Pulsafeeder, announced an addition to the PulsaPro family of Hydraulically Actuated Diaphragm Metering Pumps, with the introduction of the Hypo Valve, which is used for pumping effervescent fluids such as Sodium Hypochlorite.
The Hypo Valve is the latest innovation for the PulsaPro Pump Series and is designed to manage off-gassing in dosing applications. The Hypo Valve technology allows pressurized process fluid to cyclically flush liquid and vapors through the pump’s discharge check system while maintaining high performance and chemical dosing accuracy. This avoids common issues, such as vapor-lock, which lead to reduced capacity and inaccurate chemical dosing, while also preventing unnecessary maintenance work.
When pumping effervescent fluids, oxygen can continuously accumulate within the reagent head, significantly affecting a pump’s performance and requiring user intervention to purge the gas. The Hypo Valve features a closed-loop vapor-handling system and a uniquely sealed solenoid valve that automatically evacuates trapped vapors from the reagent head. PulsaPro Pumps, configured with the Hypo Valve, are self-priming for faster and more efficient commissioning. With the addition of this technology, the PulsaPro pump efficiently handles off-gassing chemicals, such as Sodium Hypochlorite. It also reduces monitoring requirements and maximizes uptime for the system.
The patented Hypo Valve design is based on proven technology that has been deployed in the field for decades, via PulsaPro’s predecessor Pulsar and Pulsar Shadow pumps. The Hypo Valve option is integrated directly into the PulsaPro pump – so it does not require ancillary piping or additional equipment to effectively address Sodium Hypochlorite disinfection applications.
