Enquiry
A UK oil manufacturer contacted us wanting a pump for transferring furnace oil from tanks to vehicles, which of course would be very high temperature. One of the main requirements of thisthermal oil pumpwas to be able to clear the lines and dry run for short periods of time. The customer had already received a quote from an alternative supplier, but the lead time for them to get a suitable products was 6-7 weeks, which the customer really wanted to avoid waiting for.
Key challenges:
- Capable of handling high temperature fluids
- 能夠在沒有損壞的情況下為短時間內幹燥
- Better the lead time of the competing quote
Solution
Given the high temperature, lubricating nature of furnace oil, we immediately knew ourvane pumpswould be an ideal solution, especially as they come with twin mechanical seals for added protection against high temperatures. The particular model of Bombas Trief vane pump we selected are also fitted as standard with duravanes, which automatically adjust clearances, whilst maintaining high levels of flow performance for a longer period of time compared to that of a standard vane.
To ensure that the pump would not sustain damage should the pump dry run as the customer needed it to, we specified it complete with a pressure relief valve.
As we could get the pump manufactured, ATEX approved for use in potentially flammable environments and delivered within 4 weeks of the order, the customer was extremely pleased to go ahead with our thermal oil pump offering.
