Types of Used Feedwater Pumps We Offer
We offer a wide variety of feedwater pumps designed to meet the needs of high-pressure steam systems, compact boiler rooms and industrial-scale plants:
Commonly used in high-volume boiler systems, centrifugal pumps deliver consistent flow and pressure. Ideal for large industrial steam plants and utility-scale applications.
Designed for applications with demanding pressure ratings, these pumps feature multiple impellers to reach up to 2,000 PSI, making them perfect for high-pressure steam boilers.
Easy to maintain and service, these are suited for medium-to-large plants needing high reliability and flow with simplified upkeep.
Compact in design, vertical models save floor space and are widely used in boiler rooms where footprint constraints are a concern.
How Feedwater Pumps Work
Used feedwater pumps are essential components in sustaining efficient boiler operation by ensuring a reliable supply of treated water to the system. These pumps draw water from a deaerator or storage tank and force it into the boiler shell at high pressure, enabling a continuous and stable steam generation cycle. By overcoming the internal pressure of the boiler, feedwater pumps ensure that water is always available to meet the system’s thermal demands.
To maintain consistent performance, feedwater pumps are equipped with control valves and bypass lines that regulate flow and pressure, adapting to changing load conditions. This precise control not only protects boiler components such as tubes and economizers from damage but also enhances thermal efficiency by reducing the risks of cold water shock and unnecessary fuel consumption.
Why Buy Used Feedwater Pumps?
Used feedwater pumps provide dependable performance at a fraction of the cost and lead time of new models:
- Substantial Cost Savings: Opting for a used feedwater pump for sale can reduce capital expenses by up to 60% compared to a new unit ideal for budget-sensitive upgrades or short-notice replacements.
- Quick Equipment Turnaround: Used pumps are often ready to ship immediately, helping facilities avoid prolonged shutdowns or production loss caused by OEM delays.
- Proven for Reliable Performance: All our listings come with detailed performance specs and proven history, offering peace of mind that the pump is serviceable and compliant.
- Environmentally Sustainable: Purchasing second hand equipment reduces your facility’s environmental footprint by extending the lifecycle of existing components.
- Wide Availability of Sizes: Whether you need a small unit for a 100 HP boiler or a high pressure feedwater pump for a 1000 HP plant, we carry a diverse inventory.
Troubleshooting Tips for Used Feedwater Pumps
Routine inspections and smart maintenance can help extend the life and performance of used feedwater pumps:
- Check Seal Integrity: Worn seals can lead to internal leakage or cavitation; always inspect mechanical seals before start-up, especially if the pump has been idle.
- Monitor Bearing Temperatures: Elevated bearing temps are an early sign of misalignment or lubrication failure. Install sensors for predictive maintenance.
- Watch for Pressure Drop: Sudden drops in discharge pressure may indicate clogged suction lines or worn impellers ensure system flushing before install.
- Confirm VFD Settings (if applicable): If using a variable frequency drive, confirm speed settings and ramp rates match the pump curve to avoid premature stress.
How to Choose the Right Feedwater Pump for Your System
Make informed pump selections by considering pressure, flow rate, motor compatibility and physical space:
- Match Boiler Pressure Requirements: Choose a pump with a pressure rating at least 20–30% above your boiler’s operating pressure to ensure safe margin.
- Determine Required Flow Rate: Calculate GPM (gallons per minute) needed based on boiler horsepower and steam demand to prevent undersized systems.
- Review Motor Power Compatibility: Ensure motor voltage and HP align with existing infrastructure to avoid retrofit complications or breaker upgrades.
- Space & Installation Footprint: Select between vertical and horizontal models depending on available floor space and ease of maintenance access.
