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.
Test your knowledge on pumps used for pumping high temperature viscous fluids. Identify the suitable pumps for this application and discover the main advantage of using positive displacement pumps.
