RADIALLY COUPLED PUMP SYSTEMS FOR PRESSURIZING FLUID IN CLOSED LOOP SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17840400 titled 'RADIALLY COUPLED PUMP SYSTEMS FOR PRESSURIZING FLUID IN CLOSED LOOP SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a pump system used to pressurize a fluid in a closed loop thermal transport bus.

  • The pump system includes an electric motor with a rotor shaft and a stator, generating a torque.
  • A pump with an impeller is used to increase the kinetic energy of the fluid.
  • A driver wheel is attached to the rotor shaft and connected to a follower wheel.
  • A co-axial magnetic coupling is used to connect either the follower wheel to the impeller shaft or the driver wheel to the rotor shaft.
  • The co-axial magnetic coupling includes an outer hub, an inner hub, and a barrier can to hermetically seal a portion of the pump system from the fluid.


Original Abstract Submitted

A pump system for pressurizing a fluid within a closed loop thermal transport bus is disclosed herein. The example of the pump system disclosed herein includes an electric motor including a rotor shaft and a stator, wherein the rotor shaft is to generate a first torque; a pump including an impeller coupled to an impeller shaft, wherein the impeller is to increase a kinetic energy of the fluid; a driver wheel attached to the rotor shaft, wherein the driver wheel is radially connected to a follower wheel; and a co-axial magnetic coupling to connect at least one of the follower wheel to the impeller shaft or the driver wheel to the rotor shaft, wherein the co-axial magnetic coupling includes an outer hub, an inner hub, and a barrier can, the barrier can to hermetically seal a portion of the pump system from the fluid.
