Canned Motor Pump

Canned Motor Pump

Canned Motor Pump

(OP)
Dear Sirs,

i have received a process data sheet for a canned motor pump..

in this document should i find the indication of containment/control system and the indication of cooling system for bearings??

i think yes, but i'm very doubtful...

thanks

RE: Canned Motor Pump

I assume you mean a can pump. Look one up on google and then you'll have some idea what one is. Containment /control ??. Cooling system for can pumps is normally the process fluid.

Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way

RE: Canned Motor Pump

Don't see many canned motor pumps these days, but they still are out there. Some will have circulating loop for a lubricating fluid, some won't, it depends on what you're doing with it.

RE: Canned Motor Pump

My fault. Never heard of canned motor before. Delete previous post.

RE: Canned Motor Pump

A "process" data sheet usually only contains hydraulic data required by the process. Mechanical design details should come from the manufacturer or from set of end-users specifications for a canned motor pump.

DOn't see many at all these days is right; mostly replaced by sealless/ mag drive pumps. I was told it is too hard to get that marriage between a pump and motor manufacturer required to update the old designs.
