Pumps used to transfer, circulate, or filter liquids from one place to another vary according to their areas of use. Pump types differ not only based on their models but also according to the type of liquid or fluid to be transferred. For example, a magnetic coupling pump is designed to pump toxic or other hazardous liquids without using a mechanical seal, whereas submersible pumps are capable of operating while submerged in water. Pumps vary depending on their usage area and the type of liquid being transported. Their basic working principles also change according to the pump type.
Definition of Centrifugal Hot Oil Pump
These types of pumps, also referred to as hot oil pumps, thermal oil pumps, or molten oil pumps, are pump types resistant to high temperatures. They are generally used to pump heat transfer oils and low-viscosity industrial oils that do not contain abrasive particles. Centrifugal hot oil pumps are used in hot oil circulation systems, industrial facilities, and for transferring low-viscosity industrial oils without abrasive particles. The areas of use for centrifugal hot oil pumps can be summarized as follows:
- Transferring low-viscosity oils
- Hot fluid pumps in heat transfer processes
- Drying processes in the chemical, plastic, paper, textile, and leather industries
- Pumping processes of molten oils
KYP Series Centrifugal Oil Pumps General Features
KYP series centrifugal oil pumps are single-stage and end-suction centrifugal pump types. The main pump dimensions comply with DIN 24256 standards and are ISO 2858 certified. A single-entry, closed-type impeller is used. Radial blades are located behind the impellers to reduce the pressure on the mechanical seal and balance axial force. The pump and motor are mounted on a common base via a flexible coupling. Maintenance of the pump is very easy and does not require additional repair or servicing. The shaft and other rotating parts can be removed easily without touching the suction and discharge piping. Since the number of common parts is maximized, spare parts are readily available and easy to stock. Its design eliminates the need for external cooling, as the pump temperature naturally dissipates from the body to the bearing housing.
