[0026] The pump chamber of the pump casing 1 and the bearing 6 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the sealing cover 5, and the pump chamber of the pump casing 1 and the bearing 6 are separated by a cavity 5a formed inside the sealing cover 5. The cavity 5a plays a good role in heat preservation and heat insulation, thereby effectively reducing the heat transferred to the bearing 6 when conveying high-temperature fluid. This can extend the life of the bearing 6, thereby extending the life of the centrifugal pump, and improve the working stability of the centrifugal pump.
