German pump producer LEWA has expanded the take a look at range of its specifically developed container test bench to cope with hot or explosive fluids.
The check bench was initially launched in December 2018 but Lewa has thus far only used water as the conveyed medium for testing and verifying pump capabilities. Many of the fluids Lewa deals with are ranked as supercritical when it comes to explosion hazard and worker safety, so the company has now expanded its take a look at range to cowl these sorts of media.
In addition to an experimental space of explosion protection Zone 1 the place the test experiments happen, the container additionally features a safe control room with out explosion hazard for housing the drive and management tools. Supercritical fluids such as gasoline, methanol, acetone or nitrocellulose thinner are used in the test chamber, whose interior may be considered via gas-tight glass panes, at process temperatures of as a lot as 80°C and a maximum amount of 200 l. A high-resolution data recording system ensures accurate monitoring and outcomes.
ไดอะแฟรม ซีล has been carried out on the system to verify diaphragm clampings for micro-leakage utilizing a low-viscosity fluid and the the Lewa Ecoflow LDG3 type with an M9 pump head.
