Lo-Density® Heated Pump Enclosures
PHCo Heated Pump Enclosures are offered two ways – with internal or free-standing pump units. Both types of “pump-in-box” heating systems ensure the pump and valves are always at the correct temperature and ready to operate.
The complete assembly consists of either a gear reduction, or a direct-driven/positive displacement gear pump and valves, with heavy duty electric motor. All are mounted on a common base, which is in turn fitted into an enclosed insulated steel box with split, removable cover. The base-mounted driving motor is located outside the heated enclosure, away from the heat zone.
Internal: The pumping unit can be fitted compactly into the head of the storage tank, making the PHCo internal heated pump enclosure an integral part of the tank.
Free-Standing:The free-standing heated pumping unit is mounted near the tank and plumbed back to it, making this “pump-in-box” option a highly versatile choice.
Switchgear
Reversing switchgear and various valve arrangements can be furnished to accomplish any unique application requirements.
Options
Options are available for pumping from either single or multiple tanks to the plant, from one tank to fill another, from truck transport or to a distributor truck, and for draining the lines prior to shutdown procedures.
