Flowserve Guardian 3000 electronics cooling pump is designed to cool computer processors and graphics chips in high-end consumer personal computers.
Measuring approximately 90 mm in length and 36 mm in diameter, it is the smallest pump the company has ever developed. While the largest pump built by Flowserve has an impeller diameter of 4.24 m and would fill an Olympic size swimming pool in 25 sec., the Guardian 3000 has an impeller diameter of less than an inch and would take nearly three min. to fill a kitchen sink.
It addresses a daunting challenge facing manufacturers today – how to cool computer electronic components within limited dimensional, cost and power budgets. An overhung centrifugal, nonmetallic, magnetic-drive, seal-less pump, its patented motor technology and design achieve the small form factor necessary to fit microcomputer and other electronic package applications.
Is powered by a brushless 12-volt DC motor, designed for a minimum five-year maintenance-free life. Collaboratively designed and manufactured by the company's Memphis, TN; Vernon, CA; and Dayton, OH facilities, has successfully completed tens of thousands of hours of endurance testing and more than 40,000 cycles of on/off tests.
