Ammonia

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for transferring ammonia due to their precise flow control and ability to handle the fluid's unique properties. Ammonia is a volatile and corrosive substance, requiring careful handling to ensure safety and efficiency in industrial applications. Positive displacement pumps, such as gear pumps, provide a constant flow regardless of pressure variations, which is crucial for maintaining stability and efficiency in ammonia transfer processes.

Current and Flow: An electrical engineer’s guide to the concepts of fluid systems

Search Description

Unlike most of my colleagues I didn’t start out with a mechanical background.  While they were studying kinetics and machine design, I was studying digital electronics and industrial power.  When I started my career in the world of pumps, I had to learn a whole new set of concepts.  What was surprising was that while the terminology may be a bit different, the concepts are very similar.  Think of the following as a “Rosetta Stone” for translating the common terms and concepts of fluid systems to your more familiar terms and concepts of electrical systems.
