Product Description

The Forced Circulation Pump is a specialized axial or mixed-flow pump designed for evaporator, crystallizer, and reboiler circulation systems in chemical and process industries. Its low-head, high-flow design moves large volumes of process fluid through heat exchangers, with flow rates up to 5,000 m³/h at heads of only 2-20 m. The pump handles temperatures to 250°C with stainless steel, duplex, or nickel alloy construction for corrosive and scaling fluids. Ideal for zero-liquid discharge, crystallization, and chemical concentration processes.

Applications

  • Evaporator circulation
  • Crystallization systems
  • Chemical reactor circulation
  • Sugar evaporation
  • Desalination plants
  • Mining leaching circuits

Quality Assurance

All Forced Circulation Pumps are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management system. Each pump undergoes rigorous testing including hydrostatic pressure test, performance test, NDT inspection, and dynamic balance verification before shipment. We provide comprehensive documentation including test reports, material certificates, and operation manuals.

Why Choose Our High Temperature & Circulation Pumps

Horizontal Split Case Double Suction

Axially split casing with double-suction impeller for high-flow medium-head service, providing balanced axial thrust and low NPSH.

High Flow Capacity

Flow rates up to 10,000 m³/h, suitable for water supply, cooling water, fire protection, and large-volume circulation.

Easy Maintenance Access

Horizontally split casing allows top removal of rotating element without disconnecting suction or discharge piping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a forced circulation pump?

A forced circulation pump drives fluid through heat exchangers, evaporators, or reactors at controlled flow rates. It is critical in chemical processes requiring precise heat transfer.

What special features do forced circulation pumps have?

They often feature axial or mixed-flow impellers for high flow at low head, robust bearings for continuous duty, and materials matched to the process fluid. Some are vertical (line shaft) for evaporator service.

Can forced circulation pumps handle boiling or flashing fluids?

Yes, they are designed with low NPSH requirements to handle fluids near their boiling point. Vertical pumps with the impeller below the liquid level provide excellent NPSH margin.

What industries use forced circulation pumps?

Chemical manufacturing (evaporation, crystallization), pulp and paper (black liquor), food and beverage (evaporators), desalination, and power generation (cooling water).

Selection Guide

✅ When to Choose This Pump

  • Thermal oil and hot oil circulation
  • Boiler feedwater and condensate service
  • Forced circulation in evaporators
  • High-temperature process heating systems

⚠️ When NOT to Choose

  • Ambient temperature water service
  • Strong acids requiring lining
  • Low-flow precision metering
  • Portable/temporary installations

💡 Common Selection Mistakes

  • Not using centerline mounting for thermal expansion
  • Ignoring NPSH for hot fluids
  • Using standard seal without cooling
  • Not allowing for thermal growth in piping
