This set of packings is going to handle a tough job. The pump is rated at 865 gpm, 4250' total head, handling hot (312*F.) boiler feed water at 88# suction pressure and driven by a 3850 rpm induction motor (shaft sleeves are chrome plated--675 Brinell). There are many styles of "John Crane" Packings--'but Style 805-MBF was recommended and used because it was developed and developed alone for high speed centrifugal boiler feed pumps. The natural lubricating characteristics in the design of the monel and asbestos yam braid-overbraid construction mokes it a strong, wear resistant pack ing. Used in hundreds of installations all over the world-- it has proved to be a highly efficient, long-life, trouble-free packing that givea you the results you want.

All of the pit discharged from the pump passes through a ilne-mesh bronae filter before entering the distribution system. The oil stays clean and bearing surfaces ere protected. Because the frame is sealed, oil stays in; and dust and dirt stay out. The oil in the crankcase keeps clean, end the smooth con tour* of the frame make it easier to keep clean outside! Ever since the first steam-powered compressor of "4-eomer" construction was built by IngersolbRand -In 1900, I-R "steamers" have been the standard of comparison. Through the following years, other models introduced such precedentbreaking improvements as; balanced-piaton-valve riding cut-off steam end, double-crosahead and tie-rod construc tion, and Channel Compressor Valvea. The new XPV sets a truly new sto'ndord of comparison. Many of the outstanding features of the old XPV have been retained because of their advantages. Many improve ments have been introduced to make a superior compressor. One of the outstanding features of the.new XPV is Its full floating bearings. Main, crankpln, and crosshead-pin bear ings are all free to rotate; rubbing speeds arc reduced, and bearing loads and lubricant are distributed evenly around the entire bearing surface both inside and out. The wear on these non-adjustable bearings U almost non-existent, and the sealed, dust-tight frame need be opened only lor Inspection. Part by part, and as a complete unit, the new XPV has been designed to compress air or gas .with the greatest over-all efficiency. For further information ask'the nearest I-R branch office for Bulletin 3444-A. Call upon IngersollRand engineers to prove why you should use this new XPV, the new standard of comparison.'
