Aulank Vortex Pump Structure & Key Components

Exploded view of Aulank AYDH liquid nitrogen magnetic vortex pump showing magnetic coupling, isolation sleeve, impeller, and cryogenic-optimized structure

Aulank AYDH liquid nitrogen pump (magnetic vortex pump) adopts a magnetic-drive regenerative pump structure. The assembly consists of the pump cover, regenerative impeller, pump body, shaft sleeve, inner magnet, isolation sleeve, outer magnet, support base, and motor system. Torque is transmitted through magnetic coupling between the inner and outer magnets, fully isolating the drive side from the fluid side and eliminating shaft penetration, which reduces leakage and sealing failure risks in cryogenic conditions. The structure is optimized for liquid nitrogen and other ultra-low-temperature fluids, maintaining stable high-head, low-flow performance at temperatures down to -196°C, making it suitable for cryogenic circulation, low-temperature testing, and safety-critical LN₂ systems.

Understanding Vortex Pumps in Industrial Applications

What Is a Vortex Pump?

A vortex pump is a dynamic pump designed to generate high head at low flow rates through peripheral energy transfer. Compared with centrifugal pumps, vortex pumps are more suitable for compact systems requiring stable pressure under variable operating conditions.


Typical Selection Scenarios for Vortex Pumps

Vortex pumps are commonly selected for systems that require:

  • High pressure with limited flow demand
  • Compact installation space
  • Stable pressure output under fluctuating system resistance


Vortex Pumps vs Other Pump Types

Pump TypeCore CharacteristicsTypical Applications
Vortex PumpHigh head, low flow, compactPrecision systems, high-pressure auxiliary
Centrifugal PumpLarge flow, lower headStandard transfer, circulation
Positive Displacement Pump Stable flow, high differential pressure Dosing, viscous media

Working Principle of Vortex Pumps

Vortex pumps generate pressure by repeatedly accelerating fluid along the impeller periphery. This allows pressure to build up progressively, achieving high head output even at low flow rates.


Operation and Maintenance Considerations

Stable operation depends on:

  • Proper duty point selection
  • Temperature rise control
  • Avoidance of prolonged dry running
  • Clean media and stable inlet conditions
