Disc Pumps Built to API-610
|
Products advantages Discflo has designed a line of pumps to comply with the latest edition of API-610 for high temperature and high pressure applications in the oil, petrochemical and chemical industries. They are designed for processes up to 1000º F, and allowable working pressures to 1480 psi. Flow ranges to 8000 GPM can be accommodated, with heads up to 1200 ft.

|
n Our record of success in the highly competitive pump market is a result of breakthrough, state of the art pump technology and a commitment to provide the most efficiency and economical solutions to the toughest pumping problems. |
|
|
n No close tolerance-The Disc pump in not a centrifugal pump, positive displacement, gear, or lobe pump. Unique design is capable of outperforming all of them in many application. |
|
|
n No radial Loads-The Disc pump uses a new and patented technology that isn’t available in any other pump. The technology of the Disc pump harnesses the natural power of boundary layer and viscous drag. |
|
|
n No impingement-Boundary layer-a boundary layer of fluid molecules collects, and rotates with discs. This creates a natural, protective buffer that separates the pump from fluids, |
|
|
n No Pulsating-Viscous Drag Through viscous drag, the fluid is pulled through the pump without impingement. The boundary layer attracts and drag successive layers of fluid molecules into layered flows of parallel streams. This is the simple principle of viscous drag and in the Disc pump it is a powerful dynamic force that “pulls “the fluid through the pump in a smooth laminar, Non-turbulent flow. n Less Wear-No pump Vibration Smooth flow through the pump saves wear and tear on the entire pump system. It also eliminates pump vibration and excessive noise. n Low NPSH Requirements Laminar flow means low NSPH. It prevents reduction in head and capacity and further reduces noise and vibration. The NPSH is about half to one-third of a centrifugal pump in the same service conditions. n Little maintenance required-The pump wears so slowly that spare parts and maintenance requirements are reduced dramatically, over 90% in many applications. n Few spare parts-The Disc pump comes with no recommended spare parts list, simply because it rarely needs them. n Little or No downtime-Regularly scheduled maintenance for normal bearing lubrication and seal flush is generally all that’s needed to keep the pump operating. n Solve the hard to pump problems-Protecting the Shear-sensitive and delicate solids. n Heavy Duty Shaft-Near zero Radial and Axial loads. There is less than 0.002-inch shaft deflection under the full-load, full-speed pumping. The bearing is a Disc pump will last in excess of 80,000hours with proper lubrication. |
