Cold Liquids
Hydra-Cell® can operate at temperatures below zero degrees centigrade.
Temperatures can affect the physical properties of the process liquid, in extreme cold conditions this makes the liquid more difficult to pump; this is generally due to increasing viscosity.
Hydra-Cell® pumps are widely used indoors and out on many applications where ambient temperatures are sub-zero. Jacket trace heating or other measures are sometimes employed to protect pumps and keep the system running smoothly. A wide range of materials of construction and careful selection result in reliable performance enabling Hydra-Cell pumps to operate at temperatures well below zero.
Wanner Application Briefs

Hydra-Cell® Operates at Temperatures below Zero Degrees Centigrade.
With an outdoor pumping installation at a chemical plant, the ambient temperature ranged between minus 30°C and plus 30°C and the pumped medium was a non-lubricating liquid with particles in suspension. Two years after the first pump was installed, two additional Hydra-Cell pumps were put in on the same duty.
