  • Patent number: 10415589
    Abstract: A pump housing made of plastic sections is provided. The housing includes a first casing that has a first side facing the region in which a pumped medium will flow, and a second casing that has a second side facing the environment. The pump housing's first casing and second casing are both dimensionally stable, with a space between the first casing and the second casing. A filler material such as a self-expanding foam may be provided in the space. The pump casings may be standardized components, and multiple casings may be assembled to form pump housings to suit a particular application.
