How to boost pressure in cooling water line?

How to boost pressure in cooling water line?

How to boost pressure in cooling water line?

(OP)
Hello
I need to hook up a new eqp to existing cooling water line. But the pressure in existing line is too small (assume 0.5 barg) I need at least 1 barg at device inlet. Is it possible to hook up a centrifugal pump to line? Then I could supply an equipment with water. Maybe I should use a diferent type of pump? Flow rate is ca 100 m3/hr.

Thanks for any suggestions.

They have "booster" pumps for your very application.  They are low flow, high pressure.  They are essentially multi-stage centrifugal pumps.

The pumps head will be the pressure drop through the piping and your piece of equipment plus a .25 bar for pressure drop flow control.
