Space pump for human hearts The same technology that powers the Space Shuttle into orbit may now help children, thanks to a tiny heart pump approved for implantation in young, critically ill patients. The pump helps patients who need a new heart survive until a donor heart is available. It is the first such device approved for use in children. Not much larger than a penlight battery, the pump is the result of two decades of NASA collaboration with Houston's Baylor College of Medicine. The effort grew to involve several NASA propulsion engineers as the team strove to miniaturize the pumping technology used in the desksized Space Shuttle main engine turbopumps. The team worked for years to solve problems such as

Grundfos results The Grundfos Group's 2003 year-end results show a positive trend in recent years has continued with sales growth of 4%, bringing global sales to more than £1 billion and a pretax profit increase 48%. Grundfos is particularly pleased with the results, given its investment in product development reached its highest ever level at more than £80 million and the adverse currency
impact in some core markets. 2003 saw Grundfos reported aggregate sales of more than 10 million pumps. Plans for 2004 include opening new sales companies and expanding production facilities in both Hungary and China and establishing production sites in India and Russia to ensure that the supply chains are in place to meet the continued strong growth.
John Crane supplies to textile market A new preferred supplier agreement secured by John Crane EAA makes John Crane the preferred supplier for all nonspecified sealing technology purchased by Huddersfieldbased Thomas Broadbent over the next five years. Broadbent designs and manufactures the specialized centrifuge decanters used to produce Pure Terephthalic Acid (PTA). Demand for PTA has continued to grow significantly, in line with the global market for the polyester textiles it is used to manufacture.
eliminating the blood clotting experienced with other heart pumps. The pump weighs less than 4 oz and is about the size of a pink-bevelled eraser — small enough to fit a child. The pump's three main components minimize blood-flow turbulence, guide direction and drive constant outflow. The only moving part is a single-rotating impeller that propels blood in a continuous flow.
Recently, the company has taken more than £12 million in centrifuge orders from PTA producers in the Far East and from this has generated an order for over £1.4 million of John Crane sealing technology, with further prospects that could promise much more business to follow in the future.
The pump has been implanted in about 240 adult patients, including 176 people involved in European trials that began in 1998. Heart specialists have seen patients live with the pump for as long as two years before receiving a donor heart. The pump also has been credited with allowing enough time for weakened hearts to repair themselves.
A joint venture between Lew Herbert Ott, manufacturer of metering and process pumps, and its Chinese partner Dalian Danai Pumps has been formed. Called Lewa Pumps Dalian, the company aims to be producing metering pumps for the Chinese market and, as a centre of competence, will be responsible for local, customer-oriented planning. This will include
This first order covers John Crane DRSM and RRSM mechanical seals and spares’ kits that will be installed mainly on Broadbent centrifuges destined for China. Other John Crane seals will be used on Broadbent equipment installed in India, Taiwan and Thailand. This will double the global installed base of Broadbent centrifuges fitted with John Crane mechanical seals, and will contribute towards an aftermarket spares opportunity worth £1.5 million over the period of the agreement. Further, John Crane's Marketing Manager/Gas Seal Specialist, Joe Delrahim, is to Present at International Conference of the Venezuelan Gas Processors Association Caracas, Venezuela. Delrahim will present a session detailing key factors necessary for achieving reliable and successful operation of dry gas seal technology.
Lewa Pumps Dalian founded customer relations and the engineering of metering pumps, process diaphragm pumps and packaged systems. Services and the supply spare parts will also be available. The company is starting with 50 employees in the Dalian industrial park, which also houses other joint ventures of European speciality pumps.
