A shaft-sealing device for a pump includes a seal housing attached to a pump housing in which a rotary shaft is mounted. The seal housing is provided with a coolant inlet passage and a coolant outlet passage, both of which interconnect with a seal space in the seal housing. The coolant outlet passage intersects with the seal space at an opening at which first and second sides are defined according to a flowing direction of a coolant. The seal space includes an inner annular surface having a first section adjacent to the first side of the opening. A guide slot is provided in the first section of the inner annular surface. With a pump ring in the seal housing rotating, the coolant is guided into the seal space via the coolant inlet passage and further discharged from coolant outlet passage through the opening smoothly due to the guide slot.

A seal segment (11) includes a seal body having a plurality of laminated thin plate seal pieces (20), and a high-pressure side plate (23). The high-pressure side plate (23) includes an outer diameter side edge portion (23b) which is an outer edge portion in the radial direction (Dr) and extends in a circular are shape in the circumferential direction (Dc), an inner diameter side edge portion (23c) which is an inner edge portion in a radial direction (Dr) and extends in a circular arc shape in the circumferential direction (Dc), and a front edge portion (23d) which is an edge portion on a front side in the rotational direction (Bc). The high-pressure side plate (23) further includes a reinforcing portion (40) only in a region of the high-pressure side plate (23) on the front side in the rotational direction (Bc).

A seal segment includes a retainer extending in a circumferential direction of a rotary shaft on an outer circumferential side of the rotary shaft; a first seal body which has a plurality of first thin plate seal pieces extending inward in a radial direction from the retainer and laminated in the circumferential direction; a high-pressure side plate; a low-pressure side plate; and a second seal body having a plurality of second thin plate seal pieces which are laminated at an end portion of the retainer in the circumferential direction, extend inward in the radial direction, and have fluttering resistance higher than the first thin plate seal piece. The high-pressure side plate and the low-pressure side plate cover at least a part of the second seal body in the circumferential direction.

Embodiments of the invention provide a pump having a motor, a housing, a seal plate coupled to the housing and including a seal plate hub with mounting supports, an impeller arranged within the housing, a coupling assembly coupling a motor shaft and a pump shaft, and a seal and jacking assembly including a mechanical seal and a seal gland. The seal gland is removably coupled to the mounting supports and includes threaded jacking apertures extending axially through the seal gland, each configured to receive a jacking element. When the seal gland is decoupled from the mounting supports, the seal gland is moveable axially between a first position whereat the seal gland engages the mechanical seal and a second position whereat the seal gland engages a retaining ring coupled to the pump shaft in response to rotation of the jacking elements received within the pair of threaded jacking apertures.

A device is disclosed including a wear ring formed as a hollow cylinder with an inside diameter and an outside diameter. The hollow cylinder may have multiple holes through at least a portion of the wear ring from the inside diameter towards the outside diameter. The multiple holes may be passages between the inside diameter and the outside diameter that allow fluid under pressure to pass between the inside diameter and the outside diameter through the multiple holes.

A sealless magnetic drive pump features in improving the stiffness of a stationary shaft. More particularly, the metal magnetic drive pump has an anti-corrosion casing liner. The magnetic drive pump is used in manufacture processes related to corrosive fluid. The pump is especially used in a highly corrosive and high-temperature (up to 200 C.) condition to improve the stiffness of a front support. The stationary shaft includes a metal front support integrated with the pump casing at a pump inlet and encapsulated with a resin enclosure made of a fluoropolymer; a rear shaft seat positioned on a sealed bottom side of a containment shell for offering auxiliary support for the stationary shaft; an impeller including a channel for reducing an inlet flow velocity to offer a low NPSHr.

The invention relates to a magnetic drive pump (10), comprising: a housing (12) filled at least partially with a conveyed fluid; an impeller chamber (14) enclosed by the housing (12); a pump shaft (22); an impeller (24) which is arranged in the impeller chamber (14) and on the pump shaft (22); a bearing (26) which supports the pump shaft (22) in the housing (12); a can (18) which encloses a coupling chamber (20); a rotor (50) which is arranged in the coupling chamber (20) on the pump shaft (22); a ring (16) held in the housing, which supports the bearing (26) and separates the impeller chamber (14) from the coupling chamber (20); a duct (28) formed in the ring (16) for conveying a partial flow of the conveyed fluid out of the impeller chamber (14) to the bearing (26) for the purpose of lubricating the bearing (26), wherein at least part of the conveyed fluid emerging from the bearing (26) arrives in the coupling chamber (20). The object of the invention is to improve a magnetic drive pump of this type such that safe and reliable lubrication of the bearing (26) of the pump shaft (22) over a certain time is also still ensured when the pump (10) is operating in dry-run condition, i.e. when it continues running when there is no more conveyed fluid on the suction side of the pump (10). The invention achieves this object in that the coupling chamber (20) is closed in fluid-tight manner relative to the impeller chamber (14).

A centrifugal pump with a cutter mechanism has a toothed cutter auger affixed to an impeller, and a toothed cutter stator affixed to the volute casing. The auger is a rotor cutter preferably profiled radially to match the inlet geometry of the impeller vanes while extending along its central axis towards the pump suction. The auger is preferably radially concentric to the impeller and includes vanes numbered preferably to match the number of vanes on the impeller. The auger is affixed to the impeller, preferably with a lockscrew threaded into a common pump shaft. The radial profile of the auger essentially makes a continuous vane with the impeller, and prevents solids from hanging on the inlet vane tip or center void while providing a smooth flow transition into the impeller.

An improved leak resistant pump with sealing system for preventing leakage of a fluid from a housing. The sealing system has a housing, wherein the housing contains the fluid. A shaft penetrates the housing. A narrow fluid flow path directs a leaked fluid from the housing. A labyrinth seal constrains the leaked fluid from the narrow fluid flow path. A stationary seal constrains a flow of the leaked fluid from the labyrinth seal and a grease seal for constraining the flow of the leaked fluid from the stationary seal.

A turbopump includes a slinger that has a first section and a second section. The first and second sections are disposed substantially radially in a fluid circuit. The second section is downstream of, and radially inward of, the first section. A housing is located downstream and adjacent to the first section of the slinger and radially outward of the second section of the slinger.
