Dickow har även utvecklat icke metalliska spaltkåpor
QT = cooling flow, const.
pE = suction pressure
P0 = impeller outlet pressure
= pE + 0,8 x differential pressure
P2 = pressure at sleeve bearings
P3 = rear impeller inlet pressure
P4 = inlet pressure, magnets p4 > p0
pR = pressure rise by rear impeller
Pshell = containment shell pressure
pPp = pump differential pressure
