Most chemical fluids in chemical industry processes are acids, alkalis, or flammable or explosive fluids. Therefore, special attention must be paid to transporting hazardous fluids on chemical factory manufacturing equipment. Correct mechanical equipment should be used to ensure a safe operating environment and High-efficiency production process, so chemical pumps can be said to be one of the indispensable equipment in chemical process production.
Main Types of Pumps Used in the Chemical Industry:
1. Centrifugal pump: Centrifugal pump is the most common type of pump in the chemical industry. It relies on the centrifugal force generated when the impeller rotates to introduce the liquid into the center of the impeller, and then throws it out from the impeller along the circumference to transport the fluid. The friction loss is small so it can achieve high efficiency, and the structure is simple so it is easy to operate and maintain. The operating cost is usually more economical than other types of pumps. Centrifugal pumps are suitable for most low viscosity fluid applications.
2. Positive displacement pump: It pumps a fixed volume of flow every time it is activated, so it is also called a "positive displacement pump," which also means that the flow rate generated per revolution can be calculated with high precision. According to the operating principle, they can be roughly divided into reciprocating piston pumps and rotary gear pumps. Both rely on vacuum suction to suck fluid into a cylinder or pressure chamber from a low-pressure location, and then use the piston or gear to apply pressure to the fluid to make it flow to a high-pressure location. Positive displacement pumps can handle high viscosity fluids more efficiently than centrifugal pumps. However, due to its internal design, flow is limited and maintenance is difficult.
3. Diaphragm pump: Diaphragm pump is also a positive displacement pump. The diaphragm is equivalent to the heart of the pump. The connecting rod drives the diaphragm back and forth to generate pressure to squeeze and transport fluid. Since the diaphragm can be regarded as a direct sealing element, oil seal lubrication is not required. Because of its good sealing properties, it is suitable for transporting various acid-base and high-viscosity liquids containing suspended impurities.
4. Turbo Pump: A turbo pump is a centrifugal pump that has a turbine-like impeller with radial teeth to transport liquids. Turbine pumps combine the broad applicability of centrifugal pumps with the high discharge pressures of positive displacement pumps. Often used in high-lift, low-flow applications, turbine pumps are not suitable for transporting liquids containing impurities.
The chemical industry is undoubtedly the industry that relies most on pumps, and the corrosiveness of acids and alkalis is the main problem for chemicals. Therefore, choosing a reliable pump is crucial to ensuring the safety of the process and operators. It is necessary to choose a pump that can be used for chemical media.
