VALSTEAM ADCA | ECRU – ELECTRIC CONDENSATE RECOVERY UNITS ELECTRIC CONDENSATE PUMPING UNITS – HORIZONTAL

The ADCAMAT ECRU series electric condensate recovery units are recommended in the transfer of high-temperature water such as hot condensate, to a higher elevation or pressure. This condensate is usually used as boiler feedwater. The standard models are prepared for flows up to 20 m3/h, or higher on request. The units are composed of an horizontal condensate vessel (receiver), a metallic support frame, electric pumps, level controls, valves, prewired control panel and pipework for connections between the different elements of the units. The condensate is brought into the vessel through the inlet connections, with stainless steel sparge pipes, located on the top of the vessel. As the condensate level rises it will trigger the level control system to start the pumping process. In normal operating conditions, the pumps will work in alternating mode, which means they will alternate duty at the end of each cycle. In the event of a peak load, the level will continue rising eventually triggering the cascading switch which will make both pumps work simultaneously to relieve this peak demand.
