  • Publication number: 20170218977
    Abstract: A centrifugal electric pump includes a motor casing, containing in turn, an electric motor with a transmission shaft and a hydraulic part. The transmission shaft is connected to at least one impeller present disposed in the hydraulic part. The motor casing is provided internally with a housing in which the electric motor is accommodated. An external surface of the housing defines a cooling surface adapted to be flowed over by pumping liquid that arrives from the hydraulic part. The cooling surface is provided with a covering that is resistant to oxidation. The covering is constituted by a hydraulically isolating sheath, which is contoured to affect the cooling surface.
