PT100 Temperature Sensor

The PT100 Thermocouple temperature sensor is an efficient way to monitor any temperature increases of process liquids.  A resistant thermometer, the PT100 Thermocouple can be used in a wide variety of chemical and industrial applications.

When the temperature of a process fluid increases, it can indicate problems within the process such as operating against a closed valve, and give you advance warning.

Using the PT100 thermocouple temperature sensor means you can measure the temperature directly from the area of the Isolation shell.  They are only recommended for use on metallic pumps as the thermal conductivity of non-metallic materials is poor and so ineffective. It’s worth noting that the output from the PT100 temperature sensor can be both analogue or 4-20mA.

Description

The PT100 Thermocouple is a resistant thermometer used in a wide variety of chemical and industrial applications.

Standard temperature limits range from -40°c to +600°c but can be increased on request.

Digital Load Monitor

Monitor the load on your pumps with the Digital Load Monitor.

A cost-effective solution, the power monitor is an intelligent control unit that protects your pumps against dry running, end-of-curve operation, and operating against a closed valve and ensures that your pump and motors are always running at their optimal levels.  The Digital Load Monitor provides you with a real power measurement for 3-phase AC motors and displays the motor power consumption as a percentage of a selected power range.

Featuring:

  • Programmable maximum and minimum limits
  • Start and reaction timer
  • Display and programming limits show kW as a percentage %
  • Internal current converter up to 8Aac
  • External current converter N/1 or N/5
  • Programmable hysteresis band 2-50%
  • Built-in peak detection

The alarm functions activate a single alarm relay which may be used to control the motor being monitored; i.e. to trip a shut-down in the event of either a high or low power alarm.

Description

We are often asked for our recommendation as to the best way to protect pumps against adverse operating conditions: Our recommendation has always been ‘true power’ monitoring (kW). As pump flows change due to demand, tank levels, blocked filters, dry running, etc, then the pump power requirements rise or fall accordingly. True power monitoring allows us to set upper and lower trip points to ensure that the pumps never run dry or operate at a bad operational point thus avoiding poor operating points. Being a power monitor, it is also an instant reaction to a variation in duty and can be set to operate before adverse conditions physically occur. You will be amazed at how successful these units really are.

The digital load monitor is the fastest and most accurate system to protect your pump from the following:

  • Dry running
  • End-of-curve operation
  • Close valve operation

This device measures the true power consumption of 3-phase AC motors and displays consumption as a percentage of a selected power range. The display shows power in units of %kW which represent the percentage of the full load power range for the unit.

As operating conditions on a pump curve change due to dry running, blocked discharge line, closed valves, empty supply tanks, etc, the power monitor automatically trips the motor before mechanical damage and failure to the pump occurs. This is proven technology that eliminates pump failure.

The Control functions of a Digital Load Monitor

Control functions comprise two independent and programmable trip functions:

  • Low Power Alarm – for example, to stop a pump in the event of dry-running, and
  • High Power Alarm – for example, to stop a feeder when blocked.

The alarm functions activate a single alarm relay which may be used to control the motor being monitored; i.e. to trip a shut-down in the event of either a high or low power alarm.

The Digital Load Monitor is a power monitor that can be configured to monitor any size motor either with the internal current transformer for applications up to 8A or with an external CT for applications above 8A.

The power monitor provides consistent sensitivity across the complete motor load range making it ideal for low trip applications where amp meters are ineffective. In addition, the measurement principle allows it to be used on non-sine shaped loads such as Variable Frequency Drives.

Vacuum Pumps

Available as single stage or two-stage, vacuum pumps can handle high volumes of vapours, condensable gases and liquids and when clean water is used as the service liquid, the aspirated air is ‘washed’ meaning it is free from contaminates such as oil, carbon or plastics.
Manufactured to ISO 9001, liquid ring vacuum pumps have been designed and manufactured with simplicity in mind – fewer components make for easier maintenance. Single mechanical seals are available as standard with the option to upgrade to double if required. With minimal moving parts, there is no metal-to-metal contact which significantly reduces vibration, noise and wear & tear.

Why Choose a Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump?

Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps are rotating pumps and use a service liquid to create the vacuum.  Pumps are capable of handling high vapour loads and aggressive fluids meaning you can choose the right service liquid for your application.

Description

With the experience gained over decades of research, investments, and sound mechanical know-how,  our Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps have become synonymous with high-quality, highly-efficiency, solidly built, and extreme reliability.

Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps are capable of handling high volumes of vapours, condensable gases, and liquids without detrimental consequences to their performance or mechanical reliability.  Pump service liquid can be water or other liquids such as oils, solvents etc to satisfy almost any process requirements.  Pumps are available in single-stage and two-stage liquid ring units.

It's worth noting, that with clean water as the pump service liquid, the aspirated air (or gas) is ‘washed clean’ within the pump and as a result, the discharged air is free of any oils, carbon, or plastic particles.

Unlock the Potential of Pump Technology in Wood Preservation

0
0

When it comes to wood preservation, utilising the latest pump technology can truly unlock the hidden potential of your timber. Enhancing the strength and beauty of your wood is essential for ensuring its longevity and aesthetic appeal. Through innovative pumping systems, you can effectively treat and protect your timber against damaging elements such as rot, pests, and decay, extend the lifespan of your wood, enhance its structural integrity, and preserve its natural beauty.

Understanding the Importance of Wood Preservation

Wood is a versatile and renewable material and preservation includes the process of treating wood to enhance its durability and resistance to these threats. By preserving wood, you can significantly extend its lifespan and reduce the need for frequent replacements, saving both time and money in the long run.

The application known as tanalising, pressure treatment or tanalisation, is a process in which wood is treated with a wood preservative called Tanalith E. The treatment involves placing the wood in a vacuum-sealed tank and applying pressure to force the preservative deep into the wood. This ensures that the chemicals absorb thoroughly into the wood, making it highly resistant to rot, mould, fungi, insects, and extreme weather conditions. Tanalised timber has a long lifespan and can last around 30 years without additional treatment and is safe for use around children and pets and is a durable and versatile wood option.

The Role of Pumps in Tanalising

In the tanilising industry, there are two common methods: dipping and high-pressure treatment. Dipping provides limited durability, while high-pressure treatment offers better long-term results.
Using the high-pressure method, wood is loaded into a pressure container, and put under an initial vacuum by one of our liquid ring vacuum pumps, to make sure that wood cells are evacuated of air and then filled with a treatment chemical (such as Tanalith E). The vessel is then pressurised (by use of one of our vertical multi-stage centrifugal pumps) to ensure the chemical reaches deep within the grain of the wood.

Liquid Ring Vacuum pumps are particularly suitable for treating porous woods or materials with irregular shapes. The vacuum pressure ensures that the preservatives reach deep into the wood, eliminating air pockets and maximizing treatment effectiveness.

Utilising pumps means that a thorough process makes sure that the wood is properly treated and ready for its final destination by removing excess chemicals through a second vacuum stage and allowing the wood to dry to ensure that the timber is prepared for its intended use. We like to think that this attention to detail and commitment to quality sets CDR Pumps apart in the wood preservation industry.

Unlock the potential of pump technology in wood preservation and take your timber projects to new heights. By embracing innovative pumping systems, you can safeguard your wood against the damaging effects of rot, pests, and decay, enhancing its structural integrity and preserving its natural beauty for years to come.

Upgrading Pump Technology for Enhanced Safety and Performance

0
0

In the fast-paced manufacturing world, finding efficient solutions to equipment challenges is crucial, and sometimes upgrading pump technology is the best solution. We recently encountered a new customer facing a dilemma with their ageing mechanical seal pump used for handling solvents in their production process. Their existing pump had become obsolete and there were no longer any spare parts available – they had already had an unsuccessful repair attempt with another company, which left them in a bit of a tough spot.

A long-established paint manufacturer here in the UK, over the years, they have become a prominent player in the industry. They are known for offering innovative and compliant paints and coatings to a wide variety of markets.  Their diverse product portfolio includes wet paint, aerosols, and specialist coatings and supplies a range of industries including commercial transport, OEMs, bus & coach manufacturers, civil engineering & construction companies, the model & hobby trade, and specialist automotive finishes.

Out with the Old, In with the New

To get started, we visited the customer’s manufacturing facility so that we could talk to the team and gather all the essential information so that we could propose a solution that would not only address their current concerns but also improve the overall efficiency and safety of their operations.

One of the things we quickly identified was the benefit of replacing their old mechanically sealed centrifugal pump with a seal-less magnetically driven centrifugal pump. The advantages of swapping to a mag drive pump were huge, namely the fact that these pumps are designed not to leak any vapours into the atmosphere and actively prevent any potential harm to the environment and the team on the ground.

