Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0955466A1] The annular gap(17) in the pump's casing is formed between two plain bearing shells(19) made of extremely hard wear-resistant materials. The bearing shells form a first pressure reducing stage to which in the axial direction is connected a return device(21) directing the leakage from this first stage of sealing back into the supply circuit of the pump. A second stage(22) of sealing is located behind the first and is in the form of a simple lip seal and/or an axial face seal. An Independent claim is included for a screw pump in which the return device(21) is connected to the fluid feedback line(14).
