    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.
