers or centrifugal pumps that have no self-priming capability. Such a system can operate, depending on the agreement with the customer in automatic or semi-automatic option automatic. The completeness of the system (scope of delivery) is always adapted to the requirements of a particular customer.

Almost all centrifugal pumps can operate on suction, however, only self-priming pumps have the ability to self-priming, that is, emptying the suction pipeline of air, which is a prerequisite for suction operation.

Self-priming pumps are produced in a limited range of sizes and designs. In the event that a centrifugal pump does not have the self-priming capability, to be able to pump with suction requires flooding the pump, and the entire suction pipeline.

The priming of centrifugal pumps , which do not have the ability of self-priming, is done by means of vacuum pumps with a rotating liquid ring. Since steam and water molecules are also pumped along with the sucked air, such a pump must be resistant to these very factors. Hydro-Vacuum S.A. produces such features. PW/DW-type water-ring vacuum pump. These pumps can also be used for flooding water levellers.

The standard system manufactured by Hydro-Vacuum S.A. for flooding water jacks and pumps consists of:

  • Vacuum pump (PW)
  • Vacuum tank (ZP)
  • Tank separating the pumped gas from the working fluid (ZBP)
  • Piping
  • Fittings (valves)
  • Control and measurement fittings (pressure and temperature sensors and transducers)
  • Protection and control system
  • Water presence systems (ZKP + fittings) for each centrifugal pump


Flooded systems are used wherever there are surface water intakes where pumps that do not have the ability to self-priming. A pumping unit for flooding levees manufactured by Hydro-Vacuum SA, works in a groundwater pumping station, protecting the Gromiec village near Libiąż from flooding.
