Abstract:
A pump unit immersible in the liquid of a well, comprising a liquidtight motor, a pump housing with an outlet connection and guiding means which, on lowering of the pump unit, guide the outlet connection into the vicinity of a fixed coupling unit of the outlet pipe. The pump unit having a seating while the outlet connection has a tapered aperture fitting thereto, so that the connection, after the unit has been essentially lowered, can be brought up against the coupling unit, into sealing engagement with the seating, essentially in the axial direction of the coupling unit. The seating surfaces being spherical to allow for slight misalignment.
Abstract:
Non-return valve for positioning in a pipe socket and having a flap member rotatable around a shaft. The shaft is arranged in a plane at a given distance from the plane of the flap, whereby the flap in an open position is passed circumfluently by the medium flowing through the valve.
Abstract:
An immersible centrifugal pump unit which when lifted out of and lowered into a liquid is steered on a guide. The pump has a liquid outlet with a connecting flange parallel to the guide. The flange is sealed against a flange of an outlet pipe when the pump is submerged and brought into contact with the outlet pipe. A gripper on the pump engages the flange on the outlet pipe to hold the pump flange against the flange of the outlet pipe. The uppermost part of the opposing flange surfaces are at a level not higher than the lowermost point of engagement of the gripper and the flange of the outlet pipe.
Abstract:
A guiding device for pumps lowerable in a shaft, in which the guiding device is arranged to be torsioned, inclined or otherwise formed in such a way that the associated pumps, in conjunction with raising or lowering, are given also a lateral movement, and in which the paths of the pumps are arranged to diverge during their lowering and converging during their raising.
Abstract:
A sealing ring for face seals comprises a supporting ring, a hard material ring and a rubber ring bonded both to the supporting ring and to the hard material ring, the hard material ring and the rubber ring being bonded to one side of the supporting ring whereby the supporting ring is capable of dissipating the heat of friction. The supporting ring has a substantially L cross-sectional shape and the hard material ring can be either ceramic or sintered carbide.
Abstract:
Sealing ring for slide-ring seals, composed of a hard material ring and a supporting ring, the supporting ring and the hard material ring having an essentially radial surface of contact with one another, the supporting ring and the hard material ring being held together by means of a resilient collar or sleeve at the supporting ring, which sleeve is rolled or pressue-turned against the hard material ring and thus holds it to the supporting ring.
Abstract:
A fish-breeding pond is covered with a highly insulating floating layer so as to effectively diminish the losses of heat to the atmosphere and thus with the aid of the heat of the soil to maintain the temperature of the water rather above 5* C., at the same time achieving an effective supply of oxygen through aeration of the water.
Abstract:
An aerobic method for purification of sewage water taking place at a sludge temperature above the ambient temperature, according to which method sludge is at first sedimented and then passed to a reactor vessel of small size, which vessel is insulated against loss of heat to the surroundings and in which vessel the sludge is subjected to exothermic oxygenation, while retaining the reaction heat generated.
