Canned motor pump for high gas content liquids:
During the transfer from the tank to the suction flange, the pumped liquid can vaporise due to pressure losses in the suction pipe or external heating on the pipe.
- PUMPING RESTRICTIONS:
Pumping gas causes irreversible damage of the machine :
- It can break the lubricating film on the hydrodynamic bearings and lead to dry running which destroys the bearings
- Presence of gas generates cavitation which rapidly degrades the mechanical parts of the pump
- OPTIMEX SOLUTIONS:
Depending on the gas concentration, OPTIMEX will select a suitable circulation to protect the pump. It may be necessary to install an adapted equipment for the operating conditions, such as special bearings or an impeller.
Examples of high gas content liquids:
- Hydrogen (H)
- Nitrogen (N)
