Could anyone tell me what this arrangement is? 2 pumps? The person I was going to ask is away for 2 days. A pump at the top and 2 vertical pumps lower down? I am pretty stuck. Thanks.

Poor, very poor quality interpretive "3D image" of three "somethings" with cylinders running between them

I disagree that the lower two are pumps (filters maybe) with that vertical cylinder-looking thing comping up eccentrically through what would be a vertical-axis motor above a pump. But, if so, the pump would be sucking and discharging horizontally though the "support" below.

But, like you point the lower items might be pumps, but their vertical cylinders going through them don't actually "connect" to the horizontal cylinder that runs into the upper pump-looking thing.

Whatever it is supposed to be, it will leak if built like the "CAD model" you have. *<)

This is probably not what you wanted to hear.
 
A flux capacitor?

Except that there are no valves, sources, or end uses shown, it looks a lot like a swimming pool circulation pump sitting on top of two sand filters.

Give us a hint, maybe? Is this connected to a project of some sort? Hotel or nuclear submarine? LNG plant or medical DI water system?

Best to you,

I see a roots blower on top of two dry SIHI screw vacuum pumps.
But that is just what I see, it is definitely an ink blot test for us.

Clearing away some of the foreground would probably help out. A different angle might also help. The leg from the "pump" doesn't appear to connected to anything, though

Do a search for a rough and regen pump. This type of pump can be used for cryogenic application. How do I know this? I just read the bottom border of your image.
