Article in VDMA magazine “Pumps and Compressors for the World Market […]” on concentrated solar thermal and innovative pumps by Dickow
In the modern industrial landscape, the heat transition is at the core of sustainability efforts. Dickow Pumpen from Waldkraiburg demonstrates how innovative pump technology can drive energy efficiency and resource conservation with its latest development. The magnetically coupled and self-venting pump, specifically designed for heat transfer applications, sets new benchmarks in pump technology.
Efficiency and Robustness in Action Tested by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the pump handles temperatures up to 500°C and pressures of 50 bar in continuous operation without external cooling. This capability is based on the latest advancements in magnet and material technology, previously considered unattainable. The pump features self-degassing capabilities and requires no external cooling, making it an indispensable tool in demanding applications.
Sustainable Solutions for the Future The integration of thermal heat stores in concentrated solar thermal systems enables efficient use of solar energy to generate high temperatures. This technology not only provides direct heat but also stores excess energy, enhancing supply security and adaptability to energy demands.
Minimal Maintenance, Maximum Performance Dickow Pumpen's pump type NMX stands for high efficiency with minimal maintenance requirements. An oil change of the pump drive every 20,000 operating hours is the only maintenance needed, as the internal components are wear-free. This significantly reduces operational costs, making the pumps the ideal solution for users focused on longevity and minimal downtime.
With this groundbreaking technology, Dickow Pumpen underscores its leading position in the pump industry and contributes to a successful heat transition.
