CIRCOR

Three Screw Pumps

Working Principle

  • One Power screw and two Idler screws running in the three precision bores in the housing or liner
  • Profiled Screws form a liquid tight seal between the threads
  • As the screws rotate, cavities are formed, where liquid gets trapped and conveyed from suction chamber to discharge chamber
  • The power rotor does not rotate the idlers. The hydraulic forces acting on screw flanks turn the idlers without torque thus reducing the friction
  • The idlers simply roll over the root diameter of power screw and float freely in housing/liner bores
  • A balance piston on Power rotor takes care of axial thrusts
  • Ball bearing is only for axial positioning of Rotor and safer operation of mechanical seal
