A high - temperature pump is a pump used to pump heated liquids. Due to its design and specially selected materials, it can efficiently and without leaks pump heated solutions of oils, fuel and other solutions. Such pumps can pump liquids with a maximum temperature of up to 400 °C. In fact, the name of the pump does not include any design features. Any pump that operates at elevated temperatures can become high - temperature.
Most often, the need for pumping hot media occurs for industrial purposes. Usually, the maximum temperature in such projects reaches up to 400 °C. In the process, the pump is required to maintain the optimal system pressure and fluid supply rate in order to maintain the system's operability.
As already mentioned, a high - temperature pump can be presented in the form of any device in which the stability of materials is maintained at a sufficiently high level to counteract possible temperature deformations. Most often, the following pumps are used as high-temperature pumps:
Each of these types is focused on use in specific conditions. So, pumps with a mechanical seal can be used to transport liquids with temperatures up to 200 degrees. Centrifugal pumps are used for temperatures up to 340 °C, pump gears up to 250 °C, with a centrifugal coupling up to 450 °C.
The use of proven pumps that can handle high temperatures is very common in industry. In particular, such methods are used through:
Transportation of excessively heated liquids and solutions is mainly necessary to achieve industrial purposes. High-temperature pumps are actively used in metallurgy, oil refining and the chemical industry. Also, you can find such pumps at enterprises that focus on the production of lacquers, paints, papers, plastics, synthetics, rubber and pharmaceutical products. In general, you can use a high - temperature pump anywhere that requires efficient pumping of liquids up to 400 °C.
