Submersible aerator

Auto-suction submersible aerator for communal and

industrial waste water clearance and treatment.

TRN-submersible aerator
The Tsurumi TRN-submersible aerator is a
submersible motor, mixer and compressor in
one unit. The rotor of the submersible aerator
is directly connected with the motor shaft. As
shown in the illustration below, the rotation of
the rotor causes a circular movement of the
water, creating negative pressure around the
rotor. Air is then automatically suctioned from
above through the suction line. At the same
time water flows in from below into the area
around the rotor - this is then intensively

mixed with air due to the rotation of the rotor.

A fine air-water mixture is formed that is spun
radially outwards at high speeds through the
channels of the guide ring. The flow that this
creates ensures that every part of the tank is
reached and that the water is uniformly
oxygenated.

Features
High oxygen intake
optimum distribution and high
oxygen yield thanks to high level
of microscopic, small air bubbles.

Perfect mixing within the tank

a strong flow of water mixed with air
ensures
that every part of the tank is aerated
and that no sediment is formed.

Submersible motor

Simple, robust and compact

Flow generated by
air bubbles

The bearings and the oil bath around the

shaft seal are larger than required.
The air suctioned from above presses the
water away from the rotor and forms an
air cushion, preventing the
shaft seal from touching water.
This ensures fault-free 24 hour operation and
ensures long product life.

ADVANTAGES
- thorough mixing of the
waste water, thereby preventing
sediments
- tiny air bubbles provide aeration with
high oxygen utilisation
- completely insensitive to frost
- low noise level
- no spray formed
- simple installation and servicing thanks
to simple construction
- low risk of blockage

To prevent blockage caused by fibres

and solid particles the. TRN-series has
a special rotor and a specially designed
suction plate.

- large oil chamber

- Casing made of solid cast iron
- Shaft seal is protected from water
during operation
- A proven track record, with
tens of thousands produced
over more than 20 years

Uses in waste water clearance and treatment are as follows:

Mixing and equaliser tanks:
Standardising of waste water sludge loads and quantities and preventing odours
developing
SBR reactions and sludge activation tanks:
Breakdown of organic substances
Sludge stabilisation: Preventing development of odour and further oxidation of
the organic components in the waste water
Neutralisation:
Neutralisation or alkaline waste water with fumes or CO2
Flotation:
Flotation of oils and greases
Pond aeration:
Improves the aeration in natural waters such as in eutrophication

Standard accessories:
Sound absorber and valve

The open rotor of the TRN series suctions a large volume of water for the motor power through
the pump basket. This water is then mixed with air and distributed horizontally in all directions
through the channels of the guide ring.
The top of the rotor is hollow and allows the air that has been suctioned in to fill the area around
the shaft seal so that it can mix with the water at the rotor. One consequence of this is that a
layer of air is formed separating the shaft seal from the medium and thereby substantially
increasing the life of the shaft seal. Another effect is that the water that is suctioned in is
oxygenated with tiny air bubbles, effectively aerating the waste water.
To prevent blockage caused by fibres and solid particles the TRN series has a special rotor and a specially designed
suction plate.
The long life and low maintenance of the TRN submersible aerator is due specifically to the specially selected
materials. Only cast iron comes into contact with the water. Parts that are subject to particular wear such as the
shaft, screws, the rotor and suction plates are made of stainless steel. The dual mechanical seal (SiC/SiC) is a
particular feature of the TRN aerator; this is cooled by an oil bath of at least 0.5l per kW motor output.

The motor is a conventional squirrel cage motor with the following

features:
The bearings are over-sized (see illustrations on pages 11 and 12).
The stripped cable ends in the packing box are sealed in synthetic resin so as to
prevent water from penetrating the motor.
The directly started motors have a thermoswitch (motor protection) that
resets automatically. Within the cable wraps star delta motors have
a thermoswitch for each phase.
The double end face seal (SiC/SiC) is lubricated and cooled by an oil bath,
that is much larger than in other pumps with a comparable motor performance.

Installation types:
The free-standing installation is the most common type of installation. The submersible aerator is placed on the
floor of the tank without further anchorage. Its weight prevents the device from moving. The submersible aerator can
be lifted out of the tank with a crane for servicing without having to empty the tank.
For free-standing installation a simple metal stand can be used to increase the maximum tank depth in which the
submersible aerator can be installed by 0.5m without primary
pressure.
The inlet opening can also be extended with a pipe; the water
is taken from close to the base and the air above is centrifuged.
This allows the maximum tank depth to be increased by max.
1.5m.
Stationary installation is generally used for fitting in deep
tanks (also in combination with aeration with primary pressure,
etc.) or if assembly or disassembly is not possible with a mobile
crane. In this case the submersible aerators are fitted between guide pipes or on a
bridge. Lifting equipment is required to lift it out of the tank.
Floating installation is used, for instance, to aerate unsecured tanks, ponds, lakes
or rivers. The submersible aerator can also be secured oscillating on ropes or can be firmly anchored in position.
Hanging installation with suitable floats is also an option. A mobile crane is generally used to lift it in and out of the
tank.

AERATION UNDER PRE-APPLIED PRESSURE:

The aeration system consists of a compressor and a TRN-series TSURUMI submersible aerator.
A tank, for example is 9m, with 6m for the primary pressure of the compactor and 3m for the aerator.
This system substantially reduces the necessary power input and consumption and requires much less space.
The oxygen transfer rate is also increased thanks to the higher potential installation depth. This increases the time
the air bubbles take to reach the surface of the water in the aeration tanks.

We reserve the right to change specifications and designs herein for improvement without prior notice. Our pumps are for professional use only. In the event that
Tsurumi (Europe) GmbH have, in exceptional cases taken over, a manufacturers warranty, this entitles the end-user to assert remedy free of charge against Tsurumi
(Europe) GmbH due to any defect to the product occurring during the guarantee period (see below), also then when the warranty claims against the seller do not or
no longer exist. In the event of malfunction, which is attributable to the improper handling by the enduser, no guarantee claim shall arise. Further claims shall not
result from the warranty, unless if something to the contrary has explicitly been determined. The decision as to whether remedy is effected by way of replacement
or repair shall be at the choice of Tsurumi (Europe) GmbH. The claims shall be time barred after a period of three months after expiry of the guarantee period,
however, not before expiry of the warranty period which is valid towards the seller. In the event of doubt, the warranty period shall correspond with the warranty
period which is valid between the end-user and his seller.
