In the first article of this series Stan Shiels looked at the area of centrifugal pump hydraulic troubleshooting and addressed the results of a hydraulic performance assessment. When such an assessment is not possible, due to the inability to run the pump to obtain performance data, or any other rea

You can expect to receive long and successful operation from rolling element bearings, advises Stan SNels, but only if due attention is applied to a number of critical areas. ## R olling element (or antifriction) bearings, as applied to centrifugal pumps, have a life expectancy governed by five b
Presenting this new design, and one can even say new generation, of marine centrifugal pump leads directly to the question of the reasons for this development.
The double pivot bearings in the Gyro C1E3 centrifugal blood pump incorporate a high-purity alumina (Al2O3) ceramic and an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). This centrifugal pump has been developed as a completely sealless pump for long-term usage. The combination of Al2O3 and UHMWP
