Intelligent Submersible Turbine Pumps

Design Highliights/Advantages

• Constant Flow - Depending on your peak business requirements, marketers now have a choice of either 2 hp or 4 hp models. 2 hp model provides constant 10 GPM (38 LPM) for up to eight fueling positions operating simultaneously, 4 hp for up to twelve positions.
• Constant Flow means faster fueling times during those daily peak business periods resulting in higher fuel sales.
• MagVFC™ features a dual seven segment display to show diagnostic faults. A serial interface is standard to connect to INCON System Sentinel™ software for remote reporting of pump alarms and sharing other pump and ATG intelligence. The MagVFC detects/ displays these systems conditions:
  
  • Dry tank, 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, 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 reduces 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/dispensing system. This eliminates over pressurizing the system which results in unnecessarily high hydraulic hammer and the need for other devices to control the 10 GPM maximum allowable flow rate per nozzle.
• Performance specific to your system needs and no ongoing cost in maintaining 10 GPM flow rates using flow restriction devices.

Specifications

Power Requirements

• IST models can only be powered by a MagVFC™ controller.
• 4 hp models require three phase incoming power supply to the MagVFC™.
• for proper operation
• 2 hp models can operate with single- or three-phase incoming power supply to the MagVFC™.
• Incoming power supply to the MagVFC™ can be 200-250 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz.
• MagVFC™ outputs a three-phase variable frequency signal, valid for FE Petro variable speed pumps only.
• MagVFC™ Max Line Draw: 20 Amps.
• 4 hp max. motor Draw: 15 Amps.
• 2 hp max. motor Draw: 9 Amps.

Pump Motor

• 2 hp or 4 hp, variable speed, 2-stage centrifugal type pump motor with integral, automatic, thermal overload protection.
• Max. flow: 2 hp = 110 gpm, 4 hp = 140 gpm.
• Max. pressure: selectable operating pressure on MagVFC between 24 psi and 42 psi deadhead.
• Available with MagShell™ expanded shell which results in 45% increased flow area around motor.

Liquid Compatibility

• Max. liquid viscosity: 70 SSU at 60 ° F (15 °C)
• IST models imply alcohol-gasoline compatibility and are UL and cUL listed for fuel mixtures containing up to 100% ethanol or methanol, 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 non-gelled pourable state.
• All wetted elastomers are made of a high grade, fluorocarbon viton compound.

Standard Features

• All IST models include variable speed, variable length, and alcohol-gasoline options.
• Check Valve: 2 3/4" diameter fluorocarbon viton seal constructed on cast aluminum body and steel backing washer.
• Pressure relief valve: available in four pressure relief settings, integral to check valve. Standard model relieves at 40 psi and resets above 35 psi.
• Siphon: venturi type siphon primer supplied with every submersible. Siphon Check Valve and Secondary Siphon 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

• All IST models are UL and cUL listed.
• Consult factory for other applicable approvals quality certification.
• Franklin Fueling Systems is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer.

Designation System

Click here to view the diagram.

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

IST YYYYY A - B - C

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.

YYYYY = Factory Installed Options
IST model designations may include one or more of the following characters in alphabetical order:

F = Floating suction adapter (1 1/2” NPT female adapter)
K = Intake filter screen (IFS, factory installed to PMA) M = MagShell™ (flow enhancing expanded PMA shell)
*R = Model R check valve (24 psi relief/22 psi reset for PLLD)
*W = Model W check valve (16 psi relief/13 psi reset for PPM4000)

*Note: if not otherwise specified, all IST models are supplied with standard model check valve (40 psi relief / 35 psi reset for MLD and LS300)

A = Pump Motor Horsepower Rating**
VS4 = 4 hp variable speed

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

B = Model Length
1 = 2 hp variable length range 59” – 87”
2 = 2 hp variable length range 90” – 151”
3 = 2 hp variable length range 122” – 213”
VL1 = 4 hp variable length range 64” – 92”
VL2 = 4 hp variable length range 95” – 156”
VL3 = 4 hp variable length range 127” – 218”

Note: IST-2 and ISTVS4-VL2 models fit 94% of all known installations.

C = Riser Pipe Length
Note: Riser pipe length is expressed as two numeric characters that indicate the total length of the riser in inches. Riser pipes are available from 7” to 69” in one inch increments
(add’l charge for risers 31” or longer)

Ordering Information

IST - Intelligent Submersible Turbine (Variable Speed, Variable Length, AG Compatible)

1. Remove “M” from Model Number for non-MagShell™ pump motor assembly.
