The new Kondensat-Lift pumps up to 340 l/h of fluid at heads of up to 4.50 m. It is suitable for fluid temperatures up to 50 °C. An integrated swing check valve prevents drainage of the discharge line and provides high operating reliability. The pH value of the condensate should no exceed 2.8.

The unit comprises a collecting tank made of impact-resistant ABS plastic, which can be mounted on either the floor or the wall. Designed with space in mind, the unit has a very small footprint. Its integrated float switch takes care of automatic level control. ABS plastic is also used for the motor housing and impeller; the shaft is made of stainless steel.

The 230 V single-phase AC motor with thermal overload protection is enclosed to IP 44. The customer receives a unit that is ready to be plugged in. It comes with a 1.8 m power cable and shockproof plug (CEE-7/7), so there is no need to call on a technical expert for the electrical installation.

As standard, the unit s discharge nozzle connects to hoses with a diameter of 9.5 mm or 3/8 ". The scope of supply comprises a hosetail connector (3/8 ") as well as a 6-metre PVC hose. Also included in the basic equipment is an adapter for connecting the standard inlet (28 mm) to commercial high temperature pipes (40 mm).

Chlorine Gas Systems: New Electric Safety Valve Makes the System Safer

13.12.2024 -

Chlorine gas plays a key role in the disinfection of drinking and industrial water. However, handling the chemical can pose considerable health risks – from irritation of the eyes to fatal pulmonary oedema. To further improve occupational safety during use, Lutz-Jesco has developed the VakuStop – a vacuum regulator for dosing systems that is equipped with an emergency stop function to prevent uncontrolled chlorine gas leaks directly at the chlorine gas tank in the event of an emergency.
