Product Description
Pompetravaini TCD Thermal Oil Pumps
The Pompetravaini TCD Thermal Oil Pumps are single-stage centrifugal pumps with closed impellers, developed specifically for high-temperature thermal-fluid duties. Standard configurations handle thermal fluids up to 320°C without requiring a special external cooling system.
Moreover, the actively cooled XT version handles diathermic fluids up to 365°C. Consequently, the TCD Series supports demanding industrial heating, circulation and heat-transfer systems.
TCD High-Temperature Centrifugal Pump Design
The TCD thermal-fluid pump uses a specialised heat-barrier chamber between the pump casing and impeller. Therefore, a significant portion of the heat from the pumped liquid is prevented from reaching the bearing and seal area.
In addition, the bearing frame includes cooling fins that dissipate residual heat. As a result, the pump can use a standard, simple single mechanical seal in many high-temperature applications.

Together, these features make the Pompetravaini TCD Thermal Oil Pumps suitable for reliable high-temperature circulation and process-transfer duties.
Thermal-Oil Pump Heat Management
Thermal oil can transfer substantial heat into the pump casing, shaft, seal and bearings. Therefore, controlling heat migration is essential for reliable operation.
The Travaini thermal-oil pump reduces this transfer through its dedicated heat-barrier chamber. Meanwhile, the finned bearing frame releases heat into the surrounding air.
Consequently, bearing temperatures and mechanical-seal exposure remain more manageable during correctly selected operation.
TCD XT Actively Cooled Pump
The standard TCD Series handles thermal fluids up to 320°C. Alternatively, the TCD XT version adds active cooling for temperatures up to 365°C.
Therefore, the XT high-temperature process pump suits particularly demanding diathermic-fluid systems. However, the required cooling arrangement, utility connections and operating limits must be confirmed for the selected model.
TCD Pump Bearings and Lubrication
The rotating assembly is supported by oversized C3-series ball bearings. Moreover, the bearings use medium-viscosity oil lubrication.
As a result, the bearing arrangement supports high-temperature industrial operation and thermal expansion. Nevertheless, operators must maintain the correct oil grade, level and replacement interval.
Ductile-Iron and Stainless-Steel TCD Pumps
The Pompetravaini TCD Thermal Oil Pumps are available in ductile iron or AISI 316 stainless steel.
Ductile iron provides robust construction for compatible thermal oils and general heating duties. Alternatively, stainless steel offers greater corrosion resistance for selected thermal fluids, vegetable oils and process liquids.
However, construction materials must match the fluid composition, temperature and possible degradation products.
TCD/SP Vegetable-Oil Pump Design
Pompetravaini developed the TCD/SP version specifically for vegetable-oil handling. Its design adds an intermediate cover beyond the mechanical seal.
This chamber connects to a reservoir containing oil compatible with the pumped product. Consequently, if the mechanical seal fails, the arrangement helps prevent air from entering and oxidising the vegetable oil.
Moreover, it helps prevent bearing oil from entering the process circuit and process liquid from reaching the bearing system.
ISO-Standard Thermal-Fluid Pump Dimensions
The TCD high-temperature centrifugal pump follows ISO 2858 and DIN 24256 dimensional standards. In addition, its dimensions match corresponding TCH Series models.
Therefore, the TCD may simplify integration or replacement in compatible ISO-standard installations. However, engineers must still verify the baseplate, coupling, motor, flanges and hydraulic operating point.
TCD Pump Performance Range
The complete TCD Series reaches:
- Maximum capacity: 350 m³/h
- Maximum head: 10 bar
- Standard temperature limit: 320°C
- XT temperature limit: 365°C
- Hydraulic arrangement: Single-stage
- Impeller design: Closed impeller
However, these are series-wide maximum values. Therefore, users should not assign 350 m³/h at 10 bar to every Travaini TCD pump.
UAE Applications for TCD Thermal Oil Pumps
The Pompetravaini TCD Thermal Oil Pumps may support:
- Thermal-oil heating systems
- Industrial heat-transfer circuits
- Chemical reactors
- Petrochemical processing
- Asphalt and bitumen plants
- Textile-processing machinery
- Food-production heating systems
- Plastic and rubber manufacturing
- Industrial ovens and dryers
- Solar thermal systems
- Vegetable-oil processing
- High-temperature circulation skids
For example, a ductile-iron TCD pump may suit compatible closed-loop thermal-oil circulation. Alternatively, an AISI 316 configuration may support selected corrosive or food-related fluids.
Selecting a Travaini TCD Pump
Correct selection depends on flow, total head, fluid type, operating temperature, viscosity and specific gravity.
In addition, users should confirm construction material, seal arrangement, cooling requirements, suction conditions, motor speed and power. Therefore, the Pompetravaini TCD Thermal Oil Pumps should be selected from model-specific performance data.
Otherwise, excessive temperature, poor suction conditions or incorrect materials may reduce seal, bearing and pump life.
