Chemical pumps move fluids in a variety of ways depending on the type of pump and they are more durable than conventional pumps.
Types of Chemical Pump
- Centrifugal Pump
- Metering Pump
- Positive Displacement Pump
Features of Chemical Pump
- Power sources for chemical pumps include AC or DC voltage, hydraulic or pneumatic systems, steam, water, gasoline or diesel engines, and natural gas.
- Chemical pumps vary according to maximum discharge pressure, inlet size, discharge size, and media temperature.
- In centrifugal chemical pump, the velocity of the liquid being pumped is converted into pressure. These kind of chemical pumps are used to move fluids with a water-like viscosity or when flow quantities are large in comparison to pressure requirements.
- Metering chemical pumps are used to pump a wider range of chemicals and feature a high level of repetitive accuracy. Capacity can be adjusted either automatically or manually.
- Positive displacement chemical pumps include a single diaphragm and chamber, as well as suction and discharge check valves to prevent back flow.
- Chemical pumps are used in heating, venting, and air conditioning.
Applications of Chemical Pump:
Chemical pumps are used in a wide variety of industries and applications. They are as follows:
- Power Generation
- Oil and Gas Production
- Flood Control
- Mining
- Automotive
- Food Processing
- Machine Tool Applications
- Pulp and Paper Industry
- Semiconductors
