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.
Reciprocating drives on the other hand are considered more versatile due to their ability to move both viscous and abrasive fluids. Operation is by means of the back and forth action of a plunger usually within a fixed volume. They are generally slower than the other types but they however provide higher efficiency levels. Usage is highly based on situations that require high levels of strain but low volumes of the fluid.
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.
Installation is major factor in ensuring maximum utility of the pumps. Proper installation would usually imply that the pumps will be able to operate at their best. Every manufacturer has a mandate to ensure that proper guidelines are provided to aid in the installation process.
A solid foundation has to be built whether the instructions say so or not. This is the most fundamental part of the entire process. This foundation usually consists of a layer of reinforced concrete. The layer can be thick or thin depending on the weight. Both the driver and the pump are secured on a steel metal base that is laid on the concrete. Any further instructions are provided for in the user manual.
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.
