Applications
PUMP PROTECTION
Protecting valuable pump equipment and ensuring they work at the highest efficiency, with the bare minimum of unplanned downtime is essential. Maric Flow Control Valves can help by ensuring there is an adequate “head” or discharge pressure on the pump, which can be pre-set to manufacturer’s design specifications to avoid cavitation or bearing damage. These brilliantly simple valves automatically deliver a fixed pre-set and constant flow of water, irrespective of pressure differentials between upstream and downstream within the range of 140-1000 kPa. Valves are customized to your flow rate
Beneficial applications for pump protection
- Reduces warranty claims for centrifugal pumps
As pumps are often damaged when a throttling gate-vale is unwittingly opened up, which creates too high flow rate.
- Limiting peak flow rates
Helps maintain adequate water is availabe at the suction and avoids flow rates that are too high to be efficient.
- Ensuring there is always head or discharge pressure on the pump
By pre-setting the flow to meet the manufacturer’s design specifications.
- Preventing unauthorised adjustments
Ensuring that the flow-rate can never exceed manufacturer’s intended rate.
- Constant flow of gland flushing water (packing or seal water)
Regardless of gland water pressure, slurry pump discharge pressure or condition of the gland.
- Extend gland life
Fixing flow-rates to maximise the life of the gland.
- Conserving water
Controlling flow to pump glands to reduce valuable packing water supplies.
- Limiting the dilution of slurry or product
By controlling the flow of water over the gland.
Benefits of Maric Flow Control valves
