Challenges of Low Viscosity Liquids
AxFlow provides a specialized array of pump types designed to handle low viscosity liquids, offering reliable solutions for diverse industrial applications. Unlike high viscosity fluids, the selection process for pumping low viscosity liquids is generally less complex. Centrifugal pumps, in particular, excel in handling low viscosity fluids due to their stable performance, which is not significantly affected by minor changes in viscosity. AxFlow offers a wide range of centrifugal pumps optimized for pumping low viscosity fluids.
Challenges and Solutions in Pumping Low Viscosity Liquids
-
Liquid Slippage: Low viscosity liquids can lead to liquid slippage within the pump, reducing efficiency. Choosing the right pump design, like centrifugal pumps with carefully engineered impellers, mitigates this issue, ensuring efficient fluid transfer.
-
Lubrication: Low viscosity fluids often lack natural lubrication, increasing wear and tear on pump components. Proper material selection and pump design, including features like self-lubricating bearings, minimize friction, extending pump longevity.
Examples of Low Viscosity Liquids
- Water
- Light oils
- Alcohols
- Acids and bases (dilute concentrations)
APPLICATIONS OF LOW VISCOSITY LIQUIDS
- Water Transfer: Centrifugal pumps efficiently handle water for various purposes, from irrigation to industrial cooling systems.
- Chemical Dosing: Low viscosity chemicals, such as acids and bases in diluted forms, require accurate dosing in chemical processing applications, ensuring precise mixing and reactions. Light
- Oil Handling: Industries like automotive and manufacturing rely on pumps to transfer light oils for lubrication and machining processes.
- Alcohol-Based Products: Pumps play a crucial role in handling low viscosity alcohols for applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and sanitization products.
