Condensate pump at the outlet of stage 1 of the compressor
Thread Content
What type of pump is used for the condensate pump at the outlet of the compressor section in everyone’s system? How is it arranged? Are there any requirements?
Our pumps are multi-stage centrifugal pumps, located below the intermediate condensate tank
Ours is a canned pump, located next to the gas station.
Oh, thank you. I’ve never used a shielded pump before; I use centrifugal pumps instead. Are they vertical or horizontal?
This type of pump is usually horizontal; vertical versions are quite rare
Actually, it doesn’t matter whether it is vertical or horizontal; the key is whether the performance of the pump can meet the requirements of the process. Additionally, since the medium pumped by these pumps is relatively light, it is advisable to use positive-displacement pumps, as otherwise the pump won’t be able to handle large flow rates!
