PROCON 10597 Rotary Vane Pump, 3/8 Inch NPT, 25 GPH, Brass

Procon 10597 rotary vane pump is a positive displacement pump that utilises rotary motion to transfer fluids (liquids or gases) from one location to another. It is equipped with rotating vanes / blades that create a vacuum or positive pressure to move the fluid. This pump is useful in laboratory and automotive applications.

Working Mechanism:

• Rotary vane pump has vanes or blades that can slide in and out of slots in the rotor.
• As the rotor rotates, the vanes slide out due to centrifugal force.
• This creates chambers between the vanes and the casing, leading to an increase in volume.
• The expanding volume results in a lower pressure in the chamber, causing fluid to be drawn into the pump through the inlet.
• In the compression phase, the decreasing chambers compress the fluid, increasing its pressure and pushing it towards the outlet.

Features:

• Procon 10597 rotary vane pump is equipped with a pressure relief valve to handle pressures up to 55 psi.
• It has a brass housing and a stainless steel shaft ensuring corrosion resistance and aesthatic appearance.
• This rotary vane pump can produce flows up to 100 GPH and can handle temperatures up to 150 degrees F.

Compatible Accessories:

• Procon Procon 1113 V-Band Clamp: This stainless steel clamp aids users in attaching hoses to the pump.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do I maintain a rotary vane pump?

A.

• Regularly inspect and replace worn vanes and seals.
• Check oil levels and change the pump oil as needed.
• Keep the pump clean and free from debris.

Q. How do I prevent oil contamination in rotary vane pumps?

A. To prevent oil contamination, use oil mist eliminators or exhaust filters. These accessories capture the oil vapours and particles entrained in the exhaust air, allowing clean air to be released into the environment.

Q. How do I choose the right rotary vane pump for my application?

A. Selecting the appropriate rotary vane pump involves considering factors such as:

• The required flow rate and pressure level for your application.
• The type of fluid (gas or liquid) you need to handle and its compatibility with the pump materials.
• The desired vacuum level (if used for vacuum applications).
• The pump's power requirements and available power source.
