Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3808984A1] A process fluid lubricated pump is proposed, having a common housing (2), a pump unit (3) arranged in the common housing, and a drive unit (4) arranged in the common housing (2), wherein the common housing (2) comprises a low pressure inlet (21) and a high pressure outlet (22) for the process fluid. The pump unit (3) comprises a pump shaft (5) extending from a drive end (51) to a non-drive end (52) of the pump shaft (5), and a first pump section (31) having a first set of impellers (311) fixedly mounted on the pump shaft (5). The drive unit (4) is configured for driving the rotation of the pump shaft (5). A first balance drum (7) is fixedly connected to the pump shaft (5) between the pump unit (3) and the drive end (51) and defining a first front side (71) facing the pump unit (3) and a first back side (72). A first relief passage (73) is provided between the first balance drum (7) and a first stationary part (26), the first relief passage (73) extending from the first front side (71) to the first back side (72). A second balance drum (8) is fixedly connected to the pump shaft (5) between the pump unit (3) and the non-drive end (52), the second balance drum (8) defining a second front side (81) facing the pump unit (3) and a second back side (82). A second relief passage (83) is provided between the second balance drum (8) and a second stationary part (27), the second relief passage (83) extending from the second front side (81) to the second back side (82). A balance line (9) is provided connecting the first back side (72) and the second back side (82).
