LA Series Electromagnetic Liquid Metal Pumps
CMI Novacast's LA series 3-phase linear annular induction pumps are constructed of
stainless steel. The metal flows through the annular space between
two concentric tubes, the inner of the two containing a magnetic core, through which
the lines of a moving radial magnetic field are looped. The field is developed by a
3-phase stator around the tube. The flow of induced currents is circular, within the
annular space, cutting the lines of the field. An axially exerted force then results,
moving the liquid metal through the pump. Thermocouples are provided to monitor
temperature, and cooling is provided to prevent damage to the components during
operations up to 600 degrees Celsius.
