What kind of pump is better for this?
Thread Content
Our factory has a liquid collection tank containing tower top oil, which has a low density; the liquid is drained every 3 to 4 hours. Previously, small gear pumps were used, but due to the properties of this medium, the pumps suffered severe wear. We are now planning to replace them, but we’re not sure which model would be suitable. We would appreciate it if you could help us by suggesting some options. Thank you:handshake !
Corrosion-resistant centrifugal pump, small size! ! :handshake
The oil at the top of the tower is light, and it tends to leak easily using ordinary centrifugal pumps; therefore, positive displacement pumps should be given priority.
Which specific model should be chosen? How about piston pumps?
The original poster uses intermittent feeding; can a storage tank plus compressed air be used for delivery?
If it is gasoline, the use of compressed air is not allowed. If it’s not too light, use a plunger pump; for our factory’s medium, with a density of 0.75, this is the appropriate choice. Estimate the fluid flow rate; choose a value that is higher than the maximum flow rate. This post was last edited by youyoudddd on 2009-3-22 20:55]
For high toxicity, magnetic pumps and shielded pumps can be used； If there is no toxicity, a Y-type centrifugal oil pump can be used.
In your case, I think it is feasible to use a plunger pump; when it comes to air propulsion, be cautious as the addition of air can result in explosive mixtures!
The medium density produced by our factory is 0.64. We use shielded pumps, and the liquid is discharged intermittently, once every 6 hours
I think it is more appropriate to use fluoropolymer magnetic pumps; one reason is to prevent wear, and the other is to prevent leaks.
Original poster, what is the cause of severe wear on the pump due to the medium?
I think using a magnetic pump is a viable option. The reason is that gear oil pumps are generally used for media with higher viscosity, while centrifugal pumps require consideration of leakage and safety issues. Shielded pumps are typically used for toxic media, and their cooling mechanism depends on the presence of such media. The user mentioned intermittent use; if problems are not detected in time, the pump can be damaged once the medium is exhausted. Therefore, a magnetic pump is the best choice
I think you can use a centrifugal oil pump!
It is because the medium density is low, resulting in poor lubrication between the gears, which causes severe gear wear!
Can a diaphragm pump be used then? It can save energy and is safe. How?

Diaphragm pump is good: victory:
A diaphragm metering pump is preferable; a magnetic pump can also be considered
