  • Patent number: 5474515
    Abstract: When a screw-conveyor centrifuge is turned off and its rotation speed diminishes to the point where the centrifugal force is smaller than the force of gravitation, the liquid ring formed inside the centrifuge bowl under the centrifugal force collapses, and a detrimental discharge of liquid takes place at the solids discharge of the centrifuge. In accordance with the method of this invention, the rotation speed of the centrifuge bowl (2) and/or of the screw conveyor (4) is briefly abruptly changed immediately before this critical rotation speed is reached, so that the liquid ring is caused to spiral toward the liquid discharge openings (5) at the other end of the centrifuge (1) by the screw helices (3) of the screw conveyor (4).

  • Patent number: 5419298
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump element 15 is mounted in an engine crankcase (1) adjacent its associated cylinder 9, and in substantially parallel orientation thereto so that the high pressure outlet 20 of the injection pump element 15 is close to the injection valve 13 thus permitting a very short injection line 21. Mounting the fuel injection pump element 15 within the crankcase provides a very rigid mechanical support therefor. Use of a very short fuel injection line provides superior hydraulic rigidity as is required for achieving high injection pressures. A special bushing 31 with fuel passage may be used to mount the pump plunger bushing 19. The special bushing 31 may be made of high quality material of low porosity to add strength and avoid fuel leakage that may otherwise occur because of the porosity of the case iron crankcase.
