The balancing disc has a wear ring bolted to its face. The balance disc is removable and provides an easy way to replace the wear ring without removing the pump or dismantling the entire pump.

The wear ring thrusts against another wear ring bolted to the counter disc. This is a mechanism that prevents the rotating element from exceeding its travel which would result in loss of efficiency and later damage to the impellers. The two wear rings in a pump are made made of brass and the other steel respectively. The balance disc is removable and provides an easy way to replace worn wear rings without removing or dismantling the entire pump.

Balance disc opposes the axial thrust due to impellers when fluid is flowing and thus balances the force on the shaft of the pump.

What is the Function of economizer in boilers?

Basically . economiser is located in between exit of boiler and entry of air preheater. when the flue gases are coming out from boiler they take away a lot of heat. economiser utilize this heat from flue gases. and these heat is used to heat the feed water which is going to feed the bolier. hence by using economiser the coal consumption required to heat the feed water is reduced hence cost reduced.
