Abstract

The invention relates to a pump, in particular a centrifugal pump ( 1 ), with a pump housing ( 2 ), wherein a motor shaft ( 5 ), which is connected to a pump impeller ( 6 ) arranged in the pump housing ( 2 ), extends through a shaft passage ( 4 ) in a rear wall ( 3 ) of the pump housing ( 2 ) and is mounted in the rear wall ( 3 ) by a mechanical seal arrangement ( 8 ).

Claims (19)

1. A pump with a pump housing ( 2 ), wherein a motor shaft ( 5 ), which is connected to a pump impeller ( 6 ) arranged in the pump housing ( 2 ), extends through a shaft passage ( 4 ) in a rear wall ( 3 ) of the pump housing ( 2 ) and is mounted in the rear wall ( 3 ) by means of a mechanical seal arrangement ( 8 ), characterized in that a seal seat ( 9 ) of the mechanical seal arrangement ( 8 ) is formed in a ring-shaped protector ( 10 ) that is made from a corrosion-resistant material and is fixedly arranged in the shaft passage ( 4 ) of the rear wall ( 3 ), wherein the mechanical seal arrangement ( 8 ) comprises a sealing ring ( 11 ) and a counter ring ( 12 ) with a counter sealing ring seat ( 13 ), wherein the counter ring ( 12 ) is connected to the motor shaft ( 5 ) in a rotationally fixed manner, and the sealing ring ( 11 ) is arranged between the seal seat ( 9 ) and the counter sealing ring seat ( 13 ).

2. The pump according to claim 1 , characterized in that the pump housing ( 2 ) is designed as a casting.

3. The pump according to claim 1 , characterized in that the pump housing ( 2 ) has a corrosion-resistant coating ( 16 , 17 ), wherein the coating ( 16 ) covers a transition ( 20 ) between the rear wall ( 3 ) and the protector ( 10 ).

4. The pump according to claim 1 , characterized in that the protector has ( 10 ) has a radially outward facing, circumferential support flange ( 18 ) which is arranged on a front side ( 23 ) that faces toward the pump impeller ( 6 ) and by means of which the protector ( 10 ) is supported on the rear wall ( 3 ) in an axial direction.

5. The pump according to claim 4 , characterized in that on an inside ( 15 ), the rear wall ( 3 ) comprises a stepped support region ( 19 ) for the support flange ( 18 ) that extends farther in the radial direction than the support flange ( 18 ).

6. The pump according to claim 1 , characterized in that an inner border of the shaft passage ( 4 ) is chamfered.

7. The pump according to claim 1 , characterized in that the seal seat ( 9 ) is formed by a radially inward protruding circumferential collar ( 21 ) on a front side ( 22 ) of the protector ( 10 ), which front side faces away from the pump impeller ( 6 ).

8. The pump according to claim 1 , characterized in that the protector is ( 10 ) is pressed into the shaft passage ( 4 ) or is glued therein, or is held in the shaft passage ( 4 ) via mating threads.

9. The pump according to claim 1 , characterized in that the protector ( 10 ) comprises a bronze material.

10. The pump according to claim 1 , wherein the pump housing ( 2 ) is a gray iron casting.

11. The pump according to claim 1 , wherein the pump is a centrifugal pump.

12. A protector ( 10 ) for a pump, which protector is formed in a ring-shaped manner from a corrosion-resistant material, and which has a radially outward projecting supporting flange ( 18 ) on a first front side ( 23 ), and on a second front side ( 22 ), the protector has a radially inward projecting collar ( 21 ) that forms a seal seat ( 9 ).

13. The pump according to claim 12 , wherein the pump is a centrifugal pump.

14. The protector of claim 12 , wherein the corrosion resistant material is a bronze material.

15. A pump comprising a pump housing ( 2 ), wherein a motor shaft ( 5 ), which is connected to a pump impeller ( 6 ) arranged in the pump housing ( 2 ), extends through a shaft passage ( 4 ) in a rear wall ( 3 ) of the pump housing ( 2 ) and is mounted in the rear wall ( 3 ) by means of a mechanical seal arrangement ( 8 ), characterized in that a seal seat ( 9 ) of the mechanical seal arrangement ( 8 ) is formed in a ring-shaped protector ( 10 ) that is made from a corrosion-resistant material and is fixedly arranged in the shaft passage ( 4 ) of the rear wall ( 3 ), the ring-shaped protector formed from a corrosion resistant material and having a radially outward projecting supporting flange ( 18 ) on a first front side ( 23 ), and on a second front side ( 22 ), the ring-shaped protector has a radially inward projecting collar ( 21 ) that forms the seal seat ( 9 ).

16. The pump according to claim 15 , wherein the mechanical seal arrangement ( 8 ) comprises a sealing ring ( 11 ) and a counter ring ( 12 ) with a counter sealing ring seat ( 13 ), wherein the counter ring ( 12 ) is connected to the motor shaft ( 5 ) in a rotationally fixed manner, and the sealing ring ( 11 ) is arranged between the seal seat ( 9 ) and the counter sealing ring seat ( 13 ).

17. The pump according to claim 15 , wherein the pump is a centrifugal pump.

18. The pump according to claim 15 , wherein the pump housing ( 2 ) is a gray iron casting.

19. The pump of claim 15 , wherein the corrosion resistant material is a bronze material.
