Product overview · LNS-DZ-PDG

Description

A precision positive-displacement micro-gear dosing skid developed for very low-flow, high-repeatability chemical and additive injection — closely fitted rotating gears deliver near-continuous, low-pulsation flow and respond accurately to precision speed control.

Typical media

  • Fuel dyes and markers
  • Lubricity improvers
  • Performance additives
  • Catalysts
  • Specialty solvents
  • Lube-oil additives
  • Modifiers and inhibitors
  • Clean, non-abrasive process liquids

Design

Key features

  • Precision external or internal micro-gear pump
  • Near-continuous, low-pulsation delivery
  • Servo or VFD precision speed control
  • Single, duty/standby or multi-line package
  • Fine suction filtration
  • Optional duplex filter
  • High-accuracy low-flow meter
  • Pressure gauge and transmitter
  • Relief or bypass arrangement
  • Fine control or injection valve
  • Mechanical-seal or magnetic-drive option where available
  • Day tank or small buffer-vessel option
  • PLC/HMI and remote automation interface

Engineering approach

  • Minimum and maximum dosing rate
  • Differential pressure and internal slip
  • Viscosity across the operating-temperature range
  • Liquid lubricity
  • Vapor pressure and entrained gas
  • Maximum particle size and cleanliness
  • Meter rangeability and speed resolution
  • Mechanical-seal or magnetic-drive compatibility
  • A flooded or positive suction condition is preferred; suction piping is kept short and low-loss

Advantages

  • Excellent repeatability at very low flow
  • Near-continuous, low-pulsation delivery
  • Fine electronic capacity control
  • Compact multi-line construction
  • High-accuracy flow-feedback option
  • Mechanical-seal or magnetic-drive alternatives
  • Good fit for dyes, markers, catalysts and specialty additives
  • Easy integration with ratio and batch control

Safety philosophy

Filtration & viscosity philosophy

  • Stable performance requires clean liquid, correctly sized suction filtration and controlled viscosity
  • Very low viscosity can increase internal slip and reduce volumetric efficiency
  • High viscosity can increase suction loss and drive torque
  • Heating or heat tracing may be incorporated for viscous additives
  • Abrasive solids, crystallizing liquids and polymerizing fluids require special review
  • Calibration should cover the actual operating flow and viscosity range
