Abstract: A soft sensor for determining a frictional power of a mechanical seal by estimation has a data interface designed to receive data signals regarding a ring temperature of a sliding or mating ring of the mechanical seal and a medium temperature of the flow medium on the side of the mechanical seal facing the sliding ring and outside of a sealing gap between the sliding ring and the mating ring as an input variable of the soft sensor. The soft sensor is designed to estimate frictional power by evaluating the data signals using a heat flux model, the model configured to describe heat fluxes in the mechanical seal on the basis of a temperature difference between the ring temperature and the medium temperature, the model configured to deduce frictional power by way of the heat fluxes. The soft sensor is used with a pump and method for determining frictional power.

Abstract: A pump device has a drive motor, pump hydraulics, and a motor lantern, which is between the drive motor and the pump hydraulics, and an exchange set that can be guided through the motor lantern from an operating position to a removal position and can be removed from the removal position through a removal opening in the motor lantern. A transport device has a motor-operated/manual drive, wherein, the exchange set can be transported from the operating position to the removal position by the transport device. In a method for carrying out service in the pump device, a coupling member is released and the exchange set is moved from the operating position to the removal position by the motor-driven/manually driven transport device. The exchange set is guided through the removal opening in the motor lantern from the removal position into the other removal position to remove the exchange set.
