Abstract:
A fluid conducting system with cathodic corrosion protection is provided for at least one device that influences and/or acts upon a flow rate, such as a pump and/or valve. The device includes at least one connection device such as a device connection flange. At least one flow rate guiding device such as a pipe includes a connection means such as a pipe connection flange. The system includes annular anodes arranged between the connection devices and connection means, where anodes are electrically connected by electrical conducting lines to a monitoring device. The internal diameter of the anodes is preferably equal to the internal diameter of the flow rate guiding device and/or the inner diameter of the inlet and/or outlet of flow influencing device.
Abstract:
A pump housing made of plastic sections is provided. The housing includes a first casing that has a first side facing the region in which a pumped medium will flow, and a second casing that has a second side facing the environment. The pump housing's first casing and second casing are both dimensionally stable, with a space between the first casing and the second casing. A filler material such as a self-expanding foam may be provided in the space. The pump casings may be standardized components, and multiple casings may be assembled to form pump housings to suit a particular application.
Abstract:
A rotor for a reluctance machine is provided. The rotor includes a soft magnetic element which is cylindrical in shape. The soft magnetic element has recesses forming flux barriers. At least part of the recesses are filled with an electrically conducting and magnetically non-conducting filler material such that a starting cage is formed in a peripheral region of the rotor. The ratio of the surface of the filled region of the flux barriers to the surface of the region of the unfilled flux barriers is at least 0.2 for at least one rotor cycle.
Abstract:
A rotor for an electrical machine, in particular synchronous reluctance machine, is provided. The rotor is formed as a cylindrical structure having a magnetically soft element formed with an even number of salient magnetic poles openings for forming magnetic flux barriers. The openings are at least partially filled with a diamagnetic and/or paramagnetic medium and the diamagnetic and/or paramagnetic medium may axially and tangentially fix the magnetically soft element relative to the rotor. A method for producing such a rotor and apparatus using the rotor, including a reluctance motor, in particular a synchronous reluctance motor, that uses the rotor are provided.

Abstract:
An arrangement for compensating the axial thrust of a fluid-flow machine is provided. A load-relieving element is non-rotatably connected to a shaft. A flow-restrict gap is formed by the load-relieving element and a counter-element secured to a housing of the fluid-flow machine. The counter-element is provided with a device for maintaining the distance between the load-relieving element and the counter-element. The device includes at least one force-generating element that generates a force that acts in opposition to the axial thrust in order to avoid component contact.
Abstract:
A pump arrangement, particularly a magnetic clutch pump arrangement, is provided. The pump arrangement includes a containment can with a central longitudinal axis which hermetically seals an enclosed chamber with respect to the inner chamber formed by the pump housing. The containment can has a base with at least one bead extending into the inner chamber. The at least one bead is radially spaced from the central longitudinal axis of the containment shell by at least one defined distance relationship. A method for producing a such containment can for a pump arrangement is also provided.
Abstract:
A pump arrangement, in particular a magnetic clutch pump arrangement, is provided. The pump arrangement includes a pump housing containing an impeller shaft, an impeller, a casing cover adjacent to the impeller and supporting a plain bearing arrangement. The pump arrangement also includes a containment shell which seals an enclosed chamber within the inner chamber of the pump housing. The plain bearing arrangement includes first and second bearing sleeves connected to the impeller shaft, a first bearing bush which cooperates with the first bearing sleeve via a radial bearing surface and is connected to the pump housing or to a component secured to the pump housing a second bearing bush which cooperates with the second bearing sleeve via a radial bearing surface and is connected to the pump housing or to a component secured to the pump housing, and a retainer ring mounted between the first and second bearing sleeves. The retainer ring has, in the end surface facing the first bearing bush a first annular groove which receives a first axial bearing ring, and in the end surface facing the second bearing bush a second annular groove which receives a second axial bearing ring.

A pump arrangement, in particular a magnetic clutch pump arrangement, is provided. The pump arrangement includes a pump housing containing an impeller shaft, a containment shell which seals an enclosed chamber within the inner chamber of the pump housing, an impeller mounted on one end of the impeller shaft, an inner rotor mounted on the other end of the impeller shaft, an outer rotor which is mounted on the drive shaft and co-operates with the inner rotor, and an auxiliary impeller mounted in the chamber adjacent to a domed base of the containment can. The auxiliary impeller is secured to the inner rotor and includes vanes and impeller channels for circulation of media.
