The Clayton Feedwater Pump The Clayton feedwater pump is a packless/seal- For modulating units, feedwater flow is con- less, positive displacement type, oil reservoir, trolled by varying the speed of the feedwater diaphragm pump that utilizes the diaphragm to pump using a variable speed drive. Since this is isolate the feedwater in the pump column from a positive displacement pump, flow varies lin- the hydraulic oil in the crankcase. Water is drawn early with speed. For example, at 40% of boiler through the inlet and discharged through the output, the pump runs at 40% of full/maximum outlet check valves as the column of water is speed. For step-fired uits, flow is varied within moved by the diaphragm. the pump itself, or by operating in speed steps. The Clayton, designed and manufactured, pump (Figure 1) is a volumetric, diaphragm type Figure 1 designed to deliver a fixed volume of water into the heating coil during operational loads, suffi- ciently to maintain a wet tube heating coil under all load conditions. The pump contains no packing box and can handle water up to 464° F (240° C). Output is linear with the pump speed and not affected by back pressure. The pump diaphragms are operated hydraulically by oil displaced by reciprocating pistons (Figure 2) within the pump crankcase. The pistons are in contact with hydraulic oil and not with the water. Long life, corrosion resistant springs, discs and seats are used in the check valve housings (Figure 3). Tubular columns separate the check valve housings from the pump heads to keep excessive temperature from the diaphragms. Low speed design ensures long term
