The <\/span>peripheral pumps<\/b> They are among the most effective solutions when high pressures and low flow rates are required, a combination frequent in many chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike other technologies, <\/span>This type of pump allows for high head pressures using small power motors.<\/b>, with a positive impact on both energy efficiency and the overall footprint of the handling system, making them particularly suitable for contexts where space is limited or where it is necessary to integrate the pump into existing systems without invasive structural modifications.<\/span><\/p>\n

HTS and HTN pumps<\/b>, represent the evolution of <\/span>peripheral pumps<\/b> applicable to the chemical industry, with solutions designed to ensure resistance to aggressive fluids, operational continuity, and ease of management.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding the difficulties that customers may encounter in correctly identifying and configuring [something] for the process.<\/span>,<\/b> CDR Pompe<\/b><\/a> In addition to designing its own solutions, it has always provided technical consulting, selection support, and after-sales assistance.<\/b>, along with the choice of pump to operational and maintenance management.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peripheral pumps and centrifugal pumps: differences and applications<\/b><\/h2>\n

The distinction between <\/span>peripheral pumps<\/b> e<\/span> Centrifugal pumps<\/b><\/a> it mainly concerns how energy is transferred to the fluid and, consequently, the type of application for which they are best suited.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>peripheral pumps<\/b> they work by generating a swirling motion inside the pumping chamber<\/b>the fluid is continuously accelerated by the impeller, progressively increasing the pressure. This principle allows for high head values to be reached even with compact dimensions and energy-efficient motors. It is an effective solution when the system requires constant pressure and flow control.<\/span><\/p>\n

Centrifugal pumps, on the other hand, are designed to move large volumes of fluid with greater efficiency.<\/b> They are best suited for conditions where flow rate is the dominant parameter and are more tolerant of viscous fluids or those containing suspended solids (some of CDR's flagship products are specifically designed for liquids containing solids, such as the X Series).<\/span><\/p>\n

The choice between these two technologies<\/b><\/a> requires a precise analysis of operating conditions<\/b>, which CDR Pompe develops in collaboration with the customer to avoid critical issues related to undersizing, inefficiencies, or premature wear of components.<\/span><\/p>\n

High prevalence and low incidence<\/b><\/h3>\n

Talking about high prevalence and low incidence means getting into the specifics of the system's actual behavior. <\/span>The<\/b> prevalence<\/b><\/a> represents the pump's ability to overcome system resistances, while flow rate measures the volume of fluid transferred over time.<\/b><\/p>\n

When the required head is high, the fluid must be pushed forcefully through complex piping, against changes in elevation, or through components that generate significant pressure drop. If this is combined with a low flow rate, we enter the typical application range for <\/span>peripheral pumps<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This condition occurs, for example, in:<\/span><\/p>\n
