Domestic Pump Unveils New Series of PCC Pumpless Condensate UnitsCHICAGO, IL. — May 12, 1998 —Domestic Pump, a division of ITT Industries, has introduced the new Series PCC and PCS Pumpless Condensate Units, a series of energy-saving, pumpless condensate units designed to transfer condensate at high temperatures and without the use of electricity. Controlled by a float-operated, snap-acting mechanism driven by steam or air as a motive force instead of an electric pump, Domestic's PCC Pumpless Condensate Units can be placed in remote areas where electrical power is unavailable. Requiring no electrical panels, starters or accessories, the units are also ideally suited for hazardous environments where electricity can't be used. The new PCC Units fit a wide range of system applications, including draining and returning condensate from vacuum systems, condensers, heat exchangers and other steam condensing equipment. They can also be used for transferring liquid from a sump pump pit to a higher pressure elevation. These units have an advantage over electrical driven pumps in high pressure/temperature applications because they contain no mechanical seals or motor bearings. The lack of seals and motor bearings also minimizes maintenance. The rugged PCC Units are designed for systems up to 11,000 lb/hr (4990 Kg/hr) and to handle condensate at temperatures above 210 F (99 C) and up to 350 F (176 C). When installed in a non-vented application, the PCC and PCS can pump condensate above 212 F (100 C) without flash loss. They are also designed to handle the pressure operated transfer of high temperature condensate at pressure up to 145 psi (1000 kPa). Domestic Series PCC Units are available in a variety of models designed for operating inlet pressure ranges of 10 to 150 psig and total lift/back pressure ranges of 2 to 100 psig. All Series PCC Units feature cast iron or fabricated steel bodies, stainless steel internal working parts, a gauge glass with a shut off valve and ball checks, and bronze swing inlet check and lift outlet check valves. Optional features include stainless steel check valves and a cycle counter allowing for measurement of the volume of fluid being pumped. Other features of the PCC4 model include: Other features of the PCC6 model include: Features of the PCS8 model include: Features of the P-PCC and P-PCS include: Domestic Pump, a unit of ITT Industries, offers a complete line of condensate pumps and condensate handling equipment for commercial and industrial applications.
