What type of liquefied gas unloading pump should be chosen? Which brand is better, one with better resistance to cavitation?
Thread Content
We are currently using slide vane pumps, which have a high failure rate.
Generally speaking, sliding vane pumps have decent cavitation resistance; the key factor is the durability of the vanes. If possible, it is advisable to choose imported sliding vane pumps, such as those from Blackmer or Corken. If better cavitation resistance is required, SIHI pumps can be considered.
Consider using small vertical reciprocating compressors for unloading as well.
Same opinion as the one on the 3rd floor~~~ Using a compressor to unload the vehicle is more reliable than using a pump; it’s best to use a compressor with a crosshead”~~~~
Using a shielded pump in combination with a piston compressor allows for faster unloading, while using only a centrifugal pump results in slower unloading.
