A regenerative turbine pump is a centrifugal pump used for pumping pure liquids. They are utilised where great delivery heads are needed with small volume flows. Moreover, they are capable of managing large proportions of gas without interrupting the liquid stream. Typically, regenerative turbine pumps have over twenty shovels that are arranged in the shape of a star on both sides of a support disc.
Some of the standout features of a regenerative turbine pump are:
• Exceptional delivery heads for small capacity
• Compact design
• Capable of handling high gas without interruption of the rate of flow
• Little axial thrust
• Low maintenance
• Stable production of microbubbles for taking care of liquid-gas mixtures
Advantages of a regenerative turbine pump
In the case of proportionate outgassing of the short-term or medium air entry, the peripheral pumps are capable of operating without the flow rate getting interrupted or tearing off. Additionally, extremely large gas proportions can be co-conveyed on a permanent basis. These pumps are particularly suitable for multi-phase applications with low volume flows.
Application range of regenerative turbine pumps
A regenerative turbine pump is made use of where great delivery heads with minimal capacities and pumps with small dimensions are needed. They are appropriate for non-abrasive, pure or polluted pumped liquids.
For instance, turbine pumps are used in car wash installations to enhance pressure in water networks or mechanical engineering for recirculation and cooling. These pumps are also used in the LPG industry and they are well-suited for agricultural ammonia and other liquefied gases as well. Also, they are utilised for the mixture and enrichment of liquids with gases.
So, if you are looking for a way to help with the transfer of LPG or autogas from underground or aboveground tanks or on tank trucks, you can consider regenerative turbine pumps.
