Computers are generating even more heat nowadays as the processing power improves by leaps and bounds thus the issue of just how to keep the machines cooled (especially those which handle the resource-hungry gaming applications) has been sparking some interest of late. The Flowserve Guardian 3000 pump is one solution designed for use in high-end consumer personal computers. 'Measuring approximately 90 mm (3.54 in) in length and 36 mm (1.42 in) in diameter, the Guardian 3000 is the smallest pump ever developed by Flowserve. While the largest pump ever built by Flowserve has an impeller diameter of 4.24 m (13.9 ft) and would fill an Olympic size swimming pool in 25 seconds, the Guardian 3000 has an impeller diameter of less than an inch and would take nearly three minutes to fill a kitchen sink.
