Heater Tank
The 6017 features a single pass heater tank. The tank is designed to maintain an optimum balance of fluid velocity versus watt density, and turbulence for excellent heat transfer, and minimal pressure drop. The high fluid velocity will greatly prolong the life of the heater and fluid.
Pump
The pump is a packed, positive displacement pump. It features a nearly failure free design, and has proven itself after years of dependable service. It is well suited for use with a variety of commercially available heat transfer fluids. The pump has only two internal moving parts, and a specially designed seal to give years of trouble free service, even at high temperatures. The only routine maintenance required is weekly greasing and occasional packing and headspace adjustment; see Chapter 6 on Page 47 for more information.
The pump is capable of running in either direction. Thus, the pump reverse feature can be used to draw fluids back from the process. It is not necessary to install a service air line to purge the lines before changing molds. Since the pump is capable of achieving extremely high pressures, it is necessary to regulate the pressure through use of a regulating
The flow is constant until the pressure reaches the rated pressure. The pressure however is a function of frictional losses through the process that it is attached to. Systems with large process connections, ports, and piping will operate at low pressures. While systems with small process connections, ports, and piping will operate at higher pressures. Once the pressure requirements exceed the rated pressure, the fulflow valve will open and bypass the necessary fluid to prevent high pressures.
