ADCA PRESSURE OPERATED PUMP POP (1" x 1" to 3" x 2" – DN 25 x DN 25 to DN 80 x DN 50) DESCRIPTION The ADCAMat POP pressure operated pump is recommended in the transfer of steam condensate, oils and other non-hazardous liquids compatible with the construction, to a higher elevation or pressure. Under certain conditions, it can drain a closed vessel under vacuum or pressure. The pump can be operated using steam, compressed air or other gases, and is manufactured in carbon steel or stainless steel. OPERATION Liquid flows by gravity into the pump through an inlet check valve, lifting the float. At this point, the motive fluid intake valve is closed while the vent valve is open. As the float reaches its highest position the motive fluid intake valve opens and the vent valve closes, allowing the motive fluid to enter the pump body. The pressure in the pump builds up just enough to overcome backpressure. The pressurized liquid opens the outlet check valve and the discharge starts. The liquid discharged may be quantified through a special counter, enabling the pump to function as a reliable flow meter. When the float reaches its lower position the motive fluid intake valve closes and the vent valve opens allowing the liquid to fill the pump once again, repeating the cycle. CE MARKING – GROUP 2 (PED – European Directive) MAIN FEATURES Hardened stainless steel wear parts. High-endurance inconel springs. Low filling head to minimize installation space.

ADCA Table 4 FLOW RATE (kg/h) INSTALLATION WITH 300 mm FILLING HEAD ABOVE THE PUMP COVER MOTIVE PRESS. (bar) 10 Remark: Based on liquid specific gravity of 0,9 to 1,0. Example Condensate load Filling head Motive fluid Available pressure Vertical lift after pump Return piping pressure Piping friction pressure drop Filling head correction: With 150 mm filling head the correction factor from Table 2 is 0,7. The corrected capacity is thus 2590 kg/h x 0,7 = 1813 kg/h. VALSTEAM ADCA Calculations: Total backpressure: 1,5 bar + (6 m x 0,0981) = 2,09 bar. Assuming steam as motive medium at a...

ADCA TYPICAL APPLICATIONS CONDENSATE RECOVERY IN A OPEN LOOP SYSTEM The pump transfers high temperature condensate without cavitation problems. The vent line must be unrestricted and self draining to the receiver (Fig. 1). FILLING HEAD Heat exchanger Check valve Steam trap Shut-off valve Vacuum breaker FROM STEAM TRAPS The pump is installed in a closed loop with its vent connected to a pressurized reciever (Fig. 2). When steam pressure is sufficient to overcome backpressure, the steam trap operates. As soon as, e.g., the equipment’s control valve starts to modulate, the steam pressure will...
