| Greetings!
The temperature of your seal water greatly effects the efficiency of your vacuum pumps. CVN Vooner has come up with some very simple low cost solutions! |
 Cooling Tower with Gravity Strainer Improves Performance of Vacuum Pumps
With global warming now bringing us into spring and summer the temperature of vacuum pump seal water starts rising if you recirculate it. The temp can reach 125 deg. F but a cooling tower can bring it down to 80-90 deg F and improve vacuum pump capacity by about 10-15 percent!
This can have a very beneficial effect on your forming and press section performance with improved vacuum service airflow.
All Papermakers would love more vacuum on their couch rolls and wetends. Many experience lower vacuum levels one warm weather is upon us.
The gravity strainer is located ahead of the cooling tower to remove debris and fiber that may be retained on a 100 mesh screen.
Construction is all 316 SS for the strainer and HPDE Polyethylene with PVC for the Cooling Tower. Both units can be located outside and require very little maintenance.
