Abstract
A pump including a driving part and a pumping part, the pumping part including a plurality of generally parallel planar elements all mounted for rotation about a first axis, wherein the driving part is coupled to the pumping part by means of a magnetic coupling device such that rotation of the driving part may cause rotation of the pumping part about the first axis.
Claims12
A pump including a driving part and a pumping part, the pumping part including a plurality of generally parallel planar elements all mounted for rotation about a first axis, wherein the driving part is coupled to the pumping part by means of a magnetic coupling device such that rotation of the driving part causes rotation of the pumping part about the first axis.
An engine including a lubricant pump, the pump including a driving part and a pumping part, the pumping part including a plurality of generally parallel planar elements all mounted for rotation about a first axis, wherein the driving part is coupled to the pumping part by means of a magnetic coupling device such that rotation of the driving part causes rotation of the pumping part about the first axis.
A lubrication system for an engine including two lubricant pumps, one of which is a pump including a driving part and a pumping part, the pumping part including a plurality of generally parallel planar elements all mounted for rotation about a first axis, wherein the driving part is coupled to the pumping part by means of a magnetic coupling device such that rotation of the driving part causes rotation of the pumping part about the first axis, the pump being adapted to pump lubricant on start-up of the engine.
