  • Patent number: 6554021
    Abstract: Apparatus for shock-like flushing in a liquid system, comprising an accumulating or blocking element (11, 12, 13) which upon supply of liquid from an inlet (7) is adapted to be set from a normal position to a flushing position accummulated liquid flows through an outlet (6B, 6, 6A) to a following section of the liquid system, and subsequently to be ret to normal position. The blocking element (11, 12, 13) is held in an inclined position (11′, 12′, 13′) by means of spring or weight load (21, 22, 23) until a certain level of accumulated liquid is attained, and the spring or weight load (21, 22, 23) is adapted to bring the blocking element (11, 12, 13) back from the flushing position to normal inclined position when a certain low liquid level is attained. The blocking outlet (6B, 6, 6A) respectively, through flexible tube sleeves (15, 14) which make possible the movement of the U-tube (11, 12, 13) between the two positions for accumulation and flushing, respectively.

  • Patent number: 6449781
    Abstract: An apparatus for shock-like flushing in a fluid system, comprising an accumulating or blocking element (13) which upon supply of fluid from an inlet (2) is adapted to be set from a normal position to a flushing position where accumulated fluid flows through an outlet (14) to a following section of the fluid system, and to subsequently be reset to normal position. The blocking element comprises a canal, duct or pipe member (13) with a rotational portion (17) at an upstream end and with a normal position for blocking and accumulating fluid in the canal, duct or pipe member (13). The blocking element is kept at an inclination in the normal position by means of a spring or weight load (15) until a certain level of accumulated fluid is attained. Further, the blocking element can be lowered to the flushing position. The spring or weight load (15) is adapted to bring the blocking element (13) back from the flushing position to normal inclined position when a certain low fluid level is attained.
