Thermal Stress

Thermal stress refers to the effect of temperature on components and materials within a pump system, which can influence their mechanical properties, performance and service life. It is caused by the pumping temperature of the medium, frictional losses or external environmental influences. 

High temperatures can lead to material fatigue, expansion or deformation, while low temperatures increase the brittleness of materials. To minimise thermal stress, temperature-resistant materials, unique cooling systems, or constructive measures ensure heat distribution and reliable pump operation, even under demanding conditions.
