The World of Pumps
• Pumps are used for a wide range of applications across many industries.
• An pump is usually used to move many different types of products, including water, chemicals, petroleum, wastewater, oil, sludge, slurry or food.
• The types of pumps typically used for industrial purposes includes centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps.
The World of Pumps
• Two major classifications of pump types:• Positive Displacement-physically draw fluid into the pump
at the inlet and force it out of the pump outlet.
• Rotodynamic (Centrifugal)-uses a rotating impeller to draw a vacuum at the inlet side of the pump and to send the fluid out at an increased pressure at the pump outlet
We will focus on the Positive Displacement type pumps in today’s discussion
Pump Considerations
Pump Installation Questions
• What type of process is the pump being installed into ?• Is it lab, scale/pilot or production?
• How much physical room do you have available where the pump will be installed?
• Do you have horizontal room? Dimensions?
• If it’s a hazardous area installation, what is the classification of the area? Adjoining area?
• Is there a long distance to cover from pump to controller?
Teledyne ISCO Pumps
Optimizing requires understanding of:• Physical/Mechanical effects on flow performance
o Leakage specifications/performanceo Mechanical variations – spring coefficientso Importance of displacement resolution
• Port/Tubing size effects on Refilling
Pump Installation Questions
• Fluid make up considerations:• Is the fluid being pumped considered aggressive or corrosive?• Does the fluid need to be heated, cooled or maintained at a
constant temperature?• Are there particulates in the material? (like biomass)• Does your fluid have particulates?• What’s the viscosity of the fluid?
Teledyne ISCO Pumps
Optimizing requires understanding of:• Fluid property effects on flow performance
o Pressure variations – compressibility – dampening effectso Temperature variations – expansion and contraction
• Effects on Refilling - viscosity fluids - cavitation
Pump Technology
Syringe Pump Technology
• Positive Displacement Piston Pumpo DC servo motor w/ Single speed gear setso Displacement resolutiono Mechanical errors effects less w/smaller
pistons
• Piston speed controlled separately for fluid delivery and refill
• Refill can be slowed down for viscous fluids
Syringe Pump Technology
Leak Sources• Cylinder cap seal - Static• Piston seal –Dynamic
o Circumference varies with pump model
• Cylinder – surface finish• Piston – surface finish
Port sizes• Tubing restriction
Fill Efficiency Definition
• Volume @ pressure/total volume
• Liquefied gases - 60 to 80% expected
• Liquids - >80%• Fill efficiency is most commonly
affected by high pump temperatures or empty supply tanks

Special Considerations (ISCO Examples)
Note
The following special considerations are exemplified using Teledyne ISCO solutions
Continuous Flow
• Problem: Need continuously flowing material• Solution:
• Our current controller can manage up to four pumps at a time. (TB16)
• Many types of valve options.• Air vs. Electric
• Single Head vs. Dual Head pumps• ReaXus LS vs. LD
• Up to 100ml/min flow and 10,000 PSI• Similar performance and options
High Viscosity
• Problem: Material being pumped is viscous• Solution: If possible, heat fluid during pumping,
or use a larger port opening• HV pumps (TB18)
• Single or Dual versions available• Typically sold with air valves if in dual system• Capable from 300cps (motor oil) to 10000 cps
(molasses)• Standard larger ports…3/8 in.
• Heated jackets• ReaXus has options for heated jackets on the pumping
heads.
Corrosive Materials
• Problem: Pumping corrosive/aggressive materials
• Solution: Alternative pump construction• Available Material Types:
• Hastelloy-(Syringe Pumps/ReaXus)• Titanium • PEEK
• Also consider the material of the seal, valve, and all wetted parts
• Caution! Always check the corrosive chart for compatibility.
Fluid Structure.
• Problem: Keeping materials in suspension while pumping
• Solution: Install a mixer onto the pumping cylinder
• Mixer package• Consists of mixer, adaptor kit and cap• Designed to help keep fluids in suspension when
needed• Valid for 500D and 1000D• Currently only an air driven model is available• Impeller is designed specifically for ISCO• Application Note (AN25) addresses this topic
Sample Trouble Shooting/Solutions
Symptoms – Bubbles in Outlet
• Air not purged• Re-tighten all fittings• Ensure inlet line has fluid• Pressure leak check inlet line (high pressure tubing only)
• Inlet Line Leaks/Reservoir• Pump initial flow to waste• Pre-pressurize then flow to waste
• Cavitation/Low Vapor Pressure• Next slide
24
Tips/Techniques – Cavitation/Vapor Pressure• Lowering viscosity
• Increase temperature (100C Standard – 200C option)
• Increase reservoir pressure• Pressure Pot• Pump• Gravity
25
Symptoms – Flow variation
• Room temperature changes• Insulating cover – dampens temperature variation• Temperature Control Jacket - maintains constant temperature
• Pressure changes – Unstable back pressure• Plugging down stream – back flow – low temperature – in tube
reaction• Back pressure regulator – spring loaded
• Excessive time to reach steady state• Excessive time to reach steady state -Set pump to constant pressure then
switch to constant flow• Piston seal/cylinder leaks – Fluid loss
• Next Slide
26
Tips/Techniques – Seal/cylinder Leaks• Leak check – 1 position -
Replace seal• Leak check – 3 positions
– replace cylinder• Leak check – after all is
considered
27
Variety of Seals
Symptoms – Poor Refills
• Insufficient fluid • Larger reservoir• Poor fill alarm
• Low vapor pressure• Next slide
• High Viscosity• Next slide
28
Tips/Techniques – Low Vapor Pressure/Viscous Fluids• Lower refill rate• Pressure pot• Larger Tubing/valves – ¼” – 3/8” – ½”

Poor Fill Alarm
Pressing the soft key A to C turns feature on/off for pump. Numeric 1 to 3 change value in 10% increments from 10%-90%
