  • Patent number: 10288080
    Abstract: The disclosed invention modifies existing centrifugal pump design by replacing a compression seal with a mechanical seal and lubricant reservoir. The mechanical seal creates a sealed chamber to lubricate the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is covered in a shaft sleeve that facilitates the flow of lubricant to and from the sealed chamber. This improvement provides independent lubrication to the centrifugal pump to protect against seal failure.
