Engineering pre-selection for chemical duty pumps
APPLICATION

Thermal storage — molten salt circulation

Molten nitrate salt at 400–570 °C — far beyond every standard catalogue pump; the tool will route you to engineering review, which is the correct answer.

The typical duty

FluidMolten nitrate salt (not in the online knowledge base)
Temperature450 °C
Flow300 m³/h
Head60 m
Viscosity≈ 3 cP

What the selector says at this duty

This application is beyond every catalogue pump in our knowledge base. That is not a dead end — it is the correct answer: duties like this go to the manufacturers' engineering teams, and the fastest route there is the tool below (it will tell you the same thing, in writing).

What to watch

  • Traceability of high-temperature long-shaft builds matters more than brand
  • Freeze protection of every wetted dead leg is a design item
