Robust Rotary Vane Pumps for Liquid CO₂ Applications
BLACKMER CRL-Serie – rotary vane pumps
Due to the specific requirements of leading CO₂ suppliers for a more durable pump capable of handling higher operating pressures in liquid CO₂ service, Blackmer developed the CRL series to meet or exceed supplier specifications. The pumps are designed for maximum performance and reliability, even under extreme operating conditions.
BLACKMER CRLR1.25, CRL1.25 & CRL1.5
BLACKMER CRL Series Rotary Vane Pumps – Cavitation Line
These pumps are part of the Cavitation Line and provide flow rates from 5 to 22 US gpm (19 to 83 L/min). They are particularly suitable for recirculation systems and small-volume transfer applications.
The BLACKMER CRL models are designed for foot mounting on a common baseplate.
BLACKMER CRL High-Speed – Rotary Vane Pumps
High-speed ductile iron rotary vane pumps for liquid CO₂ applications.
The CRL High-Speed rotary vane pumps, part of the Cavitation Line, are durable, motor-driven pumps with flow rates of 5 to 22 US gpm (19–83 L/min). They are ideal for recirculation systems and small-volume transfer applications. The CRL models are designed for foot mounting on a shared baseplate.
Technical Features
- Connection options: 1.25- or 1.5-inch NPT female threads
- Equipment: internal safety valve, replaceable housing liner and end plates for easy overhaul of the pumping chamber
- CRLR 1.25 model: special liner for lower flow rates than the CRL 1.25 pump
- Materials: silicon carbide mechanical seals, laminated vanes
- Maximum differential pressure:
CRLR 1.25: 70 psi (4.83 bar)
CRL 1.25 and CRL 1.5: 100 psi (6.89 bar)
Delivery and Mounting
- Pumps can be delivered as fully assembled units, with or without a motor.
- For dimensions of the mounted pump units, see the catalog datasheets.
Fully Integrated Unit Assemblies
Blackmer offers preconfigured, prefabricated complete systems as ready-to-use pump solutions.
These units include:
- Motor
- Gearbox
- Baseplate
- Coupling guards
- CRL 1.5-inch rotary vane pump
Thanks to these preconfigured units, no alignment is required – the pump solution can be installed directly.
BLACKMER CRL2, CRL3 & CRL4
BLACKMER CRL 2–4 Inch Rotary Vane Pumps – Ductile Iron Pumps for Bulk Liquid CO₂ Transfer
The BLACKMER CRL pumps in 2, 3, and 4-inch sizes, part of the Cavitation Line, are widely used for robust bulk transfer and recirculation applications, such as:
- Industrial facilities
- Food processing systems
- Refrigeration systems
- Process plants
- Loading and unloading of transport vehicles
Technical Data
- Flow rate: 25 to 300 US gpm (95–1,134 L/min)
- Drive shaft: double-sided configuration for flexible positioning (clockwise or counterclockwise rotation)
- Equipment: internal safety valve, replaceable housing liner and end plates for easy overhaul of the pumping chamber
- Cavitation suppression: special liners reduce noise, vibration, and wear
- Materials: silicon carbide mechanical seals, laminated vanes
- Connections: NPT female-threaded flanges or welded flanges (see flange overview)
- Maximum differential pressure: 100 psi (6.89 bar) for all models
Delivery and Mounting Options
