2 HP Systems

Our 2 HP pumps provide site owners with a lot of flow for the money. Whether a new site or an upgrade, siteowners will experience a significant increase in flow, fuel revenues and profits by specifying a Red Jacket 2 HP Submersible Turbine Pump. For example; upgrading from a 1 1/2HP to our 2 HP pump increases flow by over 22% when 8 nozzles are operating. During peak fueling periods a pump upgrade translates to faster fueling cycles, and more customers.

2 HP pumps are economical to install, because they do not require shielded cable, and have proven to be less expensive to maintain. Variable speed pumps have multiple programmable set points that allow them to maintain a single output pressure over a wide range of flow rates. The motor speeds up or slows down in reaction to the varying system flow requirements. The variable speed pump delivers fuel at a relatively constant pressure until it reaches a point where the load is too great and the pressure begins to drop rapidly just like a fixed speed pump. Variable speed pumps normally do not require flow limiters because they deliver gasoline at a lower pressure at low demand. Controlling flow at the pump is, however, less accurate than at the dispenser because you can only set pressure to provide a given flow at one particular dispenser while other dispensers may deliver higher or lower flow depending on branching and pressure drops within the distribution system.
