We understand the critical role that pumping systems play in industrial applications, especially when handling challenging fluids like liquid ammonia. With over 50 years of experience in the industry, we are experts in the design and procurement of top-quality pump solutions.
Overview of Liquid Ammonia Pumps
Liquid ammonia pumps are essential in many refrigeration systems and chemical processing plants. These pumps handle ammonia in its liquid state, requiring precision and reliability due to ammonia’s high vapor pressure and corrosive nature. Viking liquid ammonia pumps stand out for their efficiency and durability. Nonetheless, we offer mulitple product lines from various manufacturers that all work to excel within the desired application or system. These pumps are pivotal in applications ranging from agriculture to pharmaceuticals, ensuring operational continuity and safety.
Key Features of Ammonia Liquid Pumps
Another key point when it comes to ammonia liquid pumps, are the several features that must be considered when selecting the right piece of equipment for your application. High vapor pressure handling capabilities, robust stainless steel construction, and innovative pumping designs are paramount. Occasionally, technologies like centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumping, including rotary vane and internal gear pumps, are employed. These features ensure that the pumps can handle the demanding conditions of ammonia transfer while maintaining efficiency and longevity.
Here several features that are non-negotiable when it comes to selecting an ammonial liquid application pump:
High Vapor Pressure Handling: These pumps must manage the high vapor pressure of liquid ammonia effectively to prevent leaks and ensure safe operation.
Robust Construction: Ammonia pumps are typically made from stainless steel to withstand the corrosive nature of ammonia and ensure longevity.
Innovative Pumping Designs: Technologies like centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps, including rotary vane and internal gear pumps, are commonly employed. These designs ensure efficiency and reliability under demanding conditions.
Choosing the Right Pump for Liquid Ammonia
Liquid ammonia pump selection can be challenging. Selecting the appropriate ammonia liquid pump requires careful consideration of several factors. The flow rate, type of pump, and specific application needs are critical in this decision-making process.
Flow Rate: The required flow rate for the application will determine the size and type of pump needed.
Pump Type: Different applications may require centrifugal, rotary vane, or internal gear pumps based on specific needs and operational conditions.
Application Needs: Consider the specific demands of your application, including environmental factors and operational pressures.
