Select K-models with the Block-Style manifolds and C-models with the cast manifolds are available with a special ported inlet manifold. These Flushed C and K pump models offer unique opportunities for flushing and cooling and control of effluent emissions. This external flushing greatly enhances seal life when pumping low lubricity liquids such as DI water or high temperature liquids.

Special ports in the Inlet Manifold permits a small amount of secondary liquid to pass between the Hi-Pressure Seals or V-Packings and Lo-Pressure Seals. This flush helps cool the seals and minimize the effects of high temperature liquids. The flushing liquid provides added lubrication with low lubricity liquids such as DI water. CAT PUMPS is the exclusive manufacture of flushed pumps for DI water gas turbine inlet fogging. The flushing liquid will also contain any leaking from the seals as they begin to wear to prevent unfriendly liquids from escaping the pump. This inlet manifold flushing is especially helpful with liquids that tend to vaporize.

The secondary flushing liquid is selected to be compatible with the primary pumped liquid and is circulated at a small flow and low pressure. The flushing liquid is typically pumped at a minimum of 5 GPH up to 1 GPM depending upon pump size and pumped liquid characteristics at a nominal 5 PSI.
