Publication number: 20050258270Abstract: A rotational atomizer turbine of the present invention is designed to drive a bell-shaped disk in a rotational atomizer for a coating unit. The rotational atomizer turbine includes a housing, a rotatable turbine wheel with several turbine blades connected to a shaft and rotatably disposed in the housing. A plurality of nozzles are defined in the housing and are positioned relative the turbine wheel to drive fluid, i.e. gas onto the turbine blades. An intermediate chamber formed in the housing is fluidly communicated with and connected to the nozzles to hold gas therein. The intermediate chamber has a first inlet to supply gas. At least a second inlet is defined in the intermediate chamber for delivering gas into the intermediate chamber thereby increasing amount of gas therein to multiply a rotational speed of the rotatable turbine wheel as increased amount of gas is introduced to the turbine blades.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2003Publication date: November 24, 2005Inventors: Hans Nolte, Harry Krumma, Frank Herre, Michael Baumann, Stefano Giuliano, Bjorn Lind

Patent number: 6857440Abstract: In a method for a safety valve plus such a safety valve, the safety valve has the form of a valve body axially displaceable in a cavity with an inlet on either side of which are arranged outlets, whereby liquid and/or gas flow takes place from the inlet and past the valve body via a flow path to the outlets. On the valve body side, the flow path is provided with a structure that raises the friction in relation to the liquid and/or gas flow between the inlet and outlets.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2002Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Assignee: Lind Finance & Development ABInventor: Björn Lind

Publication number: 20040164190Abstract: A turbine, e.g., with a blade arrangement, which receives an air flow in the radial direction and which is located on a carrier surface of the turbine wheel, is used as a drive motor for a rotary atomizer. The drive channel, which contains the turbine blades and which is limited by the carrier surface, is also closed on its other side by a cover element, which is attached to the turbine wheel and which rotates with the wheel for increasing efficiency. For an additional increase in efficiency, the inlet for the drive air of the turbine is configured as an ultrasonic nozzle with a cross section that expands continuously up to the opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2003Publication date: August 26, 2004Inventors: Michael Baumann, Frank Herre, Hans J.

Patent number: 4746229Abstract: The invention refers to a device for supporting and carrying, e.g. a centrifugal rotor. For making possible an adjustment of the rotor thus that any possible unbalance is eliminated as far as possible, the rotor is supported upon a supporting element, on which it is radially displaceable. Between the rotor and the supporting element is provided a bearing part. This is rotatable and displaceable laterally on the supporting element and carries the rotor with means, which incorporate deformable members, which allow a tilting of the rotor upon the bearing part.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1987Date of Patent: May 24, 1988Assignee: Aktiebolaget SKFInventor: Bjorn Lind
