Helical rotor pump.
​
4HS “H” pumps are equipped with a helical rotor that moves within a double-helix rubber stator.
The rotor is made of AISI 304 stainless steel and coated with a hard chrome surface.
​
During operation, the rotor moves on the rubber surface and is lubricated by the pumped water.
​
The flow rate is directly proportional to the pump speed while the pressure supplied is kept almost constant.
​
In this way, unlike a centrifugal pump, the helical rotor pump provides high head even at low rpm, ensuring water on surface even with very low available power or low solar irradiation.
​
In addition, the helical rotor pumps feature higher hydraulic efficiency than centrifugal pumps having the same flow. This saves in the number of solar panels necessary for the application.
