Is circulating cold water being supplied to the pump support? ? ?

The process medium is boiler water, at a temperature of around 180 degrees. Cooling of the pump bearings – I’ve really never seen that before; what’s the purpose? Seeking guidance.
Agree with what was said above. Reduce base thermal expansion. Ensure alignment. But be sure to ensure that the water in the base can flow out properly; otherwise, if water remains there during winter, it will cause the base to crack
The fan bearing housing of our heat transfer oil furnace is also water-cooled.
The previous hot oil pumps all had supports. It’s new now; I didn’t notice. It should be to reduce the extent of thermal expansion and contraction. Reduce central variation.
First time meeting, learned *: lol
Reduce linear thermal expansion to prevent excessive thermal deformation, which could lead to uneven wear of the impeller and pump casing.
The temperature of this medium is 180 degrees, so there’s no need to cool the base support
A cooling base is needed only at around 300 degrees
