INTRODUCTION OF THE KING COBRA™ PERISTALIC HOSE PUMPS

Sizes Available: 10mm (3/8”) through 102mm (4”)

PRINCIPLE

• Pulsating flow is generated by the pushing action of shoes on the wall of the elastomeric hose.

• Shoes are assembled on a rotating wheel.

• The rotating action of the wheel compresses the elastomeric hose and pushes the fluid being pumped downsteam.

• Frictions between shoes and hose are reduced by using a lubricant which also acts as a coolant.

KING COBRA ADVANTAGES

• Seal-less construction• Self-priming pump with high suction lift up to 9m (29.5’) of water• Dry-run capable• Abrasive products• Excellent volumetric capacity (dosing)• Particles up to 15% (compressible solids) or 25% (non-compressible solids) of

hose I.D.• Reversible pump• Ease of Maintenance

Hose Life Depends On...

• Differential Pressure

• Rotation Speed

• Hose Material

• Natural Rubber (N): 6 ; EPDM (E): 3 ; Buna-N (B): 2

• Liquid Temperature

• Service (Intermittent/Continous)

• Correct Ext DN Rectifying

• Correct Shimming

HOSE

• Not enough hose compression = Internal recirculation of fluid, as well as, premature wear of the hose.

• Too much hose compression = Unnecessary brake power, and Lower Hose Life

• 1mm extra shimming may increase hose compression by 2 (4 to 8 tons)

• Fluid Handled• Pumping Temperature• Capacity Required• Vacuum Requirements• Discharge Pressure• Duty Cycle (Start-Stop / Continuous)• Viscosity (fluid behavior)• % Solids• Maximum Particle Size• pH Level or chemical compatibility

UNDERSTANDING KING COBRA™PERFORMANCE CURVES

PUMP SPEED

Pump speed is directly associated to vertical axis

Example : 40 rpm for 8m3/h (35 gpm)

MOTOR POWER

Motor power curve for 5 bar

Motor power curve for 7.5 bar

Motor power curve for 10 bar

Motor power curve for 15 bar

Motor power can be read on left vertical axis

Example : for 40 rpm @ 5 bar (73 psi), motor power needed = 4 kw for 40 rpm @ 15 bar (218 psi) then motor power needed = 6.5 kw

Motor power is found with the intersection between vertical speed axis and motor power curve according to pressure

VISCOSITY LIMITS

Max viscosity allowed with vaccum assist

viscosity can be read on right vertical axis

Max viscosity allowed without vaccum assist

Example : maximum viscosity allowed without vacuum assist at 30 rpm = 10,000 cps, max of 13,500 cps with vacuum assist

Maximum viscosity allowed is found with the intersection between vertical speed axis and viscosity curve

SERVICE

Intermittent Duty = pump is running less than 2 hours and stopped more than 1 hourContinuous Duty = pump is running more than 2 hours or stopped less than 1 hour

Dark Grey coloured =Intermittent service zone

Light Grey coloured = Continuous service zone

Example : at 50 rpm and below 7.5 bar (109 psi), pump can operate continuouslyabove 7.5 bar a (109 psi), and 50 rpm, service must be intermittent

TEMPERATURE LIMITS

Example : under 5 bar (73 psi), and intermittent service, pump is limited to :90 rpm under 40°C (104ºF) and 28 rpm under 70°C (158ºF) Under 15 bar (218 psi) and 70°C, pump is limited to 16 rpm
