Selection of liquid ammonia transfer pumps

2009-08-27View Original

Thread Content

Can a gear pump be used as a liquid ammonia transfer pump? As far as I know, gear pumps are generally used for transporting media with high viscosity. However, the design team has proposed using gear pumps in our plant to transport liquid ammonia – I’m not sure if that’s feasible 、

We need to check the viscosity of liquid ammonia

Screw pumps are generally used for transportation!

It should be at the ammonia chiller! It’s in the small storage tank behind the inlet separation tanks in sections 1 and 2, right? It’s basically not used there; a rotary pump is what’s used there instead. Since positive displacement pumps are not affected by the state of matter, centrifugal pumps are not.

What is a rotary pump? What are the features, and in what situations is it suitable?/

We are also in the process of selecting a model; our plan is to use a plunger pump

We have both centrifugal pumps and piston pumps here, which are used for transporting liquid ammonia
