First introduced in 1934, the Liqui-Mover pump is a pressure-powered pump that performs the same liquid transport functions as centrifugal pumps. However, the Liqui-Mover pump is based on an entirely different operating concept and has fewer moving parts than conventional centrifugal pumps. The positive displacement condensate pump has no motors, starters, rotating shafts, mechanical seals or impellers. Instead, it uses steam or compressed air as the motive force to lift or pump liquids. With no maintenance-intensive components to leak, wear, or fail, the Liqui-Mover condensate pump is a naturally more reliable than conventional pumps. As a result, the Liqui-Mover condensate pump will work longer, with less maintenance and far less downtime than conventional pumps. What to look for when choosing a pump for steam condensate service: Ability to handle high temperature condensate and flash steamEnergy efficiencyLow maintenanceProven performance and reliability

The Liqui-Mover float level control is 100% mechanical - it requires no electricity to operate. This makes it well suited to remote locations, like tank farms, where it is impractical to supply electricity. Float-operated level control condensate pumps are also used where electricity can be hazardous. This includes wet environments like sumpspits, bottle washers, laundry equipment, and explosive environments such as refineries, chemical plants or distillation towers.

The float free level control Liqui-Mover pump is externally powered using 120601 electrical service. It has single-tank capacities up to 705 lpm (89, 000 lbshr) or 40, 455 kghr (186 GPM) and are used anywhere a conventional centrifugal pump is used, including with coils, heaters, sterilization equipment, and evaporators, to name a few applications
