  • a delivery end member 138 is provided also, this member being formed as part of the casing 112 of the highest pressure stage. This member 138 is a sliding fit in the branch vessel 160.
  • a resilient and slidable sealing means 148 such as a sliding packing or O-rings is housed in an annular passage 152 defined between the end member 138 and the branch essel 160, the sealing means 148 being held against movement out of this housing by a ring fitted 150 in a radial recess in the member.
  • sealing means in the form of a piston ring 156 held in a radial groove formed in the end member downstream of the sealing means 148 is provided and a tapping 168 through the branch vessel is provided in communication with the space between the sealing means and piston ring so that leakage of fluid past the sealing means can be detected.
  • the stages of the pump of this second embodiment are held together by the delivery pressure acting upon a portion of the delivery end cover 142 and the delivery end member 138 and forcing the stages into closer engagement with each other and with the inlet end member 136, sealing means 132 being provided between each stage casing.
  • lugs are provided on the stages through which tie bolts 134 can be fitted to connect a stage with the next adjacent stage.
  • the flow of incoming hot or cold water passes in a symmetrical manner through the annulus 162 and the stages so that all pressure walls are treated uniformly in the circumferential and axial aspects thus minimising distortion and almost eliminating differential movement at the sliding joints.
  • the assembly of the pump of this second embodiment is similar to that of the first embodiment, that is the stages with the end members and end covers are assembled on the shaft but this assembly is fitted axially into the tie frame from the end thereof remote from the branch vessel 160.
  • increase in delivery pressure causes not only a closer inter-engagement between the stages and the inlet end member but also a closer engagement of the self sealing delivery end cover 142 with a branch vessel flange 146.
  • FIG. 3 a pump having similar features to that of the first and second embodiments is shown, this pump however being assembled and dismantled through the delivery end of the tie frame.
  • inlet end cover and member and branch vessel are quite similar to those of the pump of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2, they will not be described in detail and have been given the same reference numerals on the drawing.
  • the casing of the highest pressure stage defines the delivery end member 138, which in operation is also subjected to delivery pressure and tends to slide towards the inlet end member 136, movement without leakage being permitted by seals 148 and 156.
  • the delivery end cover 142 in this embodiment, is bolted on to the end of the branch vessel by bolts 142a to enable the assembly of shaft, stages, end plates and inlet end cover to be introduced to the interior of the barrel and branch vessel from the delivery end, this requiring the use of an erection cradle.
  • the pumps described above offer the advantages previously obtainable only from expensive barrel type pumps, for example, it has a very rigid pump casing which can carry large pipework loads and moments, it has the ability to withstand thermal shock and it provides the facility of removing the assembly of stages on the shaft without disturbing delivery and inlet pipework. Furthermore the pump is relatively economic when compared with normal barrel type pumps. In the normal barrel type pump, for example, the barrel which contains the stages is designed to withstand pump pressure and consequently the construction thereof is expensive.
  • a further important advantage of the pumps described above is the elimination of thermal distortion and the very high thermal stresses which may be involved in previous pump designs, when hot liquids are pumped.
  • the pumps of all the embodiments achieve this by providing a non-pressurised tie frame or a tie frame which is subjected only to inlet pressure which withstands only modest loads, for example, mechanical end loads particularly hydraulic axial loading on the end covers caused by the delivery pressure acting over the area of each stage, and in the case of the tie frame of the second embodiment, in addition by the relatively low inlet pressure; and by permitting the assembly of stages to expand and contract axially independently of the barrel.
  • the complete pump is suspended at or near its centre line by a system of keys and bolts to maintain correct alignment with the driver under all pressure and thermal conditions.
  • the integral construction of the barrel and branch piece and its attachment by bolts and keys to a bed-plate or foundation provides a rigid structure capsule of resisting the loadings imposed on the pump by the piping due to thermal and pressure conditions.
  • this embodiment has the advantage that the thrust bearing which is preferably situated at the delivery end of the shaft, is closer to the balance disc or drum.
  • the assembly of shaft, casings etc. may include two half casings clamped together by a splitting flange in a plane containing the shaft axis.
  • a resilient member 180 in the shape of a conical washer is interposed between an extension from the highest pressure stage diffuser 44 (144) the delivery end cover 42 (142).
  • this member 180 On assembly this member 180 is compressed so that after assembly, on attempting to return to its original undeformed state it tends to force the delivery end cover 42 (142) and the assembly of stages and inlet end cover away from each other and out of the barrel 26 126).
  • interstage bolts 34 (134) may be dispensed with.
  • a multi-stage centrifugal pump including a plurality of stages each of which includes a casing and an impeller rotatable therein, the pump including a shaft having an impeller of each stage mounted thereon, a tie frame carrying pump inlet and delivery connections, and including means surrounding said casings to define an annular passage therearound whereby said casings are subjected to only suction pressure, fluid communication means to connect said annular passage with said pump inlet connection, an inlet end member and a delivery end member, said annular passage extending between said delivery end members and enclosed by said tie frame so that during operation the delivery end member and said plural stage casings as interposed between said inlet and delivery end members are urged together in a direction towards the inlet end member by the delivery pressure acting on the delivery end member, holding means being provided to hold the inlet end member against movement relative to the tie frame in said direction, and seal means being provided between the delivery end member and the tie frame to permit relative movement therebetween.
  • a pump as claimed in claim 1, wherein said seal means between the delivery end member and the tie frame comprises a sliding packing.
  • a pump as claimed in claim 1 further including additional seal means in the form of a piston ring being provided downstream of said seal means between the delivery end member and the tie frame.
  • a pump as claimed in claim 1 further including a resilient member interposed between the highest pressure stage and the delivery end member, said resilient member tending to force the highest pressure stage and delivery end member away from each other.
