SPARES & ACCESSORIES
With a larger size and more complexity, side- channel pumps require more components to properly function. More components mean more wear parts, all of which are prone to eventual failure. When that happens, those parts must be replaced, adding to the pump’s maintenance and total ownership cost.
from a large footprint or a complex design. Instead, regenerative turbine pumps have a compact footprint and up to 25 components, making it easier for operators to maintain over time. Spending less time on maintenance and components saves time and money. Also, the less-complex design means operators don’t need a veteran engineer to maintain them, allowing any technically savvy associate with moderate experience to keep the technology running.
Compared with Other PD Pumps Sliding vane pumps also match up well with regenerative turbine pumps and even have some advantages. The primary advantage comes from the technology having a higher during priming.
Despite regenerative turbine pumps not sharing these traits, they have others that make Without as many moving parts as sliding vane pumps, regenerative turbine pumps can operate continuously without many drawbacks. Operators don’t have to worry about taking
wear parts on a frequent basis. Similar pump technologies have a variety of wear parts, each many moving parts, operators of regenerative turbine pumps spend less time shutting down the pump for scheduled maintenance and don’t have to stock as many components for eventual replacement. Regenerative turbine pumps have two components subject to wear – the mechanical seal and occasionally the impeller. During scheduled maintenance, operators don’t have to take them out of service. Regenerative turbine pumps have parts that can be replaced within an hour without removing the pump from the pipework or even disconnect the motor. Performance wise, regenerative turbine pumps can operate continuously without pulsation and cavitation. Without concern for
these detriments and the ability to continuously operate, engineers don’t have to worry about frequent stops.
required to transfer refrigerants. Regenerative turbine pumps, meanwhile, don’t struggle with
When it comes to challenging applications, such as processing or circulating refrigerants, operators have many pumping choices. But if they want a technology with versatility at its core, regenerative turbine pumps are their best option.
These pumps can handle a vast range of
liquids under varying conditions in multiple applications. The common deterrents – cavitation, vibration, entrained vapour – that challenge most pumping technologies don’t pumps. Operators can expect longevity from this technology, as well as long intervals between maintenance. The value of regenerative turbine pumps when handling refrigerants is clear. They have the versatility to process it optimally and
