Burks EC and ED Series Turbine Pumps are designed for pumping any clean, non-corrosive, nonabrasive lower viscosity liquid on low flow, high head applications. They are used in a wide range of industries.

Burks EC & DC Series Regenerative Turbine Pumps

High-Pressure Performance for Demanding Commercial and Industrial Applications

The Burks EC and DC Series regenerative turbine pumps are engineered for applications requiring high discharge pressures at relatively low flow rates. Utilizing advanced regenerative turbine technology, these pumps provide pressure capabilities that exceed those of similarly sized centrifugal pumps, making them ideal for boiler feed systems, condensate return, pressure boosting, heat transfer circulation, water treatment, and industrial process applications.

Designed for continuous-duty operation, the EC and DC Series combine compact installation, dependable performance, and long service life. Whether serving a small boiler feed system or a demanding industrial process, these pumps deliver reliable pressure generation where conventional pump designs may fall short.

Regenerative Turbine Technology

Unlike traditional centrifugal pumps, regenerative turbine pumps continuously recirculate fluid through precision-machined internal passages, allowing pressure to build progressively as the liquid moves through the pump. This design provides exceptional pressure generation while maintaining smooth, efficient operation.

The result is a pump capable of delivering substantial discharge pressure without requiring larger multistage equipment, helping reduce installation complexity and system costs.

Built for Reliability and Easy Service

The EC and DC Series are constructed using durable materials and precision-machined components designed for long service life. Their simplified maintenance design helps reduce downtime and allows for efficient inspection, seal replacement, and routine service.

With fewer moving components and rugged construction throughout the hydraulic assembly, these pumps provide dependable operation in demanding environments where system uptime is critical.

Material Construction Options

Available construction materials include:

• Bronze-Fitted Cast Iron

• All Bronze

• Stainless Steel

These material options allow the pump to be matched to specific fluid conditions, operating temperatures, and corrosion-resistance requirements.

Optional High-Temperature Configurations

For hot water, thermal fluid, and heat transfer applications, select models can be configured for elevated temperature operation. These specialized configurations help protect seals and extend equipment life in demanding thermal systems.

Typical Applications

• Boiler feed systems

• Condensate return systems

• Pressure boosting applications

• Heat transfer fluid circulation
