Applications

ü  Process / Oil & Natural Gas Industry

ü  Refinery

ü  Power Generation

ü  Irrigation

ü  Fire Fighting

ü  HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)

Principle

The pump develops the flow by converting energy of an electric motor into kinetic energy of operating fluid and then into pressure energy of a fluid that is being pumped.
