What is Process Pump?
What is a Process Pump? Process Pumps are used to move fluid in an industrial process. Process Pumps can be any variety of pump types depending on the application. They can be either heavy-duty centrifugal pumps used to pump corrosive or abrasive fluids. Or, they can also be positive displacement pumps. Two of…
Types of Compressor:
Types of Compressors: A) Positive Displacement Compressors A positive displacement compressor is a system that compresses the air by the displacement of a mechanical linkage reducing the volume (since the reduction in volume due to a piston in thermodynamics is considered as positive displacement of the piston). Put another way, a positive displacement compressor is…
What is Compressor?
A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor. Many compressors can be staged, that is, the gas is compressed several times in steps or stages, to increase discharge pressure. Often, the second stage is physically smaller…
Types of Process Pump:
Types of Process Pumps? Process pumps are a broad category of pumps used in many different industries to move fluids and semi-solids from point A to point B. Applications for these pumps include moving water, chemicals, mud, or other substances. The process pump is a centrifugal pump which is used in chemical processes, e.g….
Definitions:
Definitions: Absolute Pressure: The pressure regarding absolute Zero, is about an absolute Vacuum; it equals the sum of the Atmospheric Pressure and the Gauge Pressure. (BS 5791-1) Absolute Temperature: The temperature measured from absolute zero. After Cooling: The removal of heat from the air after compression is complete. Ambient Temperature: The temperature of the…
