Axial piston pump technology:
Pure reliability at extreme pressure

The last thing ultra-pure water (UPW) applications need is oil contamination
from a pump. That’s one reason why more and more engineers are specifying
Danfoss axial piston pumps: the only lubricant needed is the pumped media
itself. The other reasons? Best-in-class reliability, market-leading efficiency and
compact design.

The Danfoss Group has pioneered the
development of axial piston pumps for
demanding hydraulics applications in
a broad range of industries for over 40
years. Today, Danfoss is a world leader
in axial piston pump technology for
pumps made of stainless steel and
carbon-reinforced PEEK, bringing all the
advantages of positive displacement
pumps to applications that require
liquids at high pressure.
Exacting precision
Axial piston pumps depend on precision
engineering to perform efficiently and
reliably. That’s why Danfoss PAHT pumps
are engineered and produced with
extremely small tolerances to deliver the
high performance our customers have
come to expect and depend on.
With more than 15 patents and second-
to-none production technology,
Danfoss High Pressure Pumps Division
designs and produces axial piston
pumps that punch way above their
weight class.
PAHT: Axial piston technology
for DI water and UPW
Danfoss PAHT pumps deliver all the
benefits of axial piston pump technology
to applications that require deionized
(DI) water or ultra-pure water at high
pressure. There are numerous advantages
compared to plunger pumps:
• Outstanding reliability: Fewer
moving parts and much less
maintenance. Pumps typically run at
least 8,000 hours before service.
• Energy efficient: With up to 97 %
volumetric efficiency, Danfoss PAHT
pumps drastically reduce energy bills
and lower CO2 emissions.
• Compact size, low weight: The
best power-to-footprint ratio on the
market allows flexible configuration.
• Market-leading total cost of
ownership (TCO): Thanks to low
energy and maintenance costs, TCO
for Danfoss PAHT pumps are lower
than any other pump for a growing
number of applications.

troublesome lube complexity and
schedules. maintenance worries.

Because Danfoss PAHT pumps contain so much power in a compact design, it is now possible to build the entire pump –
inside and out – from stainless steel and carbon-reinforced PEEK. Even when the pumped medium is DI water or UPW,
corrosion resistance in moving parts is ensured.
Humidification and adiabatic cooling:
Reliable performance
whatever the weather

Wherever no-fail dependability is a must, Danfoss high-pressure PAHT pumps

help control air humidity and save energy – and completely eliminate the risk of
oil contamination.

Maintaining proper air humidity is
critical to the health and well-being of
humans, animals and plants. Stable
humidity levels are also key to many
manufacturing processes in which
humidification is a vital tool in
controlling everything from
electrostatic charges and dust to air
temperature and materials in storage.
High-pressure water mist
humidification saves energy
Humidification technologies have
made rapid strides in recent years, not
least because of rising energy prices
and efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.
Increasingly, high-pressure water mist
humidification is making inroads into
applications where evaporative, steam
and ultrasonic humidifiers previously
dominated. This comes as no surprise:
while steam-based humidifiers easily
use up to 800 watts per liter, the latest
misting humidifiers built with Danfoss
PAHT high-pressure pumps use as few
as 3 watts per liter.
Adiabatic cooling depends on
reliable pumps
For many applications, adiabatic cooling
systems that atomize UPW droplets and
evaporate them into warm air are much
more energy efficient than any other
technology on the market. This is
especially true when using Danfoss’s
efficient axial piston technology, which
also uses the pumped medium as the
only lubricant to completely eliminate
the risk of oil contamination.
More and more humidification and
adiabatic cooling systems rely on
low-maintenance, corrosion-proof and
energy-efficient Danfoss PAHT pumps
to provide pressure when the pumped
medium is DI water or UPW. PAHT
pumps comply with VDI 6022 and
HACCP.

