Viscous fluid can be produced with rec. Mixed RGS flow stages perform better than radial. Temperature rise in pump High viscosity - reduces pump eff. Heat manifested as fluid heating. AutographPC includes lab -derived viscosity correction factors for all Centrilift pumps.
Gas migrates out of viscous fluids very slowly.
Inverted shroud can be added to remove the gas and fluid discharged. Mixed flow stages provide higher capacity and better performance than radial stages. GC4100 Slide GC6100 Slide Diluent injection W. A. Wright method Reduces combined viscosity of pumped fluid. Diluent injector Diluent fluid may be injected directly, or it may be injected at some distance below the motor. Direct injection of the diluent fluid into the inducer intake ensures that all of the diluent is recovered in the intended proportions for mixing and reduction of viscosity.
