Application: Maintaining the minimum critical flow to a boiler feed pump in order to maintain proper heating in the pump during cold conditions.
Where In Process?: Recirculation line off the pump discharge back to the pump.
Why Flow Rate is Critical?: Loss of flow or too little flow creates pump instability and poor working capability. Too much recalculated flow is simple wasted energy.
What Alternatives Were Considered: Multiple component flow control loop.
Main Reasons for Choosing Kates: Simple operation, ease of installation, no interaction of various components.
