Study Notes
Pumps for High Temperature Viscous Fluids
- Positive displacement pumps are used for pumping high temperature viscous fluids.
- Centrifugal pumps are NOT suitable for pumping high temperature viscous fluids due to their design limitations and inability to handle high viscosity fluids at high temperatures.
- The main advantage of using positive displacement pumps for pumping high temperature viscous fluids is their ability to maintain a constant flow rate and pressure, regardless of changes in viscosity or temperature.
