CT

Burks Series CT close coupled turbine pumps, 3450 (60Hz) and 2900 (50Hz) RPM and 4CT, 1725 RPM are available for capacities up to 8 GPM. (0.50 LPS) - pressures up to 150 PSI (1034 kpa) and temperatures up to 225°F (107°C), come with standard mechanical shaft seal. Special shaft seals are available for higher temperatures and fluids other than water.

These compact turbine pumps are designed for pumping clear water and many other non-abrasive, lower viscosity liquids. They are especially engineered for boiler feed on steam process applications and will serve up to a 38 hp. boiler at a 3 to 1 safety factor. Available in bronze fitted as standard. All bronze or stainless steel construction also available. These pumps are recommended for many application requiring higher pressures and lower capacities.

BURKS is the only turbine pump with Life-Lok ® External Impeller Adjustment feature that allows readjustment of impeller without disturbing piping, disassembling pump or replacing parts. Gives up to 40% longer service life than turbine pumps of other designs.

Burks CT Series Regenerative Turbine Pumps

High Pressure Performance for Boiler Feed, Condensate Return, and Process Applications

The Burks CT Series regenerative turbine pumps are specifically engineered for applications requiring high pressure at relatively low flow rates. Utilizing regenerative turbine technology, the CT Series develops significantly higher head pressure than comparable centrifugal pumps, making it an ideal solution for boiler feed systems, condensate return, pressure boosting, heat transfer circulation, and industrial process applications.

Compact, reliable, and built for continuous-duty operation, the CT Series is designed to handle clean water and other non-abrasive, low-viscosity liquids where dependable pressure performance is critical.

Exclusive Life-Lok® Adjustment System

One of the most valuable features of the Burks CT Series is the patented Life-Lok® External Impeller Adjustment system.

Benefits Include:

• Restores performance without pump disassembly

• No need to disconnect piping

• Reduces maintenance downtime

• Extends pump service life

• Lowers repair costs

• Helps maintain peak operating efficiency

This innovative feature allows operators to adjust impeller clearances externally, helping maximize pump performance throughout its service life.

Designed for Boiler Feed Applications

The CT Series has been widely used in boiler feed and steam process systems where dependable pressure generation is essential. The regenerative turbine design allows the pump to generate the high heads often required by small and medium-sized boilers without requiring a larger multistage pump system.

Optional High-Temperature Service

For hot water, thermal oil, and heat transfer applications, the CT Series is available with an optional jacketed seal cavity design. This specialized configuration helps extend seal life and supports elevated fluid temperatures in demanding heating and cooling systems.

Durable Construction

Built to provide years of dependable operation, the CT Series incorporates premium materials throughout the hydraulic assembly.

Available material options include:

• Bronze-Fitted Cast Iron

• All Bronze

• 316 Stainless Steel

These material configurations allow the pump to be matched to specific fluid requirements and operating environments.

Typical Applications

• Boiler feed systems

• Condensate return systems

• Steam process applications

• Pressure boosting systems

• Heat transfer circulation

• Water treatment equipment

• Hot water systems

• Industrial process equipment

• Chemical feed applications

• Spray systems

• General high-pressure liquid transfer
