By circulating water, I mean circulating cooling water. The technical term for this is recirculating water. Of course, that’s another matter if the original poster isn’t referring to circulating cooling water. This post was last edited by niuky on 2009-2-16 18:53]
"“recycle water pump” – seen in foreign articles
Following Echo’s suggestion, I checked the \"English-Chinese Illustrated Glossary of Petrochemical Engineering\", which translates \"cooling water pump\" as both \"circulating water pump\" and \"cooling water pump\". With the explanations from friends such as RainWolf and Niuky, I believe that using \"circulating water pump\" as the translation for \"cooling water pump\" is a reliable option! Many thanks to all of you!:handshake Adele Last edited by yinni on 2009-2-19 09:53 ]
In fact, some cooling water is not recycled; for example, one-through cooling water, which is a type of direct-flow cooling water that is discharged directly after it has been used for cooling
Yes, it is usually used when the cooling water in an air-cooled cycle cannot provide a low enough temperature. So, strictly speaking, in most petrochemical and chemical plants, circulating water is typically used as cooling water. This statement does not hold true on a larger scale or in special circumstances.
Translation of “circular water pump” from Chinese to English. My opinion: If it can be confirmed that this \"circulating water\" is used for \"cooling\", then the \"circulating water pump\" can be translated as cooling water pump. If its purpose is not certain, it is safer to use the term circulating water pump (this is indeed the translation used in the standard terminology for centrifugal pumps). The same term has different names depending on the factory, process, or environment. For something like the gear pump in PE equipment, it is called a “gear pump” based on its structural design, and it is called a “melting pump” depending on its purpose; the designation depends on the specific circumstances, and sometimes it is whatever the end user calls it.
Cooling water pump can simply be referred to as a cooling water pump, while recycled cooling water pump is a pump for circulating cooled water
Please confirm whether this is circulating water Since \"recycle\" generally denotes the concept of recovery or recycling, it is suspected that \"recycle water\" refers to reclaimed water rather than recycled water. Additionally, circulation pumps are also commonly referred to as \"recirculating pumps\", and the fluid in such pumps is usually water – whether it is seawater, tap water, etc.; therefore, it is common to omit the word \"water\" as well: lol
The cooling water pump is a circulation water pump; so how should “frozen water pump” be translated? There are also the \"hot water pump\" and \"cold water pump\" in the circulating water system. This post was last edited by sister on 2009-2-19 at 22:03.]
It can be referred to as a refrigeration water pump, hot water, cold water, or similar terms.
Chiller water pump: chiller water pump
chill (chilled, chilling) – that’s how we used to refer to direct cooling water. There are also those derived from the word \"quench,\" meaning rapid cooling (through direct contact) or something similar. Refrigeration usually refers to things related to refrigeration systems. In fact, at a later stage in learning English, one needs to be able to grasp the subtle differences in meaning behind multiple words that are roughly similar. There’s no other way; seeing more things is the only way to develop a sense for it.
Recirculating cooling water: that’s definitely fine
The term “water circulation pump” comes from a book translated by a professional; she has visited foreign sites numerous times to supervise installations and possesses decades of experience in this field.
Actually, all these terms are correct; for example, circulation (circulating) water pump, water circulation (circulating) pump, and water recycle (recycle) pump are all valid. Sometimes, the key lies in what is commonly used in practice on site. In factories, there are generally three types of circulating water: The first type is used for cooling. In modern large-scale factories, the cooling water operates in a basically closed system (with some fresh water needed to be added). Cooling towers and similar devices serve the sole purpose of cooling the used cooling water before it can be reused in the cooling processes. Category 2 is wastewater reuse. Wastewater; when it is treated and reused, it is called recycled (reused, recovered…) water. The third category refers to water recycling at the process level. It can be called recycled water (water recycle); the choice should be based on the actual conditions and usage on site. As for the water used for cooling, there are also many types: 1 is circulating water for heat exchange cooling; in Chinese it’s called cooling water, and this is the most common scenario. The water that returns after being cooled at a higher temperature is referred to as CW return or by other names. 2 is low-temperature water cooling (used in some cases, usually with fresh water whose temperature is lower than that of the cooling water). After use, it can be used as return cooling water, which means less fresh water needs to be added to the water cooling tower); I remember it was called chilling water back then. Water No. 3 is used for rapid cooling (in order to quickly terminate the reaction) and usually comes into direct contact with the process materials. Quech water No. 4 serves as a coolant in refrigeration systems, such as ice-based thermal storage systems; it can be referred to as refrigeration water, chilled water, or cold water – the term used varies depending on convention. There are various types of water in water treatment devices; therefore, water from different sources and at different temperatures has more specific names. If it’s not for translating content for your own device, the best approach is to ask someone who is knowledgeable in the manufacturing process. Last edited by RainWolf on 2009-2-21 10:18]
The analysis is already quite comprehensive. Our terminology in water treatment may differ from that used in the chemical industry. First of all, for circulating cooling water, we use the term “recirculating”; even in the design specifications, “circulating” is not used. Category 1 is used for cooling; in modern large-scale plants, the cooling water is typically in a closed loop (with some fresh water needed to be added). Cooling towers and similar devices serve the sole purpose of cooling the used cooling water before it is reused in the cooling process. In a circular sense, it can be referred to as a closed loop; strictly speaking, what you’re describing is actually an open recirculating cooling system, where the cooled water is cooled by exposure to air. This is the most common type of system, and unless otherwise specified, any cooling system is meant to be of this kind. During the water circulation process, there are losses due to evaporation, wind effects, leakage, and waste discharge, so it’s necessary to replenish water. The water cooling tower not only cools the returned water but also houses a chemical dosing system for controlling the quality of the cooling water. As opposed to the relatively open-type recirculating system, there is the closed recirculating system, in which the circulating water moves within a sealed system and is cooled by air; there is no waste discharge, but high requirements are placed on water quality control. It is used in situations where the amount of water is limited, such as in the cooling systems of internal combustion engines, or in special circumstances like areas suffering from severe water shortages. 2 refers to low-temperature water cooling (in some cases, it is fresh water, with a temperature lower than that of the cooling water). After use, it can be used as return cooling water, which means less fresh water needs to be added to the water cooling tower); I remember it was called chilling water back then. This type of cooling water is what we call one-through cooling water, a direct-flow cooling system; after heat exchange, it is discharged directly or used as supplementary water for circulating cooling. Due to its simplicity, it was commonly used in former chemical plants, resulting in significant waste of water resources; nowadays, it is mostly replaced by circulating cooling systems. 4 As a refrigerant in cooling systems, such as ice storage cooling systems, it can be referred to as refrigeration water, chilled water, or cold water. For such cooling systems, we use devices called chillers; cooling towers are no longer sufficient to meet the requirements for cooling the return water, and therefore chillers are needed for cooling. I’m not sure; I’m not familiar with it. At least that’s what I know from my professional experience and from the chemical companies I’ve worked with.

The recirculating water pump arrived late; this one should be here by now. It’s written upstairs.
