  • Patent number: 8132497
    Abstract: A hydraulic machine includes a casing with a body and a cover; a separation member which can make a reciprocating movement and defines two chambers; hydraulic switching elements including a distribution member; a compartment in the body of the casing connected to a pressurized-liquid inlet, and initiating elements including a pusher connected to the separation member, these initiating elements being able, at the end of the stroke, to cause a sudden change in the position of the switching elements, under the action of an elastic member to reverse the stroke. The distribution member has a distribution slide valve applied against a flat plate which is fixed relative to the body of the casing, the slide valve being able to slide in a fluid-type manner, without a seal, against the plate, which has orifices connected respectively to the chambers and to a liquid outlet orifice.

  • Publication number: 20070227961
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dosing device for introducing an additive (A) in to a main liquid flow (L) in a conduit comprising a reciprocating differential piston pump (2) which is used for collecting and dosing the additive (A) from a container (1) and comprises a first inlet (7) for receiving the main liquid flow which ensures the pump actuation, a second inlet (8) for collecting the additive and an outlet (9) for mixing the additive and the main liquid. The inventive device comprises a Venturi (10) disposed in the conduit and the pump (2) connected in parallel position with respect thereto, wherein the first inlet (7) of the pump is connected to the Venturi input (11) and the outlet thereof is connected to the Venturi throat (12).
