Reliable Self Priming Operation Feature :
A196 series ANSI Centrifugal pumps need to be primed by removing air and filling with liquid before they work. This is easy if the pump is underwater or if the liquid is above it, but requires extra steps if the pump has negative suction pressure.
- Aquarius A796 ANSI Self-Priming Chemical Process Pump Casing has a built-in chamber that always keeps enough liquid to stay primed.
- Aquarius A796 ANSI Self-Priming Chemical Process Pump Casing’s one-piece design includes both priming and air separation features. This means it works efficiently on its own without needing extra priming systems.
Priming and Air Separation in casing :
- Aquarius A796 ANSI Self-Priming Chemical Process pump’s dual volute design needs just a small amount of liquid to begin working.
- During priming, the lower part draws in liquid, while the upper part expels both liquid and air, removing the air through the discharge and recirculating the liquid.
- When all air is removed and liquid fills the pump’s impeller eye, it’s fully primed and works like a standard centrifugal pump.
- Both volutes then act as discharges to handle the liquid.
- Aquarius A796 ANSI Self-Priming Chemical Process pump casing keeps enough liquid inside for repriming, even if liquid drains back to the supply source.
