A condensate pump is a type of centrifugal pump. It is so
named based on the kind of fluid it handles. It is designed to use with
appliances that generate water build-ups such as refrigerators,
air-conditioners, and other appliances. The water is formed out of the water
vapor, which is formed from the steam when warm air meets the cool unit. The
function of the pump is to remove water from the system through a pipe.
When the float in the water reaches a specific height, the
pump is triggered. When a switch is triggered, the pump is turned on. The pump
is turned off when the float goes down and, in the process, signals the pump to
turn off. There is a safety switch in some pumps that becomes active when the
pump fails to turn on. The safety switch turns off the entire system. The
second switch higher than the first activates when the float reaches the second
switch. When the system turns off, the condensation tank doesn’t overflow.
Features and benefits
of the Burks GV Series Condensate Pumps
Duplex system and
Burks 3GV6-14D, GV Series
Burks condensate pumps are superior quality pumps known as
Condensate Return Systems. These condensate units are intended for automated
hot water condensation return coils, radiators, etc., to high and low-pressure
boilers. In other words, these units can return liquids and water to the
overhead tanks used in the systems based on industrial gravity circulation. The
GV series has the features of bronze impellers that are precision balanced, 200
degrees F of a temperature rating, and receiver tanks of cast iron. Burks GV
models head to 130 feet and flow to 80 GPM with 1 1/4 inches discharge. Its RPM
is 3450. Its HP ranges between 0.33 to 3, while boiler feed HP is 1/3. All
units are dispatched finished, and they are ready for an easy and quick
installation.

Burks GV
Series Duplex Condensate Return System

These condensate pumps find their use in boiler feed and
condensate return systems. The advantage of non-overloading performance
testifies the quality of this product. It is not just a number on your
performance curve. An overloaded motor is in the danger of tripping when the
required work exceeds the motor's capacity. However, the better-quality larger
motors of the Duplex system and Burks 3GV6-14D can sustain the GV Series under
these conditions because it is non-overloading.
Bronze impellers used in Burks condensate pumps that are
precision balanced are in itself the hallmark of a standard that this company
brings about in its products. It requires specialized skills to cast and
balance the impellers accurately. It reflects the commitment to outstanding
quality and consistency that this company stands for.
There are several other features of the Duplex system and Burks
3GV6-14D, GV Series, Duplex, Condensate Return System, Boiler feed other
than the ones specified above, such as the top pull-out design system. This
design facilitates the ease of service and maintenance. With this design in
place, the rotating assembly can be removed without disturbing the piping or
the volute.
The advantage of the float switch or alternator is that
pump motors can be controlled automatically. There are present high and lower
levels at which the motor can start and stop.
Simplex system and
Burks 3GV6-9 GV Series
Both simplex
and duplex
style condensate pumps serve the same purpose. They are designed to
automatically return hot water condensation from coils and radiators to boilers
at low and high pressure. They also find an application in industrial systems
using gravity circulation with overhead tanks where water and other fluids are
returned.

Burks GV
Series Simplex Condensate Return System

However, where the system is designed for heavy loads of
liquid or condensate return, the Duplex Unit is required. It is also used in
systems that require a stand-by-pump. Both types of units, Simplex and Duplex,
can be converted into a feed unit for a boiler with the use of a make-up valve
that is solenoid operated.
Most of the features of the Burks condensate pumps,
whether they are Duplex system and Burks 3GV6-14D, GV Series or Simplex system,
and Burks 3GV6-9, GV Series are the same. In other words, Simplex system and
Burks 3GV6-9, GV Series feature pre-wired and mounted motor controls,
alternator or float switch, and both of them have bronze impellers that are
precision balanced and the top pull-out. The performance curves are
non-overloading, giving them the quality of impeccable performance. They are
rated for temperatures up to 200 degrees F. Its high-quality durability,
machinability, leak-tightness, and corrosion resistance come from the use of
cast iron.
In a nutshell, Burke condensate pumps are excellent in
quality and efficiency. They are durable and have a long life. They are
designed to make maintenance easy. The material used in their construction is
of high quality to ensure trouble-free consistent and continuous working for a
long time.
