Pump selection
Thread Content
Our unit wants to use secondary steam to heat water, but we’re not sure which type of pump to choose; we’re also unsure whether a water-jet vacuum pump system would work
Aren’t you trying to perform heat exchange? Wouldn’t that mean the entire heat exchanger is what’s needed?
Not quite sure? What is the pressure and flow rate of the secondary steam? What is the temperature of the water after heating? Is the steam condensate not recycled?
The water is heated to 95 degrees Celsius; the steam flow rate is 1 ton per hour, and the pressure of the secondary steam is 1.5 Kgf/cm2. 3# hcwang12345
In centrifugal pumps, cavitation easily occurs when the water temperature is above 70 degrees
I don’t understand what that means. Why add a pump? Is it to transport steam or heated water? The pressure of the secondary steam is a bit high; you could add a coil or simply introduce it directly
