    Positive displacement pumps in series

    @ Mike, Yes that would work but unfortunately it would have other ramifications for our heat exchangers. The heat exchangers need to be in series to achieve the desired cooling AND desired delta T of the coolant. Our coolant is city water and we reclaim the heat and water into our domestic...

    Positive displacement pumps in series

    @George Currently we are using a single pump. It's a Sine pump, next gen. Certa 400 series. Sine pumps are also supposed to be ultra low shear. The pump can provide up to 200psi and 3 times our highest required flow. It was oversized so that the nominal flow would require a low pump RPM (about...

    Positive displacement pumps in series

    Hi LittleInch, Ya that's pretty much exactly what you said in the first place without so many words :) 50psi into second pump suction and 50psi out means zero differential and zero flow. All TDH would be transferred to the first pump.

    Positive displacement pumps in series

    @littleinch Thank you for your reply. I understand the master slave scenario. I agree the PID control could be very difficult. Start up would be difficult. I don't have dedicated operators so looking for something dummy friendly. The system is cleaned every night and starts empty the next...

    Positive displacement pumps in series

    Hello all, There is not a lot of information on this subject so i've decided to try this route to see if any one might have some experience with this. I'm in the frozen entree manufacturing business and the specific application is to pump sauces through heat exchangers to the point of meal...
