In numerous medical technology applications, water is much more than just a cooling or process medium. It serves as a medium for energy transfer, maintains a specific temperature, or is a component of highly sensitive fluid circuits. Even the tiniest gas bubbles can impair the function of the entire system.
SCHERZINGER develops high-precision gear pumps for degassing and circulating water in medical devices. Our pumps ensure a constant flow rate, support efficient degassing processes, and make a decisive contribution to the reliability of modern medical technology. Shock wave lithotripters, for example, use degassed water so that shock waves can be transmitted with virtually no loss and no air bubbles interfere with energy propagation.
In procedures such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), shock waves are transmitted into the body through a water cushion. Dissolved gases or air bubbles scatter the acoustic energy, promote cavitation, and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
That is why the water is continuously filtered, temperature-controlled, and degassed. This is the only way to ensure consistent energy transfer, reproducible treatment results, and reliable equipment operation.
Water degassing places special demands on the pump technology used. In addition to delivering precise flow rates, pumps must operate reliably over the long term and integrate seamlessly into the fluid circuit. Thanks to their precise flow characteristics, our pumps are ideal for degassing systems based on the vacuum or Venturi principle, as well as for closed water circuits in medical devices.
SCHERZINGER gear pumps offer key advantages in this regard:
Every medical system has its own specific requirements in terms of flow rate, pressure, temperature, and installation space. That is why SCHERZINGER does not develop standard products, but rather custom-designed pump solutions for each specific application.
Whether for water degassing in lithotripters, temperature control circuits, dialysis systems, or other medical fluid applications—our gear pumps are precisely engineered to meet the requirements of the entire system and offer the highest level of reliability over many years of continuous operation.
With decades of experience in the development of high-precision gear pumps, we support our customers from the initial concept through to the production solution. Together, we develop pump systems that integrate seamlessly into complex medical devices and meet the highest standards for precision, durability, and process reliability.
After all, wherever bubble-free liquids are critical to the performance of a medical device, every detail of the pump technology matters.
