Innovacera Ceramic Shaft For Pump
More informations,please contact CHARLIN(AT)INNOVACERA(DOT)COM
Innovacera are specialzied in supplying high precision Alumina
ceramic components for hot and cold water circulating
pumps
In addition to our established pressing and extrusion capability,
our leading-edge Ceramic Injection Moulding (CIM) facility
minimises the need for grinding, hence reducing overall
manufacturing costs for complex shapes by producing “as fired”
geometry with tolerances of +/- 3,**0rpm) in abrasive fluid
systems
- Zirconia,Alumina, being chemically inert and insulating avoids
both electrochemical and electrolytic action
- Silicon Carbide offers dry running endurance
Applications Include
- Domestic hot water circulators
- Pond, fountain and aquarium pumps
- Electric & hybrid vehicle cooling pumps
- Down-hole pumps for oil & gas
- Submersible pumps
- Dosing pumps
- Industrial and chemical pumps
- Geothermal heat pumps
Types of Pumps
Domestic pumps
Domestic pumps are primarily hot water circulators (central heating
pumps) used in residential and office buildings pumping hot water
from a central boiler system to radiators. The pump designs usually
incorporate an Alumina bearing with a Carbon thrust bearing.
Domestic appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines often
incorporate pump designs using Alumina/Carbon based seals.
Industrial pumps
Industrial pumps are used in pumping water from deep wells. These
pumps often use Alumina thrust bearings with a lapped or polished
working face, which are ideal for this application as they mate
with the Carbon thrust pad.
Submersible pond pumps for garden water features and
aquariums.
These typically use two Alumina bearings housed in the impellor and
magnetic rotor assembly, running on a stationary Alumina shaft. The
bearings are usually of wider tolerances than for circulating pumps
as the load and noise requirements are less demanding.
Hybrid vehicle cooling pumps
Automotive water pumps often use an Alumina ceramic/Carbon seal
assembly because of the Alumina's high wear and corrosion
resistance to anti-freeze solution. Advances in battery technology
are leading to ever more demanding thermal management systems. MTC
manufactures ceramic pump components which are a critical feature
for the cooling systems. The exceptional properties ceramic offers
provide electric and hybrid vehicles with the pump technology
necessary to circulate aggressive coolant through the Lithium-Ion
batteries.
Automotive water pumps
Automotive water pumps often use an Alumina ceramic/Carbon seal
assembly because of the Alumina's high wear and corrosion
resistance to anti-freeze solution.
Vertical pumps
Vertical pumps such as those used for pumping water above ground
into high-rise residential or commercial buildings often are
designed with precision-machined Alumina bearings
Hydrothermal and enhanced geothermal systems
Capturing the heat that is stored in the earth and use it to heat
our buildings is a growing trend. In the global search for low
Carbon energy alternatives, the need for a robust downhole pumping
system is critical. Innovacera Technical material solutions enable
efficiency and longevity at elevated temperatures associated with
downhole pump components. Ceramic shafts and bearings do not
experience material creep common with metals which leads to
significant deterioration of efficiency. Replacement and servicing
of pumps is a prohibitive as the pump is mission critical.
Desalination
Removing salts to produce a supply of water requires high
performing materials. MTC Stourport provides high purity Alumina to
precision ground tolerances to deliver maintenance free and
reliable operation. Ceramic material is significantly harder than
steel preventing corrosion from the very aggressive salt water. The
precision finish enables low friction operation which is essential
for optimising energy recovery systems.
