Delta T Systems now offers magnetic drive pumps as an option for its T Series Hot Oil Units. Available for our single or dual zone oil circulating high temperature control systems, magnetic drive pumps are an ideal solution for many demanding applications.
A magnetic drive pump, also known as a mag drive pump, is a type of pump that uses a magnetic coupling to transmit torque from the motor to the pump’s impeller, eliminating the need for a traditional mechanical seal. This design has several benefits, particularly in applications where leakage or contamination must be avoided.
Key Components and Operation:
- Motor: Provides the rotational power needed to drive the pump.
- Magnetic Coupling: Consists of two sets of magnets: one attached to the motor shaft (driving magnet) and the other attached to the impeller (driven magnet). These magnets are separated by a containment shell or canister, which isolates the liquid being pumped from the motor.
- Impeller: The component that moves the fluid through the pump.
When the motor operates, it turns the driving magnet. The magnetic field generated by the driving magnet transmits the rotational motion through the containment shell to the driven magnet, which is connected to the impeller. The impeller rotates and moves the fluid through the pump.
Advantages:
- Leak-Free Operation: Since there are no mechanical seals, the risk of leaks is significantly reduced.
- Reduced Maintenance: Mechanical seals are common failure points in traditional pumps. Eliminating these seals reduces the maintenance needs and increases the pump’s lifespan.
- Increased Safety: The sealed design enhances safety by preventing exposure to fluids.
- Efficiency: Mag drive pumps can be highly efficient due to the direct transmission of power through the magnetic coupling.
- Noise level: Mag drive pumps are significantly quieter than most other pumps.
Delta T System’s magnetic drive pumps are rated for temperatures up to 550F (287C). They are a reliable, leak-free solution for various demanding applications where traditional mechanical seals might fail or cause contamination issues. The pumps are a cost-effective option designed for 24/7 use.
