Multiducted electromagnetic pump
Abstract
Abstract AN APPARATUS FOR PUMPING CONDUCTIVE LIQUIDS IS DESCRIBED WHICH COMPRISES A SINGLE TOROIDAL ELECTROMAGNETIC PUMP STRUCTURE WHEREIN THERE ARE A PLURALITY OF PUMP PASSAGES WITH EACH PASSAGE HAVING A TWO PUMP DUCT SANDWICH THEREIN. EACH PUMP DUCT HAS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH A PLURAL TUBE HEADER ASSEMBLY CONNECTED TO ITS INPUT AND OUTPUT PORTIONS. EACH TUBE OF THE PLURAL TUBE HEADER ASSEMBLIES IS ELECTRICALLY INSULATED FROM ADJACENT TUBES THEREBY MINIMIZING THE BYPASS CURRENT FLOW. CURRENT FLOW THROUGH EACH TWIN PUMP DUCT COMBINATION IS IN A COUNTER FLOW ARRANGEMENT TO MINIMIZE FIELD DISTORTION. THE SINGLE TOROIDAL PUMP STRUCTURE MAY THEREFORE COMPRISE ANY CONVENIENT NUMBER OF INDIVIDUAL PUMPS FORMED WITHIN THE COMPACT CONFIGURATION.
