Detail
VIRA Single Pressure-Powered Condensate Pumps are designed to collect and return hot condensate from steam-using equipment where gravity drainage is not sufficient. They provide a compact solution for applications with return-line backpressure, vertical lift requirements or condensate recovery points located above the equipment outlet.
Pressure-Powered Condensate Recovery
The system operates as a pressure-powered, or pressure motive, condensate pump. Available motive pressure is used to transfer hot condensate to the return line, making it suitable for steam applications where conventional gravity drainage cannot provide reliable condensate removal.
Float-Free Electronic Level Control
VIRA uses electronic level control instead of a mechanical float mechanism. The level sensing system contains no mechanical float and no moving sensing parts, helping reduce mechanical wear and supporting dependable operation in condensate recovery applications.
Compact Single-Pump Configuration
The single-pump configuration provides an efficient and compact solution for defined condensate loads. The control system manages pump operation according to condensate level, supporting reliable condensate transfer and practical installation in boiler rooms and industrial steam systems.
Efficient Use of Motive Steam
Efficient use of motive steam supports the transfer of high-temperature condensate with low energy demand. Returning hot condensate helps reduce make-up water consumption, boiler fuel use and thermal energy losses in the steam plant.
Project-Specific Selection
The correct single condensate pump system is selected according to condensate load, available motive pressure, return-line backpressure, vertical lift, filling head, operating temperature and installation layout. VIRA supports project-specific configuration, special manufacturing and documentation options.
