Efficient circulation in high-temperature heat transfer loops depends on maintaining stable suction conditions at the pump inlet. As fluid temperature increases, vapor pressure rises, and fluid density decreases, reducing the margin between the system’s available suction head and the pump’s required suction head. Once this margin closes, vapor bubbles form …
Maintaining Cooling Reliability in Industrial Systems distortion, fluid breakdowns, and unplanned shutdowns. Cooling interruptions, caused by low tank levels, pump failures, fouled heat exchangers, or temperature runaways, can quickly escalate the situation. Automated cooling fail-safes ensure that critical limits are enforced even when conditions change faster than an operator can …
Pumping heat transfer fluid efficiently depends on pumps that can maintain stable circulation under varying temperature and viscosity conditions. The heat transfer fluid selected directly influences pump sizing, materials, seals, and overall reliability. Matching the fluid to the pump and designing for the actual operating temperature range lays the groundwork …
Börger rotary lobe pumps and stainless-steel tanks keep tough food & beverage duties moving—cleanly, gently, and with control. From canning lines pushing fruit segments and pulp hundreds of meters, to beverage plants dosing liquid sugar with rpm-precise accuracy, to viscous glucose syrups at 500–14,500 mPas, these systems handle it. They …
Heating is a fundamental element in industrial thermal loops. Whether you’re maintaining process temperature, preheating fluids, or compensating for heat losses, how and where you add heat matters. The choice between inline heaters (also called circulation heaters) and tank (immersion) heaters affects system response, control precision, footprint, and piping layouts. …
Fluid Choice Shapes Your Loop’s Potential Selecting the correct fluid for an industrial heating and cooling loop is a critical decision. Whether you circulate glycol blends, thermal oil, or chilled water, that choice dictates your temperature limits, system pressures, pumping energy, and maintenance demands. Each fluid comes with trade-offs in …
Introduction to Slurry Handling Handling slurry means transporting a mixture of liquid and solid particles, often mineral or industrial waste suspended in water or another carrier fluid. Because slurry combines fluid behavior with the abrasive and settling tendencies of solids, it presents challenges like wear, clogging, inefficient flow, and unpredictable …
High-quality feed water is essential for safe, efficient, and dependable boiler operation. Even small concentrations of dissolved gases, minerals, or suspended particles can erode metal, cause scaling, clog passages, and reduce heat transfer. Over time, these issues degrade steam output, raise fuel use, and lead to unplanned maintenance or equipment …
Vertical multistage pumps are designed with multiple impellers stacked along a vertically oriented shaft, allowing them to produce high pressure while keeping the overall footprint compact. Their space-efficient construction and impressive head capabilities make them ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. For instance, the Grundfos CR …
Energy Consumption in Industrial Pumping Systems Pumping systems are a significant source of industrial energy consumption, accounting for approximately 20–25% of global electricity demand and up to 50% of a plant’s total electrical energy usage. This significant energy use is due to both the importance of pumps across various processes …
