Aerospace Applications
Mechanical Pump Seals
Many API or ANSI plans for mechanical pump seals require flow control and call out a flow control valve or a flow orifice. If flow varies with pressure fluctuations, fluid is either wasted or the system is starved which can overheat the seals and cause premature failure.
Silicon Chip Manufacturing
High purity silicon components are critical to a wide range of high technology industries, e.g. semiconductor equipment, solar, and optics. Exacting state-of-the-art equipment and quality processes are critical to the precision manufacturing methods necessary to supply high purity quality components.
Heat Exchanger Systems
Heat exchangers are an efficient method of transferring heat from one matter to another. Heating or Cooling fluids are passed through a tubing coil, plate & frames, or radiators to maximize the surface area of the heating element in contact with the process media.
Header System
The size (diameter) and distance to points of use in a header system have a large influence on pressure and flow. Pressure drops along a header system can require excessive initial pump discharge pressure to satisfy the most remote points.
Liquid Ring Vaccum Pump
A liquid Ring Vacuum Pump is a rotating piece of equipment comprised of a multi-bladed assembly located eccentrically inside a cylindrical housing. The assembly is driven by an outside source, usually an electric motor. Service water (or another liquid) enters the pump.
Filtration
Characteristics of particle size and particle distribution is key to establishing the filtration system design to handle a variety of process conditions. Changes in fluid characteristics require process adjustments to maintain effectiveness.
Minimum Pump Flow
The pumps in these applications are high flow pumps that require a minimum constant flow to properly operate (also known as minimum continuous stable flow, or MCSF).
Blending and Batching Systems
Kates accuracy of setpoint and quick response to process pressure changes makes it an ideal cost-effective design for batching and blending applications
