Abstract: The heat exchanger, gas to fluid, consists of a cylindrical wall separating fluid from gas and a helical strip forming secondary exchange surfaces which carry additional heat exchange members forming tertiary heat exchange surfaces to increase the active surface and the heat transfer coefficient in the gas compartment.

Abstract: The spiral housing of a centrifugal pump which forms a unit with an electric motor and consists of two parts flanged together by screws evenly distributed over its circumference. The axis of rotation on the impeller forms a 45 degree angle with the axis of the inlet port and the axis of the outlet port. The two ports of the spiral housing can be mounted in at least two positions. In the first position, the axis of the outlet port forms a 90 degree angle with the axis of the inlet port forming a centerline pump. In the second position, the axes of the ports form a 180 degree angle forming an inline pump.

Abstract: The invention relates to reciprocating pumps for liquids and gases, especially fluid-solid dispersions containing abrasives. The cylinder is made from material which is harder than the abrasive particles of the fluid. This cylinder rotates around the piston, independent of the number of strokes per minute, so that a lubricating film is formed. This rotation prevents both contact between the piston and the cylinder and freezing of the piston within the cylinder.

Abstract: A fluid flow machine consisting of a stator, mounted underneath a hot water tank, and an armature-impeller unit arranged inside said hot water tank, being separated from said stator by a spherical, magnetically permeable separation wall, which generates a toroidal vortex inside the water tank. Said vortex conveys hot water from the upper region of the tank to its lower region until the whole tank is filled with water of a uniform temperature.
