Circulating Pumps

A circulator pump or circulating pump is a specific type of pump used to circulate gases, liquids, or slurries in a closed circuit. They are commonly found circulating water in a hydronic heating or cooling system.A circulating pump works by pumping or circulating liquids, gases or slurries in a loop or closed circuit. From this point, a pump only needs enough power to counteract the drag or inertia in pipes to propel the water forward efficiently. This process is repeated over and over again.The pressure provided by the rig pump is the sum of all of the individual pressures in the circulating systems. All the pressure produced by the pump is expended in this process, overcoming friction losses between the mud and whatever it is in contact with: Pressure loss in surface lines.
