Cat Pumps have recently updated the Pump Catalogue, the new edition features the latest pumps and 3 D cutaway images of the different pump types available.
A wide variety of pumps are included to cover the following:
One of the essential elements in successfully identifying and selecting the best pump for a particular application has to be the analysis of life cycle costs. The issue of equipment lifetime operating and downtime costs has never been higher within industry, and life cycle costs are now very much a part of the specification process. Putting the purchase price ahead of performance is a common scenario, so the impetus is on the pump provider to examine and explain life-cycle costs and how they can impact on the investment to the customer. Life-cycle costs (LCC) will take into account known factors such as the initial investment and subsequent spares, alongside the less obvious factors associated with maintenance, downtime effect, power consumption and efficient use of the product being handled.Read more
Liquid CO2 (carbon dioxide) is used in processes across many industries. However, pumping it presents an array of challenges both to equipment/systems manufacturers and plant managers because CO2 must be transferred at a controlled combination of low temperature and high pressure to minimise vapour forming. For the pump manufacturer, the inherent compressibility and poor lubricating properties also places special demands on pump design. Read more
