Application: All pumps have one similar problem, controlling the rate of flow of the sealant fluid. If the flow is too low, the pump may overheat or the seals may wear. If the flow is too high, sealant is wasted.
Where In Process?: The Kates is inserted in the specified API and ANSI pump seal.
Why Flow Rate is Critical?: If the pump seal fails, the pump will incur severe damage. By controlling the rate of the flush to the seal, the life of the pump is extended.
What Alternatives Were Considered: Multiple orifices that need to be replaced often. Conventional multicomponent flow control loop.
Main Reasons for Choosing Kates: No worry about orifice sizing. Precise flow insured. Ability to take large pressure drops.
