Minimal Maintenance in Boiler Feed Duty for Power Generation

An independent energy supplier selected a Hydra-Cell seal-less pump instead of a centrifugal pump for auxiliary boiler feed applications. Boiler feed pumps must generate sufficient pressure to overcome the steam pressure developed by the boiler.

Wanner Minimal Maintenance in Boiler Feed Duty for Power Generation (1)

Pump Model: H25XKCTHFEHG
Flow Rate: 18.5 gpm (70 l/min)
Pressure: 203 psi (14 bar)
Application: Auxiliary boiler feed to generate
sufficient pressure

Hydra-Cell pumps can achieve this more efficiently than the centrifugal pumps and generate constant flows with very stable pressure, which is ideal for continuous boiler feed.

The company has operated a Hydra-Cell H25 in this application for more than 10 years with minimal maintenance. Engineers are also impressed with the leak-free, low-noise, and low-vibration performance by Hydra-Cell.
