Positive Displacement Pump and Turbine Pump Attributes to Consider for Liquid-Based Temperature Control

From Thermo Fisher Scientific - Thermo Scientific Baths, Circulators & Chillers

Rotary vane Positive Displacement (PD) pumps may be the most commonly used pumps in re-circulating chillers today. Performance and low cost have made them the favored pumps for a variety of applications. Turbine (TU) pumps are also used in re-circulating chillers, however, due to their higher initial cost often times PD pumps are selected over TU pumps where flow and pressure requirements can be met by a PD pump.
