Coolant Systems
 Many coolant
systems are designed to pump cooling fluid through long runs of relatively
narrow tubing wrapped around a process chamber or a small tool tip. This
situation requires a pump with good high pressure characteristics like the
MTH regenerative turbines. EDM (electron discharge machining) equipment
is designed to remove metal from a work piece in a controlled manner by
discharging numerous electrical pulses (like small tightly controlled lightning
strikes). The negatively charged work piece is bombarded by the pulses and
material is vaporized away. The continuous discharging "gun" or
tool must be cooled at the tip to prevent premature failure. To do this,
a narrow water passage is provided around the tip. This requires low flow,
normally 3 - 10 GPM depending upon the machine, and high heads, 125 - 150
psi. The close coupled MTH T Series pumps are ideal for this application.
Please see our Standard Products page to
begin sizing a pump based on your flow and pressure requirements. MTH multistage
M50 Series pumps are also used in the machine tool coolant industry to provide high pressure
coolant outputs up to 1000PSI.

used to cool the tips of plasma arc welders and industrial laser cutting
equipment. |
