Electric Condensate Recovery Unit ECRU
The ADCAMAT ECRU series electric condensate recovery unit is especially recommended for the transfer and lifting of high temperature water such as condensate, they are recommended for the transfer of high temperature water such as hot condensate. Standard models are prepared for flow rates up to 20 m3/h and higher on request.
The units consist of a condensate receiver (receiver), a metal support frame, electric pumps, level controls, valves, pre-wired control panel and piping for connections between the different elements of the units.
- Condensate tank - Completely made of AISI 316 stainless steel or carbon steel, with inlet connections, overflow, air vents, drain, pump feed outlets and a magnetic level indicator with bistable switches.
- Piping, valves and fittings - Includes full bore ball valves on pump suction inlets, manual regulating valves for manual adjustment of system head at pump discharge, piping, filters and pressure gauges.
- Metal frame - Made of structural steel (sandblasted and painted) or stainless steel (sandblasted).
- Pumps - Manufactured from cast iron or stainless steel, capable of handling hot condensate up to 98°C and designed for low NPSH.
- Control panel - Metal enclosure rated IP 65 or higher. Features alternating and cascade (simultaneity) functions, pump failure indication for each pump, high and low level alarms, pump dry run inhibitor, operating mode selector and voltage free telemetry terminals for remote statistics. The unit requires a three-phase 380 to 415 VAC, 50 Hz power supply.
- Thermally insulated vessel.
- Full or partial stainless steel construction.
- Alternative designs, including ATEX compliant versions.

- Others on request.
- Condensate is fed into the receiver through inlet connections, with stainless steel tubing, located at the top of the receiver. As condensate is pumped in, the level control system will initiate the pumping process. Under normal operating conditions, the pumps operate in alternating mode, which means that they alternate work at the end of each cycle. In case of peak loads, the level will continue to rise and the cascade switch will be activated, which will cause both pumps to run simultaneously to relieve this peak demand.
