This pump and possibly many more around the plant returns this hot water back to a make-up tank closer to the boiler, where it can be reclaimed, chemically treated, and reused, in the boiler, consequently it can sometimes be referred to as a condensate return pump.
Dometic Group is a Swedish company that manufactures a variety of products, notably for the outdoor, recreational vehicle, marine, and hospitality industries [1] [2] in the areas of Food & Beverage, Climate, Power & Control, and other applications.
A duplex steam pump has two sets of steam and water cylinders. They are not physically connected but the steam valves on the first pump are operated by the movement of the second pump's piston rod, and vice versa. The result is that there are no "dead spots" and the pump is always self-starting. [2]
In general, heat pumps work most efficiently (that is, the heat output produced for a given energy input) when the difference between the heat source and the heat sink is small. When using a heat pump for space or water heating, therefore, the heat pump will be most efficient in mild conditions, and decline in efficiency on very cold days.
Thermodynamic heat pump cycles or refrigeration cycles are the conceptual and mathematical models for heat pump, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. [1] A heat pump is a mechanical system that transmits heat from one location (the "source") at a certain temperature to another location (the "sink" or "heat sink") at a higher temperature. [2]
Air-to-air heat pumps provide hot or cold air directly to rooms, but do not usually provide hot water. Air-to-water heat pumps use radiators or underfloor heating to heat a whole house and are often also used to provide domestic hot water. An ASHP can typically gain 4 kWh thermal energy from 1 kWh electric energy.
Piston pumps can be made variable-displacement by inserting springs inline with the pistons. The displacement is not positively controlled, but decreases as back-pressure increases. Another variation is the variable-displacement vane pump, a type that has found usage in motor vehicle automatic transmissions, such as the General Motors Hydra-Matic.
Common applications of coolant pumps are: Coolant pump or water pump, found in most modern internal combustion engine applications such as most fossil fuel powered vehicles; Coolant pumps, found in pressurized water reactors, a type of light water reactor used in the majority of Western world nuclear power plants
