LKH Prime
Per una maggiore efficienza della pompa e un notevole risparmio energetico, scegli la pompa autoadescante Alfa Laval LKH Prime. Il design avanzato con tecnologia a elica della pompa facilita la gestione delle operazioni Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) contenenti aria intrappolata e il pompaggio dei fluidi di processo. Ciò riduce gli investimenti di capitale. Come la gamma di pompe Alfa Laval LKH, la LKH Prime soddisfa i requisiti più rigorosi nei settori alimentare, lattiero-caseario, delle bevande e dei prodotti per la casa e l'igiene personale. Un'ampia gamma di prestazioni aggiunge versatilità.
L'elevata efficienza della pompa e il basso livello di rumore ottimizzano lo svuotamento del serbatoio e le applicazioni di ritorno CIP
- Basso rischio di contaminazione del processo: design igienico, materiali conformi FDA ed elastomeri USP classe VI a compressione predefinita
- Migliora resa e sostenibilità: l'uso di energia, detergenti e il design idraulico riducono i costi energetici e le emissioni di CO2/rifiuti chimici
- Tempo di attività ottimizzato e costi di manutenzione ridotti: design meccanico robusto e facile manutenz. con guarniz. modulari a caricam. frontale
- Investimento di capitale ridotto: per applicazioni CIP con aria intrappolata, ma può anche pompare il prodotto, senza bisogno di pompa aggiuntiva
- Funzionamento silenzioso rispetto ad altre tecnologie, garantendo un ambiente di lavoro sicuro per gli operatori degli impianti
La pompa autoadescante Alfa Laval LKH Prime, parte del portafoglio di pompe LKH, combina l'avanzata tecnologia a elica, una geometria ottimizzata della girante e dell'involucro per un funzionamento silenzioso e affidabile, una maggiore efficienza energetica e una ridotta impronta di carbonio. La sua qualità e le sue prestazioni superiori migliorano la produttività operativa. Realizzata da una barra piena senza saldature per una finitura liscia, la vite dell'aria soddisfa rigorosi standard e requisiti igienici. La pompa autoadescante è dotata di una tenuta meccanica senza sostanze rilasciabili, progettata per applicazioni di ritorno CIP contenenti miscele di aria/gas e liquidi. La lunga durata della guarnizione e l'assenza di contaminazione aumentano la produttività e la resa.
How does the LKH Prime centrifugal pump work
Construction
Alfa Laval LKH Prime is a self-priming centrifugal pump based on air-screw technology. It offers excellent operational efficiency, reducing energy consumption. The pump achieves capacities of up to 110 m3/hr and pressures of up to 115 m head.
The self-priming pump shares many common components with the Alfa Laval LKH pump range including the impeller, which can be trimmed to optimize pump performance according to its application. Dedicated components include the airscrew, casing, re-circulation pipe and cover.
Operating principle
To understand how does a self-priming pump work, it's essential to know that it uses a combination of air and water to create a vacuum, allowing it to lift fluid from a lower level. On applications where the pumped media contains a mixture of air and liquid in the suction line, air-screw rotation causes the formation of a continuous liquid ring within the canister.
Due to the eccentric position of the canister relative to the air-screw, an air chamber forms between the liquid ring and the air-screw, as shown, which separates into air pockets between the air-screw vanes.
The continuous rotation of the air-screw forces air pockets through the canister into the suction stage of the impeller which are then pumped out via the discharge.
Liquid is returned from the discharge via the re-circulation pipe into the canister to ensure the liquid ring is maintained at all times.
When there is no air present, the canister and recirculation loop have no function and are fully filled with liquid. The liquid passes through the canister into the suction stage of the impeller, allowing the pump to act as a traditional centrifugal pump.
Self-priming pump configuration options
- Impeller with reduced diameter
- Motor with increased safety/flame proof motor
- Double mechanical shaft seal
- Product wetted surface finish Ra ≤ 0.8 µm
- Product wetted elastomers in EPDM, nitrile (NBR) or fluorinated rubber (FPM)
- Silicon carbide rotating seal ring
- ½” tri-clamp drain connections (two connections)
