Abstract: The present invention relates to a modularized pump. The pump has end lids 12, 13 with an inlet and an outlet for pumped fluid, and at least two pump modules 7 sandwiched between the end lids 12,13. Each pump module includes a casing 1 with an enclosed volume 20 and at least two pump stages 6. At least one coolant inlet 10 and outlet and a separate power connection 16 for connection to a VSD is included in each module. Each pump stage 6 includes an impeller 5 with a rotor 4, a stator 2 surrounding the rotor 4, provided to drive the rotor and a can 3 between the impeller 5 and the stator 2.

Abstract: A pump for use with fluids having particulates has an inlet to allow the fluids into a chamber of the pump. The chamber has a direct flow path of at least one larger width than a side flow path, and has a movable blade and diffuser stack within the chamber. Power features of the pump cause the movable blade to impart a centrifugal force on the fluids within the chamber, while at least one protrusion located circumferentially with respect to the chamber causes the particulates of a direct flow path to gather or causes the particulates to divert from a direction associated with at least one cavity of the chamber.

Abstract: A stabilizing arrangement for a rotating shaft including a shaft being arranged substantially vertically in a machine so as to rotate during machine operation, first pressure delivery system for delivering a fluid pressure, in particular of a fluid circulating inside the machine, at a first location of the machine. First location is close to the shaft and part of first pressure delivery system is arranged at first location so as to exert a lateral pulling or pushing action on the shaft.

Abstract: A flow conditioning device for conditioning a wet gas stream having a plurality of liquid droplets and a gas flow is presented. The flow conditioning device includes a first segment including a first convergent section configured to break the plurality of liquid droplets from a first size to a second size. Further, the flow conditioning device includes a second segment coupled to the first segment and including a second convergent section configured to break the plurality of liquid droplets from the second size to a third size.
