The solid line part of the curve on the graph indicates the recommended use range of the pump. Users should carefully calculate the required flow head when selecting, so that the selected pump can work within the recommended range of use.
The diameter of the solids in the medium should not be larger than the minimum size of the flow channel, and it is recommended to be less than 80% of the minimum size of the flow channel. For example, for the 65WQ/EC40-22-4 pump shown in the figure, the diameter of the solid object should not be larger than 33×0.8≈26 mm.
The weight of the pump does not include accessories for various installation methods, such as coupling devices, elbow joints, hose elbow joints, etc.
WQ/EC type pumps have three installation methods: automatic coupling installation (Z), hose movable installation (R) and hard pipe movable installation (Y). The moving installation of hoses and hard pipes is simple and does not need to be elaborated. The following is an introduction to automatic coupling installation:
Automatic coupling installation eliminates the need for conventional fasteners to connect the pump to the pipe. The coupling device only has four parts: outlet pipe seat, guide rod, guide rod frame, and coupling frame. The guide rod only plays a guiding role and is not subject to force. It can be cut to the required length according to the depth of the pool with ordinary water pipes or steel pipes, so users can bring their own. During installation, install the outlet pipe seat, guide rod, and guide rod frame, install the coupling frame on the pump body, lift the pump, insert the semicircular hole on the coupling frame into the guide rod, and slide the pump down along the guide rod. At the end, the coupling frame will be aligned and fastened with the outlet pipe seat. When the pump needs to be repaired, just lift the pump upwards and the pump will be separated from the outlet pipe seat. This installation method is very convenient for pump maintenance.
Since the coupling device and the pump are relatively independent, if your pump station needs to be replaced with a low-lift or high-lift pump of the same caliber due to changes in conditions, you can still use the original coupling device.

- Overview of control cabinet products
The KQK-B electrical control cabinet supporting this series of submersible sewage pumps is an automatic control system that is economical, safe, reliable and easy to maintain. It has protection functions such as water intrusion into the oil chamber, water intrusion into the motor cavity, and winding overheating. When water enters the motor or the winding overheats, the fault light in the control cabinet lights up to alarm and stop the pump.
The control cabinet uses low-voltage electrical appliances and liquid level sensors from well-known domestic and foreign brands, and has protection functions such as short circuit, phase loss, and overload. The control cabinet can adopt ordinary relay control or panel controller control schemes, and is equipped with float level switches, water level electrodes and other liquid level sensors. When unattended, the start and stop of the water pump can be automatically controlled according to the level of the liquid level. Except for single-control products, all products with main and backup pump control have the function of automatically shutting down the faulty pump and automatically putting the backup pump on. Two-pump and three-pump control cabinets can realize automatic alternating or cyclic operation to achieve equal running time of each pump.
The control cabinet components with general configuration are mainly from well-known domestic brands such as Tianzheng, Chint, and Delixi; the control cabinet components with high-end configuration are mainly from internationally renowned brands such as Schneider, Siemens, and ABB. For a control cabinet with one control and two controls, if a panel controller solution is adopted, the cabinet size is 400×300×200 (height×width×thickness).

WQ/EC small submersible sewage pumps are mainly used in municipal engineering, building construction, industrial sewage and sewage treatment situations to discharge sewage, wastewater and rainwater containing solids and short fibers.
- The power supply is 380V, three-phase, 50Hz.
- The medium temperature does not exceed 40°C, the PH value is 4-10, and the medium density is ≤1050kg/m3.
- The minimum liquid level should comply with the liquid level marked with “▽” in the installation dimension diagram.
- It cannot be used in media that are highly corrosive and contain highly abrasive solid particles.
- The diameter of the solid matter in the medium should not be greater than 80% of the minimum flow channel size of the pump. For the flow channel size, see the “Main Parameters” of each pump below. The length of the fibers in the medium is not greater than the discharge diameter of the pump.
- Selected pump body and impeller
CAD technology is used to repeatedly modify the design to ensure that the pump body and impeller are optimally matched so that fibers and debris can easily pass through without getting entangled and blocked. The impeller is strictly balanced, resulting in small vibration and smooth operation of the pump.