Adiabatic cooling HVAC Industrial humidification Agriculture/greenhouses

Increasingly used in server farms,
switching systems, heat-generating
production facilities and
greenhouses to reduce air

Pre-cooling inlet air saves energy
and extends compressor life. In-duct
misting maintains ideal humidity
levels in residential, commercial and
industrial settings.
Humidification systems keep
humidity levels safe and comfortable
for staff, but also control dust and
electrostatic charges. Many materials
and processes depend on consistent
humidity levels.
Humidification systems in
greenhouses rely on demineralized
water at high pressure to maintain
temperature and humidity as well as
save energy.
Danfoss PAHT pumps keep
things cool at Facebook’s 100% uptime is a must

first European data center Reliability and low

maintenance play a
major role

When Facebook chose Condair to provide an

evaporative cooling and humidification system for a
new data center in Luleaa, Sweden, Condair called
on Danfoss to provide the high-pressure pumps.

The challenge: humidification systems,” says Condair’s

Reliable, low energy, high pressure
and no contamination risks
The engineers who designed
Facebook’s massive data center in
northern Sweden planned it to be one
of the most energy efficient of its kind.
Evaporative cooling plays a key role in
this, but it also has a potential risk: oil
contamination from a high-pressure
pump, spread through atomized water
droplets, would help bacteria proliferate
and endanger both staff and
equipment. Condair required pumps
that are as contamination-free as they
are energy-efficient – and reliable.
The solution:
Condair’s ML System® with Danfoss
high-pressure PAHT pumps:
Condair humidifies and cools 28,000 m2
for Facebook. In conjunction with other
energy-saving measures, its ML System®
slashes nearly 50 % of energy costs
compared to traditional cooling
managing director, Marianne Jager.
“The pumped medium does the
lubrication, and when this is mineral-
free water, this places incredible
demands on the pumps’ metallurgical
makeup and tolerances. We choose
PAHT pumps for their cleanliness, but in
a data center where 100 % uptime is a
must, reliability and low maintenance
play a major role as well.”
The result:
One of the most energy-efficient
data centers ever built is also one of
the world’s cleanest
Facebook’s Luleaa data center came on
line in December 2012 and has since
proven to be one of the world’s most
advanced and energy efficient with
power usage efficiency (PUE) of just
1.05. It gets its electricity exclusively
from hydropower and is 100 % reliant
on renewable energy resources. POSSIBL

Parts cleaning:
No oil, no sweat

Even one drop of oil dispersed at pressure can do a lot of damage to a clean
environment. That’s why Danfoss’s axial piston technology uses the pumped
medium – DI water or UPW, not oil – to lubricate the pump.

More and more manufacturers who rely
on high-pressure DI water to get critical
parts clean are choosing Danfoss’s
oil-free pumps to supply the pressure.
Because they use the pumped
medium for lubrication, the Danfoss
range of axial piston PAHT pumps
requires no additional oil lubricants to
run efficiently. And because all wetted
parts are made from pure stainless
steel and carbon-reinforced peek, they
can easily withstand the corrosive
effects of DI water without pitting or
other damage.
Market-leading reliability
Keeping a billion-dollar wafer fabrication
plant waiting because of a high-pressure
pump failure is not an option.
Pump reliability is essential because
parts-cleaning systems are integrated
into a wide spectrum of demanding
manufacturing environments that often
run three shifts a day, all year round.
Danfoss high-pressure PAHT pumps
provide parts cleaners with the market’s
best dependability, typically with up to
8,000 hours of maintenance-free
operation.
Compact design
In-line parts cleaners are often
integrated into production floors so
that the cleaned parts are ready for use
when and where they are needed. With
the outstanding footprint-to-power
ratio enabled by axial piston
technology, Danfoss makes it easy for
OEMs to find room for an efficient PAHT
pump even in crowded cabinets. ATEX
compliant solutions are also available.

Danfoss PAHT pumps

The pumped
medium is the only
lubricant

SLE Technology produces a broad range of

innovative parts-cleaning equipment for everything
from German cars to Swiss watches and Japanese
medical equipment, using nothing but
demineralized water, high pressure and advanced
engineering skills.

