  • Multistage pump with axial thrust optimization
    Patent number: 11549512
    Abstract: A multistage pump with axial thrust optimization is disclosed includes a pump discharge nozzle and a bypass system coupled to the pump discharge nozzle. The bypass system includes a throttle valve operatively coupled to the pump discharge nozzle, and a bypass line provided at the multistage pump. The bypass line is conducts flow from the throttle valve to a clearance gap of an axial thrust balancing arrangement. The throttle valve may be actuated to adjust a balancing flow through the bypass line such that pressure at the clearance gap is adjusted to increase and decrease fluid pressure at the clearance gap to balance axial thrust at different operating states of the multistage pump.
