The primary purpose of industrial circulation pumps is the forced movement of heat transfer media or liquids through pipeline systems. These units are equipped with wet-rotor motors, meaning the rotor is immersed in the working medium. As a result, all moving parts of the circulation pump are continuously lubricated.
Operating Principle of an Industrial Circulation Pump
The liquid pumped by an industrial circulation pump is captured at the inlet by an impeller mounted on the shaft. As the impeller rotates, it generates centrifugal force, causing the liquid to be pressurized and discharged into the pipeline through the outlet nozzle located in the pump housing.
An industrial circulation pump helps the working medium overcome hydraulic resistance but does not create pressure in the expansion tank. Therefore, if it is necessary, for example, to increase the liquid level in a system, an additional booster pump must be installed.
Configuration and Installation Features of Circulation Pumps

All models of industrial circulation pumps are equipped with:
- cast iron housings;
- electric motors with wet rotors;
- protective thermostats;
- timers;
- shut-off and check valves.
The main installation requirement for circulation pumps is a horizontal position of the wet rotor axis.
Areas of Application of Industrial Circulation Pumps
Industrial circulation pump models are used across various sectors and industries:
- in heating systems — for circulating heat transfer media in closed loops;
- for transporting coolants in ventilation systems;
- in air conditioning and cooling systems;
- for liquid mixing and equipment lubrication.
This list does not cover all technological processes in closed systems where industrial circulation pumps of various models are applied.
Advantages of Industrial Circulation Pumps
Key advantages of industrial circulation pumps include:
- high performance and long service life;
- low noise level;
- compact dimensions and low weight;
- minimal number of wear parts that require replacement;
- ability to operate for extended periods without maintenance or repair.
Compact circulation pumps for enterprises are installed directly on pipelines.
