Abstract

The pump comprises a casing; a statoric part stationarily housed in the casing; at least one impeller arranged for rotation in the casing. A process fluid path extends though the statoric part and the impeller. A bearing rotatingly supports the impeller in the casing and a bearing lubrication path is provided, to circulate a fluid flow through the bearing. A rotary screw integral with the impeller and rotating therewith when the pump is operating provides a pumping action on process fluid such that rotation of the impeller promotes process fluid circulation by means of said rotary screw through the bearing lubrication path.
