FCI provides flow change to guard from dry running

Fluid Components International’s dual alarm FLT93 Series move swap supplies an early warning alert to the potential of dry operating circumstances, cavitation and other pump points that may lead to emergency shutdowns and costly maintenance.

FCI’s FLT93 Series circulate change reliably screens the flow and temperature of liquids, gases, and slurries. It is designed for pump wet/dry detection, where sudden, unexpected reductions in media circulate charges can depart pumps vulnerable to over-heating situations that shutdown process lines and require troubleshooting and fixing. The SIL2 rated instrument is meant for heavy-duty, doubtlessly hazardous course of industry environments and comes with a complete record of world safety approvals.
It has a no shifting elements design and provides a robust scheme for pump protection with its twin alarm capability. With Alarm 1, the change detects a low circulate state of affairs anyplace between zero.01 and 3 ft per second FPS (0.003–0.9 m per second MPS). This low circulate alarm is a pre-warning sign for the control system or operator who can then decide to keep the pump working or to shut it down.
If an Alarm 2 happens because the feed line to the pump is operating dry, this may be an emergency signal to shut down the pump immediately as a result of the bearings now see fuel as an alternative of a liquid as a heat transfer media. In pressure gauge 10 bar , the temperature of the bearings might rise very fast. Using a flow switch prevents permanent harm to the pump’s bearings.
