outward by the rotating impeller (7). In the flow passage of the pump casing the
kinetic energy of the fluid is converted into pressure energy. The fluid is pumped to
the discharge nozzle (2), where it leaves the pump. The clearance gap (1) prevents
any fluid from flowing back from the casing to the suction nozzle. At the rear side of
the impeller, the shaft (4) enters the casing via the casing cover (3). The shaft passage
through the cover is sealed to atmosphere with a shaft seal (8). The shaft runs in
rolling element bearings (9 and 10), which are supported by a bearing bracket (5)
linked with the pump casing and/or casing cover.
