The IMO Series Jacketed C324A pumps have a double suction design, essentially making it two pumps operating in parallel. This means the pumps are very compact for their flow range. C324A pumps are especially suitable for higher temperature operation, including the transfer of asphalts, vacuum tower bottoms, and more, as there are no antifriction bearings requiring separate cooling. In addition, this series is capable of relatively high speeds making it ideal for steam turbine drive where high speeds improves the efficiency of both the driver and the pump.
For highly viscous fluid at higher flow applications, the IMO Series Jacketed 323F pumps features a rugged design that delivers high
performance and reliability. These pumps have been widely utilized in refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants, lubricating systems, and high flow pump boosting stations and can pump polymers, chemicals, glycols, vegetable, oils, paraffins, molasses, grease, paint, asphalt and other highly viscous and/or shear sensitive type fluids in pipelines and process systems.
