    摘要: An energy storage system includes a vessel for storing water, an energy conversion device, and a connection line connecting the vessel with the energy conversion device. The energy conversion device includes first and second housings, a pump turbine in the first housing, and a motor generator in the second housing. The pump turbine includes a first shaft and an impeller mounted on the first shaft. The motor generator includes a second shaft and a rotor at the second shaft for rotating relative to a stator. The second shaft is coupled to the first shaft for transmitting torque between the first and second shafts. The connecting line connects a low pressure opening with an opening for receiving water or discharging water. The second housing is filled with a gas for a barrier pressure during operation of the energy conversion device, such that the rotor rotates within the gas.

    摘要: An axially split pump for a fluid includes an axially split housing with a bottom and a cover, a rotatable shaft, and a side cover. The side cover has a first surface for cooperating with a second surface. The second surface extends over the bottom and the cover. The bottom has a first sealing surface and the cover has a second sealing surface. The bottom and the cover can be fastened so that the sealing surfaces are in direct contact. One sealing groove is in one of the sealing surfaces for the reception of a string-like sealing element, the sealing groove extending up to the second surface. A recess surrounding the shaft is in the second surface and a projection surrounding the shaft is in the first surface. The recess and the projection are arranged so that they form a ring-like groove for the reception of a ring-like sealing element.

    摘要: A multiphase pump for conveying a multiphase process fluid includes a pump housing, a stationary diffuser, a rotor and swirl brake. The rotor is arranged in the pump housing and is rotatable about an axial direction, the rotor including a pump shaft and an impeller fixedly mounted on the pump shaft. The stationary diffuser is arranged adjacent to and downstream of the impeller. The impeller includes a blade with the blade having a radially outer tip, and a ring surrounding the impeller and arranged at the radially outer tip of the blade. A passage is between the ring and a stationary part configured to be stationary with respect to the pump housing, the passage extending in the axial direction from an entrance to a discharge. The swirl brake is disposed at the passage, and configured and arranged to brake swirling of the process fluid passing through the passage.

    摘要: A pump for conveying a fluid includes a stationary housing, an impeller conveying the fluid from a low pressure region to a high pressure region, a shaft to rotate the impeller about an axial direction, and a separation device to restrict a flow of the fluid from the high pressure region to the low pressure region. The separation device includes a rotary part connected to the shaft, and a stationary part stationary with respect to the housing. The rotary and stationary parts face each other and delimit a gap between the stationary part and the rotary part. The gap is arranged between the high and low pressure regions. A recess is disposed in the stationary part or the rotary part, the recess including a bottom, and a non-metallic insert is disposed in the recess. A relief channel enables fluid communication between the bottom and the low pressure region.
