Pumps for a nuclear power plant are a specialised piece of equipment designed to circulate the working fluids in nuclear power plant systems. These pumps play a critical role in ensuring safety, cooling the reactor and maintaining the required pressure and temperature of the process media. Industrial pumps for nuclear power plants must meet stringent reliability and safety standards.
Peristaltic pumps, or hose pumps, are a type of positive displacement pump. The main advantage of peristaltic pumps is that nothing but the tube/hose comes into contact with the liquid. Since only the inner opening of the hose is in contact with the liquid, there is no risk of contamination of the pump.
The ASCO POMPE plant manufactures the following range of pumps: oil-immersed rotary vane vacuum pumps, dry rotary vane vacuum pumps, dry screw vacuum pumps, liquid ring vacuum pumps, automatic vacuum systems, and engineering solutions in the field of vacuum systems. Thanks to extensive experience and cooperation with leading European suppliers of components, ASCO VACUUM produces equipment of the highest quality class, which guarantees reliable and long-lasting operation.
General purpose pumps are widely used in all areas of industrial production around the world due to their gentle handling of the fluid during pumping, as well as their simple and robust design and minimal maintenance. Thanks to the standard connection dimensions, the pumps can be combined with any motor and other drive elements that comply with NEMA or IEC standards.
The pumps are used in various enterprises, industries, in the most difficult operating conditions, ensuring smooth fluid transfer. The pumps are suitable for pumping liquids with low and high viscosity, as well as for pumping abrasive, sticky, crushing and foaming liquids. The pumps are particularly suited for handling products with solid particles. The suction capacity is max. 5m/s. The pumps deliver regular, linear, pulsation-free and measured flow. Quiet operation without vibration.
Pneumatic diaphragm pump for standard operating conditions are one of the most popular series on the market. They are available in a wide range of sizes (1/4" - 3") and are used to handle general-purpose liquids such as clean water, process water, mildly aggressive liquids, liquids with a moderate content of small inclusions, oil products, etc. They are often used in the ceramic, chemical and paint and varnish industries, as well as in the wastewater and utilities sectors.
Hydra-Cell Metering Solutions pumps meet and, in most cases, exceed API 675 performance standards by providing virtually pulse-free, linear flow, as well as many other operational benefits. Taking advantage of state-of-the-art technology, Hydra-Cell P-Series metering pumps achieve superior levels of accuracy, repeatability and linearity, delivering precise, consistent flow. This revolution in metering uses the latest electronic flow control available to replace outdated, inaccurate stroke controllers.
Reduce energy consumption and lower maintenance costs with Wanner Hydra-Cell T & Q series, a triplex multi-diaphragm pump (three-piston) or a quintuplex (four-piston) diaphragm pump. These seal-less and packing-free pumps meet API 674 standards and are designed for heavy-duty applications for process, transfer and injection for the oil and gas industry.
The Wanner Hydra-Cell G-Series process pumps are highly efficient and reliable for transferring corrosive, non-lubricating and abrasive liquids, injecting and spraying a wide range of fluids. The pumps are equally suitable for high and low pressure applications. The sealed design reduces maintenance and repair costs and minimises the cost of spare parts compared to other pump types. The pumps are available with SAE, ANSI or DIN flanges and IEC or NEMA motor mounts. The equipment is ATEX certified.
Idrochemical NCM centrifugal pumps comply with the dimensional criteria of ISO 2858 and ISO 5199. The casing and impeller profiles are designed to achieve high hydraulic efficiency and low NPSH.
The NCM line is available in five bearing housing sizes with wide interchangeability of parts, which allows for low maintenance spares.
Centrifugal pumps are the most economical, widespread and versatile pumps that are widely used in many industries for both domestic and commercial applications. In the domestic sector, they are used in water supply systems, hot and cold water circulation, heating and cooling systems.
In the industrial sector, their versatility makes them indispensable. The pumps are simple in design, provide high performance and pressure and can be used in systems where the transport of liquids containing impurities is required. They have proven to be very effective in applications with constant high loads and in difficult operating conditions. They are particularly effective when pumping large volumes of liquid. For example, in the chemical industry, centrifugal pumps can handle a wide range of chemicals, providing a constant and controlled flow, which is essential for chemical processes.
Sanitary applications place unique demands on solids handling, product integrity, thorough cleaning, high efficiency and minimal downtime. With more than 60 different plate sizes to choose from, as well as technologies such as Energy-saver, Energy-saver+, Duraflow and Easyflow, APV ensures that your process requirements are met with the best possible solution. Solutions that minimise energy consumption by increasing heat transfer efficiency. Solutions that reduce plate fouling and provide easy equipment maintenance - all to minimise downtime and keep your process running smoothly.
Pumps for nuclear power plants are of paramount importance for the safety of nuclear power plants. They ensure the circulation of coolant, preventing overheating of the nuclear fuel and a possible meltdown.
Industrial pumps for nuclear power plants are designed to meet the requirements for high efficiency and reliability. They must operate in extreme conditions and withstand high temperatures, pressures and radiation exposure.
When choosing a pump for a nuclear power plant, it is necessary to take into account its performance, head, temperature and pressure conditions. The materials of the pump, its corrosion resistance and radiation resistance are also important.
Pumps must comply with international and national safety standards for nuclear power. This is confirmed by certificates and licenses from regulatory authorities.
The installation of pumps for nuclear power plants is a process that requires high skill and precision. It must be carried out by specialized organizations in compliance with all technological and safety requirements.
To ensure reliable and uninterrupted operation of the pumps, it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance, including inspection, cleaning, replacement of worn parts and testing of the system for compliance with safety standards.
Continuous improvement of materials makes it possible to increase the corrosion resistance of pumps and their resistance to radiation, thereby extending their service life.
Innovations in pump design are aimed at increasing efficiency, reliability and ease of maintenance. This includes the development of more efficient cooling and lubrication systems.
Pumps are a key element in the safety system of nuclear power plants. Selecting, installing and maintaining pumps for nuclear power plants requires a serious approach, attention to detail and strict adherence to safety standards. Reliable and efficient pumps ensure stable operation of nuclear power plants, contribute to the safety of power plants and environmental protection.
