A self-priming jet pump includes a pump body provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. A jet tube and an impeller are arranged in the pump body. The jet tube is communicated with the water inlet and an inlet of an impeller. A first channel is arranged on the outer periphery of the jet tube. The first channel is communicated with the water inlet and the impeller. A cross-section of the first channel is a closed or open annular structure, and the first channel is around the outer periphery of the jet tube. The first channel is provided with a valve core. When a pressure at the water inlet is greater than a predetermined pressure at the impeller, the valve core moves to switch on the first channel. A cavitation problem is relieved by arranging the flow-increasing channel.

Embodiments of this application provide a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump includes a pump casing and a first drive mechanism, a second drive mechanism, a pump shaft, and an impeller that are disposed in the pump casing. The pump casing includes a first chamber and a second chamber that are connected. An axis of the pump shaft coincides with axes of the first chamber and the second chamber. An inner diameter of the second chamber is greater than that of the first chamber. The impeller is connected to an end of the pump shaft. The first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism are connected to the pump shaft and located on a side, away from the impeller, of the pump shaft. The first drive mechanism is configured to drive the pump shaft to rotate.

A liquefied gas unloading and deep evacuation system may more quickly, more efficiently and more completely unload liquefied gases from transport tanks, such as rail cars, into stationary storage tanks or into truck tanks. The system may utilize a two stage compressor, an electric motor, a variable frequency drive, a four way valve, a three way valve, a two way valve, a programmable logic controller based control system and pressure and temperature transmitters. The valving enables deep evacuation of the transport or supply tank to more completely empty the transport tank. The programmable logic controller and variable speed drive may be used to variably control the speed of the two stage compressor so that the system may be running as fast as possible during changes in ambient temperature and/or different stages of offloading the liquefied gases without exceeding the compressor's horsepower limit.

A pump system includes dual centrifugal pumps mounted on a fabricated skid. Both pumps are belt driven by one motor. The pumps are piped with three two-way valves and crossover piping configured such that the pumps can be operated in either series or parallel flow using a single inlet and outlet for the system.

A viscous coupling may include: a housing part and an input body rotatable relative to the housing part that at least partially delimit an interior space; a shaft rotatable relative to the housing part and on which an output body arranged in the interior space may be formed for conjoint rotation with the shaft; a coupling region formed between the output and input bodies and configured to hold a viscous fluid to assure a coupling between the input body and the output body; a holding chamber for collecting coolant leaking from the coolant pump; a housing wall conformed integrally with the housing part and partially delimiting the holding chamber; and an actuator housing and an electric actuator therein by which a degree of the coupling between the input body and the output body may be adjustable. The actuator housing may at least partially cover the holding chamber.

A Y-tool is configured for use with a pumping system that includes an electric submersible pump and bypass tubing. The Y-tool includes a slave valve assembly that controls access to the bypass tubing. The Y-tool also includes a master valve assembly driven by pressure from the electric submersible pump and a linkage assembly connected between the master valve assembly and the slave valve assembly.

A pump device is proposed for arrangement on a recirculation line of an industrial water system including a feed pump, a check valve and a bypass line for the check valve. The bypass line is arranged in parallel to the check valve and wherein a combination of the check valve and bypass line is arrange in series to the feed pump.

In a pump housing having an interior for accommodating a pump rotor, which may be transferred from a radially compressed state into a radially expanded state, and comprises a housing skin revolving in circumferential direction, as well as at least one reinforcement element, a stretch-resistant element revolving in circumferential direction is provided, which is stretched less than 5% in the expanded state as opposed to the force-free state in circumferential direction, and which limits any further expansion of the pump housing in radial direction.

A system for maintaining a prime of a pump includes a suction line, a discharge line, a pump line, a bypass line, and a pressure tank connected to the bypass line. The pump line includes a pump, an inlet in communication with the suction line, and a discharge in communication with the discharge line. The pump is operable to propel fluid from the suction line to the discharge line through the pump line. The bypass line extends from the suction line to the discharge line. The bypass line includes a control valve operable to selectively permit fluid to flow through the bypass line from the discharge line to the suction line.
