Kadant Johnson Liqui-Mover® Pumps Provide an Energy-Saving Alternative to Centrifugal Pumps
Three Rivers, Mich.,- Kadant Johnson Inc., a subsidiary of Kadant Inc. (NYSE:KAI), recently expanded its Liqui-Mover® pressure-power condensate pump line to include skid-mounted packages using a float-free design. Float-free units have no springs, pivot points, or floats and offer capacities up to 180,000 pounds per hour. Liqui-Mover pumps are available as packaged or standalone units in either float-free or float-operated configurations. Float-operated units are non-electric self-actuating pumps and offer capacities up to 14,900 pounds per hour. Both versions use 150 psig ASME labeled steel tanks and are rated up to 450 F.
The Liqui-Mover pump, first introduced in 1934, has no motors, starters, shafts, rotating mechanical seals, or impellers. Instead, they use steam or compressed air as the motive pressure to lift or pump high-temperature condensate. Both the float-operated and float-free configurations reduce or eliminate the loss of flash steam and the associated heat energy, making these units highly efficient and highly reliable.
