Definitions

  • stater 54 is mounted in fluid inlet 12 by means of snap ring 56 and turbine 57 is positioned immediately below stater 54 and mounted on turbine drive shaft 58.
  • Turbine drive shaft 58 extends into gearbox 13 and is journaled by suitable bearing means 59 carried by bottom plate 61.
  • Bottom plate 61 is attached to gearbox 13 by conventional means, such as for example, a plurality of bolts 62 and is sealed by O-ring 63 to prevent entrance of fluid into gearbox 13.
  • Shaft bearing 78 is pressed into the lower end of sleeve portion 65 of cartridge 64.
  • Removable sleeve 81 is provided at the upper end of sleeve portion 65 of cartridge 64 for retaining upper shaft seal 79 and lower shaft seal 82.
  • removable sleeve 81 carries seal 83 which provides a seal between removable sleeve 81 and cartridge 64.
  • Removable sleeve is provided with passages 84 for providing communication between fluid discharge ports 71, passages 67 in sleeve 65 and shaft 58 whereby fluid leaking along shaft 58 is forced out through the aforementioned passages by rotation of shaft 58 and to the outside through opening 72 formed between stationary housing 1 1 and secondary rotary housing 14.
  • a source of fluid a stationary housing having a first interior passageway adapted to be connected to said source of fluid, a second housing rotatably mounted on said stationary housing for rotation about the axis of said stationary housing and having a second interior passageway communicating with said first interior passageway, a third housing rotatably mounted on said second housing for rotation about an axis normal to the axis of said stationary housing having a third interior passageway communicating with said second interior passageway, nozzle means communicating with said third interior passageway carried by said third rotary housing, said nozzle means being offset with respect to the axis of rotation of said third housing, drive means for rotating said third housing as said second housing rotates about said stationary housing, impeller means responsive to the flow of fluid through said first interior passageway, drive means in meshed relationship with said impeller means for rotating said second housing about the axis of said stationary housing, the improvement which comprises a first vertical shaft carrying a plurality of coaxially aligned spur and pinion gear assemblies, said spur and pinion gear assemblies being
