Special liner reduces vapor-caused noise, vibration

Blackmer’s LGL Series sliding vane pumps were designed for use in LP gas and propane autogas applications. According to Blackmer, the pumps feature a unique cavitation-suppression liner that helps reduce the noise, vibration and wear entrained vapors can cause. The pumps also feature ductile-iron construction and internal relief valves, which provide self-priming and dry-run capabilities. In addition, Blackmer’s LB Series reciprocating gas compressors achieve transfer rates of 132 to 2,630 gallons per minute, according to the company. LB Series compressors can handle the transfer and recovery of liquefied gases. All models feature ductile-iron pressure parts for optimized resistance to thermal and mechanical shock. One other Blackmer-related development is the release of its updated “Bulletin 501-001” document, which is available in English, French, Russian, Spanish and Mandarin. The document is designed to provide information about the company’s positive displacement pumps and oil-free reciprocating compressors for LP gas applications.
