Relying on the experience gained at the Solikamsk magnesium works, the earlier developed push-pull MHD pump has been updated and improved. This windingless MHD pump of external location is intended for pumping of liquid magnesium.

In the pump, transformer coils are made of a high-temperature wire. The coils are protected with a heat screen against the thermal radiation from the channel. The pump design involves the use of a special heat-insulating metal jacket that overlaps the pump channel and provides the transformer core and coils with additional protection against high temperatures. The jacket is also used to fix the channel, and the frame has a thermally insulated bottom, which protects the transformer coil against the possible thermal radiation from the furnace with liquid metal. The frame has two pillars that fasten the channel. The pillars are thermally insulated and, therefore, the pump channel and metal pipelines can be heated by electric current before operation.
