\"The
The Compact Design of the T31 Series Pump<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A very popular application for regenerative turbine pumps is in what is commonly called the \u201cTemperature Control Equipment\u201d market. This equipment is used to control the temperature of another primary process or chamber depending on the end application. Generally, the temperature controllers that are used to heat above ambient, are called \u201cheat exchangers\u201d, while those that are used to cool are called \u201cchillers\u201d. In many end applications, controlling temperature within a degree or less is critical. One of the primary methods for temperature control is to heat or cool a fluid like water, DI water, glycol, or synthetic heat transfer fluids like Galden\u00ae or Flourinert\u2122, and then circulate them through coils of tubing wrapped around the product or process chamber. This is normally done with long lengths of tubing that (due to its small diameter) has a high fluid friction resistance, and hence, requires a relatively high-pressure pump. MTH regenerative turbines are ideally suited for these applications not only because of their high head, low flow characteristics, but also because most of the manufacturers of these pieces of equipment pack their enclosures VERY tightly, and the compact single stage design of most of our products are advantageous over much larger multistage centrifugal designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
