Hydra Cell
Pump Solutions Limited are pleased to offer the complete Hydra-Cell system of pumps, pressure relief and back pressure valves, frequency inverters, reduction gear boxes, flow meters, calibration columns, motor drives and controllers, providing you with a precise, cost effective metering solution when you need it.
Manufactured by Wanner International Ltd. the Hydra-Cell pump design shares some of the features of traditional (membrane piston) metering pumps, and like them, meets the performance and accuracy requirements laid down for metering pumps in API 675. Both are based on the principle of hydraulically balanced diaphragms. Both are seal-less pumps, able to handle abrasives, solids in suspension, corrosives and non-lubricating fluids that can cause repair and maintenance problems for pumps with shaft seals and other components vulnerable to rapid wear. Both types can run dry without damage.
The Hydra-Cell pump is simple in construction, less elaborate in design and physically much smaller for equivalent flow pressure performance. These differences can substantially affect both purchase and operating costs. Multiple diaphragms flexing in sequence are incorporated in a single pump head, minimizing pulsation and avoiding or reducing the need for dampeners. The means by which flow is varied is also different. Instead of an inbuilt mechanism for altering stroke length, the Hydra-Cell relies on its linear relationship between shaft speed and flow rate. This allows the flow to be controlled accurately by either pneumatic or electronic means. Automation is simpler, with lower control system costs and faster response.