The challenge:
Design parts-cleaning systems
for some of the most demanding
manufacturers in the world –
without solvents or lubricants
and strips before these materials are
welded, glued or soldered. Whereas
manufacturers used to rely on mineral-
based solvents to do the cleaning,
environmental and cost concerns
have increasingly led customers to
use DI water under high pressure.
Unfortunately, the same properties
that make DI water an effective cleaner
also make it harsh on high-pressure
pumps, especially when these must be
completely free of contamination risk
from lubricants.
The solution:
Demineralized water under high
pressure from Danfoss PAHT axial
piston pumps
Danfoss’s axial piston technology
uses the pumped medium – even
a highly aggressive one such as DI
water – to supply all the lubrication
necessary so there is no risk of the
pump contaminating the parts to be
cleaned. Many of SLE Technology’s
long intervals between service are key
parameters. Danfoss PAHT pumps are
also considerably smaller than plunger
pumps, making it easier for SLE to
integrate them into their compact
cabinets.
The result:
Low-maintenance, high-
performance parts cleaning and
deal-winning total cost

Total cost of ownership calculations
are part of practically every project
negotiation for SLE Technology. Since
high-pressure pumps represent such
a significant portion of the overall
production and maintenance costs
for a cleaning system, pump life
cycle costs are critical to the Bavarian
company’s competitiveness and key to
its continuing success.

lower costs and reduce NOx
emissions.
Compact power
Danfoss’s axial piston technology
delivers more power per cubic
centimeter than any other high-
pressure pump for DI water and UPW.
Wherever UPW adds value
Easy to install in tight places either
horizontally or vertically, Danfoss PAHT
pumps provide more flexibility for
turbine builders.
Simple maintenance,
outstanding TCO
Typically, no maintenance is necessary
for the first 8,000 hours of operation,
but this is only the beginning. Because
axial piston pumps have fewer moving
parts, no stacks and only one seal,
lifetime maintenance is radically
simplified and turbine downtime
significantly reduced. Before you
configure your next fogging or wet
compression unit for a gas turbine, be
sure to include a Danfoss PAHT pump in
your total costs of ownership
calculations. ATEX and API compliant
solutions are available.
Power augmentation
Inlet cooling reverses decreased power output
due to high ambient temperature.
Injection into compressor section boosts the
power output.
NOx reduction
By injecting atomized DI water into the
combustor, engineers can reduce flame
temperature and NOx formation.
Turbine wash
Keep turbines clean with DI water at high
pressure instead of stopping the turbine and
using detergents.

Things get hot in Kingsburg, where the cooling cost

index is more than two times higher than the
California average. As a result, PurEnergy asked
Caldwell Energy Company to provide wet
compression technology to increase the output
and efficiency of its combustion turbine, thus
increasing profitability and reducing NOx emissions.
some research opted to try out axial
piston technology: a Danfoss PAHT 25
pump was selected to handle the
high-pressure requirements. The fact
that the pumped medium is the only
lubricant was critical, but reduced
maintenance costs also played a vital role
in the decision.

The retrofit was easy because the PAHT

The challenge:
Plunger pumps require time-
consuming service routines
and still leak oil
Caldwell Energy Company has
extensive experience with a variety of
cooling technologies for combustion
turbine inlets. Its wet compression
technology, which has been installed in
hundreds of turbines throughout the
US, relies on high-pressure pumps to
get the job done.
Caldwell Energy Company traditionally
used plunger pumps to deliver the
necessary flow and pressure, but the
Kingsburg plant proved to be different.
Costs for servicing pumps were high
due to broken valves and belt drives,
and oil leaks from the pump affected
the gas turbine’s performance.
After six years and two types of plunger
pumps that did not even last a year,
Caldwell Energy Company was ready to
try something new.
The solution:
Axial piston technology with
Danfoss PAHT pumps
Caldwell Energy Company’s engineers
decided to try a new approach, and after
pump has a small footprint compared
to plunger pumps and can be mounted
either horizontally or vertically.
The result:
Contamination-free performance
and no maintenance issues
Since installation, the Danfoss PAHT pump
has run maintenance-free and the risk of
oil contamination has been eliminated.
Caldwell Energy Company now specifies
Danfoss PAHT axial piston pumps for all
new and retrofit installations.
