There are a varied number of ways by which fluids can be transmitted. High pressure process pumps work by a simple principle where the fluid is entrapped within a given volume or cylinder to build the pressure before it is released through a conduit pipe. Their preference stems from their ability to operate under high pressures without affecting the quantity of fluid transmitted. Three classifications based on the mechanism of transmission are the reciprocating, rotary and linear pumps.
Rotary drives are applied when the fluid to be transmitted has a high viscosity. They are not designed to run dry for long periods of time. This means that fluids such as water cannot be moved efficiently by this pump. They can however be used to pump large quantities of air and vapor but for only short periods of time. Usage is common place in machinery where they circulate lube oils through engines and turbines.
If you are in search of a drive that can transmit abrasive fluids and still maintain its ability to move viscous fluids, then the reciprocating drives would be a much better pick. They operate by moving a plunger back and forth in a cylinder with a predetermined volume. They are very efficient but tend to be slower. They are applied when low volume fluids are moved at high strain levels.
Linear or rope drives can be sited as being the most simplistic in design due to the ease of availability of its component materials. A working linear pump can be made from a PVC pipe, a rope and a wheel. This has made it very popular around the world. The most widespread application can be seen as pumping water from a bore hole.
Deriving the full potential of the constant volume drives can only be achieved when the installation is done through an elaborate means of predetermined steps. These steps are usually clearly outlined in the user manual. Every manufacturer goes out of their way to ensure proper installation is done as long as the instructions are followed.
A most basic approach would be to ensure that a solid foundation on which the pump would rest on is built. The best foundation is usually reinforced concrete. The weight will determine the strength of the foundation. The pump and the driver are bolted to the concrete slab via a secured steel base plate. This and a proper application of the user manual is all that is needed for installation.
When choosing a suitable pump, two factors have to be put into consideration. These are viscosity of the fluid and the pressure required. Variations in viscosity such as highly, slightly or even modest viscosity can have dramatically huge effects on the rate of flow and efficiency of the pump.
Fluctuations in pressure levels also greatly affect the efficiency and rate of flow. The best choice therefore would be one that keeps a constant rate of flow whilst maintaining efficiency even with ever changing pressure levels. Pressure pumps are therefore ideal due to their ability to address these two concerns.
