KSB RSY thermal oil pump High-temperature heat transfer oil circulation system
KSB RSY thermal oil pump High-temperature heat transfer oil circulation system
The RSY is an important member of the KSB Etanorm family, belonging to the horizontal, single-stage, end-suction centrifugal pump category. Its performance and dimensions conform to European standard EN 733. This series is specifically designed for the circulation of high-temperature heat transfer media (heat transfer oil) and hot water, and can withstand media temperatures up to 350°C, making it an ideal choice for high-flow-rate heat transfer systems.
The KSB RSY thermal oil pump is a professional industrial pump designed specifically for high-temperature heat transfer media.
With a temperature resistance of 350°C, hydraulic efficiency exceeding 85%, a safe configuration with double-end mechanical
seals, and convenient maintenance thanks to its back-pump design, the RSY series has become a reliable choice for industries
such as chemical, petrochemical, printing and dyeing, and polyester fiber.
Whether building new heat transfer systems or upgrading existing equipment for energy conservation, the KSB RSY is a worthy
first choice for high-temperature heat transfer media circulation pumps.

KSB RSY thermal oil pump High-temperature heat transfer oil circulation system Design Features and Technological Advantages
1. High-Temperature Adaptability Design
The core technological breakthrough of the RSY pump lies in its targeted design for high-temperature operating conditions:
Optimized Thermal Barrier Structure: Through a thickened pump cover design and limiting gasket configuration, heat transfer
from the pump casing to the bearing cage is effectively reduced, protecting the bearing system for long-term stable operation
at high temperatures .
Silicon Carbide Sliding Bearings: Utilizing silicon carbide sliding bearings directly lubricated by the transported medium, these
bearings possess excellent wear resistance and high-temperature resistance, avoiding the risk of "seizure" due to high-temperature
expansion .
Reinforced Bearing System: Equipped with reinforced deep groove ball bearings containing special grease, significantly extending
maintenance intervals .
2. Reliable Sealing System
Leakage of high-temperature heat transfer media is the greatest safety hazard. RSY pumps offer flexible sealing solutions:
Single-face mechanical seal: Suitable for normal operating conditions
Double-face mechanical seal (tandem arrangement): Suitable for harsh operating conditions, providing double safety assurance
Quench system: Optional seal quenching system further enhances sealing reliability
All mechanical seals comply with EN 12756 standards, ensuring global interchangeability
3. High-Efficiency Hydraulic Design
The RSY pump uses a closed radial impeller with twisted blades, and the hydraulic model has been optimized :
Pump efficiency can reach over 85%
Each pump can have its impeller cut to fit the customer's actual operating point, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
Energy saving of over 15% compared to domestic hot oil pumps
4. Convenient Maintenance Design
The RSY uses a back-pull-out design, a core advantage of the EN 733 standard :
Rotor components can be removed for maintenance without disassembling the pump casing and piping.
Replaceable pump body wear rings reduce maintenance costs.
Bearing brackets are easy to disassemble, simplifying maintenance operations
5. High-Efficiency Ventilation and Exhaust
The RSY pump casing is designed with a highly efficient ventilation profile, ensuring rapid gas discharge during pump start-up
and operation, avoiding cavitation and dry-running risks .
