MAINTENANCE REDUCTION FOR LUBE OIL PUMPS

PUMPS

The fleet is plagued with leaking lube oil pumps due to mechanical shaft seal failures. Correction programs have resulted in improved shaft sealing techniques however, there continues to be a leakage
problem on most classes of ships.
The ultimate solution is to eliminate the mechanical shaft seal. This has been proven to be a very successful solution and has additional benefits of eliminating the motor to pump coupling, which further reduces maintenance.
The newly developed Canned Lube Oil Pump is the solution.
It combines the proven screw pump design with the proven Oil-Through motor design. The resulting compact pumping unit is substantially smaller and lighter than the legacy unit. The motor is cooled by a portion of the oil, that is being pumped to the system. This eliminates the motor cooling fan and eliminates grease packed motor bearings, further reducing maintenance.
A comprehensive factory and shipboard testing program has demonstrated that this new unit will eliminate oil leaking from lube oil pumps, thus will reduce shipboard maintenance substantially.