Power Monitor for Enhanced Pump Protection

As this particular customer had been subject to a mag drive pump being run dry in the past, they were understandably wary so we recommended integrating a power monitor to help protect the pump from these kinds of problems in the future. Power monitors can detect dry run situations and automatically shut the pump down to prevent damage which means our customer could enjoy improved safety and experience better pump performance and longevity.

Immediate Stock Availability

This time taken to identify the problem in the first place and the failed repair meant that there was now a greater sense of urgency.   Our team was well-prepared, and we were delighted to offer an ATEX-certified pump from our stock, which made sure production could continue without unnecessary delays. We delivered the new pump on the very next day.

A Resounding Success

Since the installation of the mag drive pump and power monitor, the pump has been operating seamlessly, without any issues. The customer is really happy with the performance and reliability of the new setup and is now considering replacing more of their single mechanical seal pumps with mag drive pumps.

At CDR Pumps, our mission is to provide reliable, efficient and long-lasting solutions tailored to the unique needs of our customers. In this particular case, we addressed the challenge posed by an obsolete mechanical seal pump by introducing a new mag drive pump with a power monitor. The resulting pump system offered not only increased efficiency and performance but also a safer and more environmentally friendly work environment.

As we continue to work closely with our customers to understand their specific requirements, we look forward to providing more innovative solutions that drive progress and elevate the standards of industrial equipment performance and safety.

Capture Carbon with the Side-Channel Pump

Capture Carbon being speeled in blocks

CO2 capture and storage, commonly known as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), is a technology used to reduce the release of greenhouse gases and also reduce the carbon footprints of a variety of different industries. The process involves capturing CO2 from the emissions generated by industrial processes and power plants and storing it in geological formations. In 2024, builders depend on Side-Channel Pumps to meet the specific requirements of constructing CCS plants. These requirements include low NPSH values, high delivery heads, the ability to withstand extremely low temperatures (down to -60°C), and the capability to handle two-phase flows with up to 50% gas content without damage. Side-Channel Pumps have been chosen due to their reliability in meeting such demanding criteria.

Capturing and storing CO2 is crucial in the decarbonisation of industrial processes. Currently, CCS plants are mainly being constructed in sectors where significant amounts of greenhouse gas are produced, such as power plants that utilise fossil fuels, the chemical industry, oil and gas refineries, the cement industry, iron and steel mills, and the maritime industries.  By capturing and storing CO2 in their applications, it is also possible to generate environmentally friendly energy, such as the production of blue hydrogen or the supply of liquefied CO2 for heating purposes, process engineering, or the shipping industry thereby reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability.

Why Side-Channel Pumps?

When using Side-Channel Pumps in your carbon-capturing process, CO2 is captured, and then it goes through a compression stage where it is subjected to high pressure so that it can be transported as a liquid to its destination for use or storage.   The biggest benefit of Side-Channel Pumps is that they meet the technical requirements required, but they can also be used in varying stages of the process from carbon-capturing, through to transportation, and on to its final destination whether that be recycled for use in other applications or solid form and returned to depleted oil fields.

Side-Channel Pumps have been manufactured to withstand challenging process conditions. These pumps are specifically designed to handle high pressures, reaching up to 100 bar. These pumps are also capable of operating within a wide temperature range, spanning from -60 °C to +220 °C. This versatility allows for the reliable transportation of low-temperature fluids like CO2 and ammonia, which transition from a gaseous to a liquid state at temperatures around -57 °C and -33 °C respectively.

Image of a side channel pump by CDR Pumps

The design of Side-Channel Pumps incorporates various features to accommodate these demanding conditions:

  • Spring assemblies compensate for thermal expansion and contraction of the hydraulics.
  • Elongated inserts prevent temperature-induced stresses in the pump body.
  • The bearings have been optimized to ensure a precise fit
  • Special thrust washers minimise the effects of wear and tear to improve operational reliability.

Another advantage of Side-Channel Pumps is their ability to perform even when gasses are present in the fluid. When pressurisation changes and the temperature increases, substances like liquid carbon dioxide and ammonia tend to transition into a gaseous state; Side-Channel Pumps have consistently proven to be reliable over extended periods of time - even with two-phase flows with up to 50% gas content - mitigating concerns related to vapour formation and the potential impact on delivery.

The Contribution of Side-Channel Pumps to Carbon-Neutral Processes

The first CCS plant projects are now underway using Side-Channel Pumps showing us that they are a valuable asset in carbon capture and storage and have been instrumental in reducing carbon dioxide emissions and promoting sustainability.

Ready to make a change?

By harnessing the power of Side-Channel Pumps, we can actively contribute to a greener future and combat the challenges posed by climate change.
