VG-1500/130m Bronze

Hamworthy/Wärtsilä VG-1500/130m Bronze — Tanker Cargo Systems. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Submerged Cargo Pump, and it is normally installed in the tanker cargo pump room with suction from cargo tanks and discharge to the vessel cargo manifold system. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to load, discharge, circulate or strip liquid cargo through the tanker cargo piping system. Compared with tank-mounted deepwell or submerged pumps, a pumproom centrifugal cargo pump is installed centrally and relies on pump-room suction piping, shaft sealing and dedicated cargo pump controls. Within the supplied list, neighbouring variants are distinguished by their model designations and naming, while the source does not state further model-specific hardware differences. No additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

Cavitation from poor suction, low tank level or restricted valves causes vibration, noise and reduced cargo rate
Mechanical-seal or shaft-seal wear causes cargo leakage into the pump room
Bearing, shaft or coupling wear causes abnormal vibration, noise or rising temperature
Impeller erosion, corrosion or fouling reduces discharge pressure and capacity
Drive, governor, steam, electric or control faults as applicable cause reduced speed, inability to start or protective shutdown

Service & Maintenance

Inspect seals, bearings, coupling or drive, vibration, suction and discharge condition and pump-room leakage. Confirm valve line-up and stripping practice follow the approved cargo procedure. Monitor pump-room atmosphere and investigate cargo leakage promptly. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for clearances, pressure and wear limits.
