A line shaft is a power driven rotating shaft for power transmission that was used extensively from the Industrial Revolution until the early 20th century. Prior to the widespread use of electric motors small enough to be connected directly to each piece of machinery, line shafting was used to distribute power from a large central power source to machinery throughout a workshop or an industrial complex. The central power source could be a water wheel, turbine, windmill, animal power or a steam engine. Power was distributed from the shaft to the machinery by a system of belts, pulleys and gears known as millwork.
Line shaft pump for extracting fluids from geothermal wells
A pipeline shaft pump for extracting fluid from a geothermal production well is proposed, wherein the geothermal production well includes an inner well surface, and wherein the pipeline shaft pump includes a drive unit and a hydraulic unit having a rotor, wherein the hydraulic unit includes: an inlet section for receiving fluid under suction pressure; an outlet section including a discharge head for discharging fluid under discharge pressure; and a riser pipe. The invention also proposes a method for installing the pipeline shaft pump.

Line shaft pump for extracting a fluid from a geothermal well
A line shaft pump includes a drive unit and a hydraulic unit. A riser tube of the hydraulic unit includes an outer surface and an inner surface, and is arranged vertically between an impeller section and a discharge head. An essentially impermeable lubricant retention tube is arranged within the riser tube and surrounds a line shaft, providing an essentially vertical channel delimited in a radial direction by the line shaft and the lubricant retention tube. A hydraulic section includes a centralizer to receive the riser tube, the centralizer is in intimate contact to the outer surface. Radial dimensions of the centralizer are smaller than radial dimensions of an inner well surface, and the radial distance between the outer surface and the inner well surface is essentially constant in all radial directions at an axial position of the centralizer, and the centralizer includes an additional axial through hole.
