A fluid pump assembly is provided. The pump has a pair of units magnetically coupled to each other. The first unit contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second unit contains a magnetic assembly and a blade of a propeller/impeller for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first unit is activated by the drive motor, a magnetic flux is created which in turn rotates the magnetic assembly in the second unit, driving the blade.

A boundary layer turbomachine can include a housing defining an interior space and having an inlet opening and an outlet opening to facilitate movement of a fluid through the housing. The boundary layer turbomachine can also include a rotor assembly disposed in the rotor chamber and configured to rotate about an axis of rotation. The rotor assembly can have a plurality of disks spaced apart along the axis of rotation and defining an interior opening along the axis of rotation. The fluid can pass through gaps between the disks and the interior opening as the fluid moves through the housing.

A centrifugal pump to improve the efficiency of fluid flow, and minimize long term wear on the pump by progressively increasing fluid pressure as fluid moves from an eye of an impeller towards diffuser blades, into the volute and out through an outlet that is medio-laterally aligned with an inlet. The fluid pressure is increased by progressively increasing the volume through which the fluid travels. A tear-drop shaped volute casing surrounding the diffuser and impeller creates a pocket of maximum pressure just below the outlet. A dampener dampens the vibration of the motor. A cylindrical basket strainer is provided with a flat face abutting against the volute casing to distribute pressure evenly. A clamp ring is provided to easily seal and access the basket strainer using a plain rod.

A centrifugal pump for conveying a fluid includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet for the fluid. An impeller is arranged in the housing for rotation in an axial direction to convey the fluid from the inlet to the outlet, a shaft extends in the axial direction for driving the impeller, and a stationary guide device for guiding the fluid from the impeller to the outlet is connected to the housing. A resilient compensating element is disposed between the housing and the guide device, is arranged around the shaft, and holds the guide device in a centered position to the impeller during a radial relative movement to the housing.

A centrifugal pump component for an oil and gas well pump includes a substrate with an outer surface configured to contact oil and gas well fluid. The component further includes a coating formed on at least a portion of the outer surface. The coating includes a combination of hard particles and a metal matrix.

The object of this invention is to create the elements necessary to supply lifting energy in flowlines or recipients containing motionless fluids. The invention provides a motive force through hollow shafts or hollow stators inside a streamlined housing having a rotor comprised of two concentric and coplanar arrays of external and internal blades working together as pump and turbine on the same plane. To operate, the artifact requires a source of fluid supply acting as motive fluid to boost a static or relative slow-motion fluid. The motive fluid travels from an internal hollow shaft toward an external hollow shaft, or from a scroll case throughout hollow stators to an internal array of blades to induce movement on the rotor. The present invention is designed to be used in different locations for different applications in different positions, to support the transportation of fluids. It operates with any fluid supply such as gas or liquid or a mix of both. The artifact does not require direct sources of electrical power.

A multistage centrifugal grinder pump includes a grinder to grind a fluid, a first stage impeller, a second stage impeller, a stationary diffusor arranged between the first stage impeller and the second stage impeller to guide the fluid from the first stage impeller to the second stage impeller and a shaft to rotate the first stage impeller, the second stage impeller and the grinder. The first and second stage impellers in series and connected to the shaft in a torque-proof manner. The diffusor is a semi-open diffusor having a top wall, a radially outer annular side wall, and an open bottom side facing the first stage impeller, the top wall arranged adjacent the second stage impeller, the top wall having a central outlet opening surrounding the shaft, and the open bottom side extending beyond the first stage impeller with respect to a radial direction.

A dishwashing appliance may include a cabinet, a tub, a fluid pump, and a wireless power transmitter. The tub may define a wash chamber within the cabinet. The fluid pump may be in fluid communication with the tub for motivating a flow of wash fluid from the tub when activated. The fluid pump may include a fluid impeller rotatably positioned in fluid communication with the wash chamber, and an electric motor in mechanical communication with the fluid impeller to motivate rotation thereof. The wireless power receiver may be in electrical communication with the electric motor. The wireless power transmitter may be spaced apart from the wireless power receiver in operable communication with the wireless power receiver to transmit an electromagnetic field thereto.

Provided are a flow guiding element, a heat collecting pump, and a dishwasher. The flow guiding element includes an annular portion and flow guiding pieces. The flow guiding pieces is connected to a periphery of the annular portion, and arranged in a circumferential direction of the annular portion. Each of the flow guiding pieces spirals upwards in the circumferential direction of the annular portion.

A fluid pump assembly is provided. The pump has a pair of units magnetically coupled to each other. The first unit contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second unit contains a magnetic assembly and a blade of a propeller/impeller for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first unit is activated by the drive motor, a magnetic flux is created which in turn rotates the magnetic assembly in the second unit, driving the blade.
