A manufacturer of specialty automotive fluids and lubricants was in theprocess of transferring an existing production line to another facility. The new facility, however,did not have the capacity on its existing hot oil system to feed the additional line. Adding capacity and running new piping would have been a major expense. The transferred line was to be run as a stand-alone system, and required a seal-less pump to maintain the high temperatures and pressure. - The application engineering group at Chromalox assisted the customer with designing a hot oil temperature control system that met ASME code for hightemperature and pressure. The new line includes a jacketed reactor that is heated and maintained at 690° F for production, plus a specially selected seal-less pump.
