PROCON 141A125F11AA Rotary Vane Pump, 3/8 Inch NPT, 131 GPH, Low Lead Brass

Procon 141A125F11AA rotary vane pump is a positive displacement pump that utilises vanes mounted on a rotor to create a vacuum or pressure by rotating within a cylindrical chamber. As the rotor spins, the vanes slide in and out due to centrifugal force, creating chambers of varying volume. This movement enables the pump to draw in and expel fluids efficiently. It is used in beverage dispensers, espresso machines, refrigeration units, water purification systems and industrial fluid transfer tasks.

Working Mechanism:

• Rotary vane pump operates on a positive displacement principle, using vanes mounted on a rotor to create fluid flow. Inside the pump's cylindrical chamber, the rotor rotates and the vanes slide in and out due to centrifugal force.
• This motion creates variable-volume chambers that draw fluid into the pump through the inlet. As the rotor continues to spin, the vanes compress the fluid, increasing the pressure. The pressurised fluid is then expelled through the outlet, enabling the pump to transfer liquids.

Features:

• It has a rotary vane mechanism that ensures a stable flow rate even when operating under varying pressures.
• This rotary vane pump has a self-priming ability for water, allowing it to start quickly and efficiently, minimising downtime and optimising productivity.
• It is integrated with a built-in internal relief valve for protecting from excessive pressures.
• This vane pump has an integral strainer for efficiently removing debris and particles from the pumped fluid, safeguarding downstream components and maintaining fluid quality.
• It features low lead brass construction for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
• This pump offers NPT 3/8 inch connections at the inlet and outlet for compatibility with standard plumbing fittings, facilitating easy integration into existing systems.
• It has EPDM / nitrile elastomer seals for leakproof connections & durability.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What are the advantages of using a rotary vane pump compared to other types of pumps?

A. Compared to other pumps, rotary vane pumps generally provide a more stable and constant flow rate. They are efficient, compact and suitable for a wide range of fluid transfer applications.

Q. What is the maximum flow rate of this Procon 141A125F11AA rotary vane pump?

A. Procon 141A125F11AA rotary vane pump has a flow rate of 125 gallons per hour (375 litres per hour).

Q. How does the internal relief valve in the rotary vane pump function?

A. The internal relief valve protects the pump from excessive pressure by diverting the fluid back into the inlet when the pressure reaches a pre-set limit.

Q. What are the recommended maintenance practices for a rotary vane pump?

A. Rotary vane pump requires minimal maintenance. Regularly inspecting and cleaning the strainer, checking for leaks and ensuring proper lubrication are common maintenance practices.

Q. What is the operating temperature range for this pump?

A. Procon 141A125F11AA rotary vane pump can operate within a temperature range of -4 to 160 degrees F.
