An ethylene glycol pump is an equipment for pumping liquids that contain ethylene glycol or its other derivatives. Due to the chemical characteristics of the solution, the pump design must be reliable, sealed and protected from explosions. When designing pumps, only materials that do not spark are used. This is due to the fact that it is necessary to maintain maximum security and ensure the reliability and operability of the system.
Ethylene glycol is not supplied to the system in its pure form. Preferably, it is mixed with water. Such a solution has a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point. The mixture is more viscous and fluid. It allows you to heat or cool the network more efficiently and cheaper. The liquid does not cause metal corrosion, but is toxic to humans during any contact. Therefore, it is important to maintain maximum tightness of the ethylene glycol pump.
Depending on the situation and conditions, the project uses different pumps for pumping ethylene glycol. The most effective ones are:
The first type is used in situations where the temperature and pressure of the network is not high. The second type is used for working with liquids of increased temperature and pressure of the network, since during heating the ethylene glycol solution can seep through mechanical seals and you need to take care of protection with other structural solutions.
Most of all, the choice of pump is influenced by the temperature of the liquid that will be pumped and the requirements for the pump capacity. Since the liquid quickly loses its thermal properties, a pump is required that can provide a normal pumping speed and maintain normal operating efficiency.
In addition, glycol-based mixtures can break down into individual elements with increasing temperature. Therefore, it is important to check the internal parts of the pump from time to time for corrosion, which can only occur from the breakdown of glycol. Such prevention will allow you to maximize the operation of the system, as well as reduce the cost of network maintenance.
In cases where the ethylene glycol pump will be used in closed rooms, another seal and a tank for shut-off fluid are additionally mounted on it. This is again due to the chemical properties of the solution and its harmful effects on humans. This approach allows you to completely eliminate the possibility of leaks.
The pump can also be used to pump gasoline, alcohol or diesel fuel, as it is sufficiently protected from explosions and can handle dangerous liquids.
