Framo SLG pump sets a new standard
As pioneers and leaders in marine pumping systems, Framo continues to set the benchmark for performance and reliability. Leveraging five decades of invaluable expertise, the Framo Submerged Liquefied Gas pump is a fully submerged centrifugal pump meticulously designed for LNG applications.
With a fail-safe design ensuring reliable fuel supply and cargo discharge, the Framo SLG pump sets a new standard in marine pumping technology, reinforcing our commitment to driving efficiency and sustainability in the maritime industry.
Navigating challenges of handling liquefied gases
Operating temperatures as low as -195°C place special design demands on a submerged pump. For example, the poor lubricating properties of liquefied gases expose the motor shaft bearings to premature failure, necessitating specialised design considerations.
Another challenge is heat. Liquid gas fuel is typically stored right below the liquid’s vapor temperature, making it highly volatile to excess heat. Therefore, it’s crucial to design the pump’s cooling system to minimise heat transfer to its surroundings. The Framo SLG pump directly tackles this issue. By ingeniously using process flow for cooling, the SLG pump effectively prevents heat transfer to the stored fuel, ensuring safe and efficient operations.
