Pump Protection For Minimum Flow - 1556512163 PDF
The pump suffers mechanical damage if the flow rate falls below the lower limit (pump minimum
flow).
The following three types of minimum flow bypass lines are available:
FC
FCV
FC
LC
FC FT
Type B: Restriction Orifice
FC
FC
Type C: Automatic Recirculation Valve
• The investment cost of this type is between Type A and Type B. If the size of the
automatic recirculation valve (ARV) is more than 8”, the investment cost will likely be
higher than the Type A.
• This type will be applied only to clean service.
• As the pump minimum flow can be automatically maintained and manual operation is
not required, the operation is flexible.
• It is not fine adjustment as the type A.
• Due to many utilization limit conditions, it is required to contact a vendor before this
type is selected.