- Highly reliable submersible motor
The specially designed and manufactured submersible motor has a protection level of IP68 and a stator winding with Class F insulation. Due to the good cooling effect during submersible operation, the actual temperature rise of the winding is low, making the motor more durable.
The motor dissipates heat through the casing. As long as the medium submerges half of the height of the motor stator, it can run reliably and safely. The more submerged, the more conducive to the cooling of the motor.
The cable is a sewage-resistant heavy-duty rubber-sheathed flexible cable. The cable core cross-section is selected for continuous full-load operation at an ambient temperature of 40°C, and is very reliable. The cable is re-fixed on the handle to avoid damage during transportation, installation and use.
- The motor has tight sealing and strict inspection.
1) Shaft sealing
Two independent single-end mechanical seals are arranged on the pump side and motor side respectively to form two shaft seals. The leakage volume is only less than one-tenth of the double-end mechanical seal. The lubricating oil in the oil chamber lubricates and cools the friction pair of the motor side mechanical seal.
The mechanical seal on the pump side that contacts the medium uses a silicon carbide/silicon carbide “hard-on-hard” friction pair, which has high hardness and low friction coefficient and is not prone to wear and failure;
The mechanical seal on the motor side, which is entirely immersed in oil, uses a graphite/silicon carbide “soft-to-hard” friction pair. The friction coefficient is very low and it is easy to “run in”, making the seal reliable. The small gap between the impeller and the pump cover can prevent impurities from entering the shaft seal cavity while maintaining good working conditions of the mechanical seal. The rubber parts of the mechanical seal are made of nitrile rubber with excellent oil resistance, and the springs and other structural parts are made of stainless steel.
2) Full sealing of cables
The WQ/EC pump motor cable adopts a fully sealed structure with a cast head. The cable sheath, cable core and cast head are vulcanized into a whole to ensure that water will not enter the motor cavity through the cable sheath or the gap between the wire cores. However, the cable ends should not be exposed to water. Water entering the cable will seriously reduce the insulation resistance of the cable and affect safety.
3) Seal between parts
O-rings are used as reliable static seals at the joints between the parts.
4) Sealing inspection
Parts can only be assembled after passing the pressure test. Each pump undergoes strict air pressure tests during and after assembly to ensure the sealing of the motor.
- Reliable bearing configuration
We use famous brand and high-quality deep groove ball bearings with sufficient load margin to ensure reliable operation of the product.
- Jet mixing function
A spray mixing hole is opened on the pump body. When the pump is running, the pressure water in the pump forms a high-speed jet stream through the spray hole for powerful stirring, suspending a large range of impurities, which are sucked into the pump and then drained away. Precipitation will not form within a wide range, which is superior to mechanical stirring only at the pump suction inlet.
- Protection device
An overheating protection element is installed in the motor winding. When the winding temperature exceeds the specified temperature, the overheating protection element lights up the “overheating” indicator light through the electric control cabinet and automatically shuts down the machine. Remind the operator to check to find out the cause of motor overheating. After the winding temperature drops, the overheating protection element will automatically reset and the motor will return to the start-up state, but it must not be started until the fault that caused the winding overheating is eliminated.
A water leakage probe is installed in the oil chamber. When the mechanical seal on the impeller side is damaged and the water in the leakage oil chamber reaches a certain level, the two electrodes of the water leakage probe are connected and an alarm signal is sent through the electric control cabinet (the indicator light is on) to remind the operation Personnel should promptly check the mechanical seal or replace the oil in the oil chamber.
For power 5.5kW and 7.5kW, a leakage probe is installed in the lower cavity of the motor. When the mechanical seal on the motor side fails, the oil or water in the oil chamber enters the inner cavity of the motor through the bearing chamber. The leakage probe installed in the lower cavity of the motor sends an alarm signal through the electric control cabinet (the water leakage indicator light turns on) and the pump automatically stops running.Remind the operator to inspect the pump.
List of motor protection components installed in the pump:
| Power(kW) | Oil chamber leakage probe | Winding thermal element | Water leakage probe in the lower cavity of the motor |
