When selecting a water pump for a boiler, the following factors need to be considered: 1. The steam generation pressure of the boiler. 2. The height difference between the steam outlet of the drum and the pump outlet. 3. The steam generation rate of the drum. 4. Requirements for control
If 6 kilograms of steam are produced per hour, there really aren’t such small centrifugal pumps. Plunger pumps, gear pumps may be this small.
For steam boilers: Pump flow rate = Evaporation rate * 1.2; Pump head = Rated steam pressure * 1.1
