Abstract: A pump assembly with an electric drive motor is provided in which the rotor (10) is designed as a permanent magnet rotor. The rotor (10), at least in a part region of its axial extension (X), is formed as shaftless and made completely of a magnetizable material, and the magnet poles of the rotor (10) are formed by magnetization of the magnetizable material.

Abstract: A submersible motor is provided for a submersible pump, the motor being configured as a single-phase asynchronous motor, which includes a main winding (6), an auxiliary winding (8), and a starting device (10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22) for controlling the starting procedure of the submersible motor. The starting device for the control of the current feed of the auxiliary winding (8) includes at least one electronic switch (20) in the circuit of the auxiliary winding (8).

Abstract: The invention relates to a two-phase permanent magnet motor which is controlled by a frequency converter. The frequency converter is advantageously provided with a three-phase inverter having six switches that are controlled in such a manner as to minimize switching losses.

Abstract: The invention relates to a metering pump assembly for admixing a fluid reduction agent into an exhaust gas flow with a metering pump (2) for delivering the reduction agent and with a premixing device (39), in which in a mixing region (18), the reduction agent delivered by the metering pump (2) is mixed with a pressurized gas, wherein the metering pump assembly comprises a pump head with a central plate (40) in which at least the metering pump (2) and the premixing device (39) are arranged (FIG. 8).

Abstract: The invention relates to a dosing pump unit for mixing a liquid reducing agent with an exhaust gas flow by means of a dosing pump (2) which is connected, on the input side thereof, to a connection connectable to a reducing agent tank (4) and, on the output side thereof, to a pressure pipe (16) and a pipe (10) for returning flow back to said reducing agent tank (4), wherein a non-return valve (20) which is prestressed against a hydraulic pressure produced by the dosing pump (2) is arranged in the pressure line (16), the return pipe (10) is connected to the pressure pipe (16) upstream of the non-return valve (20) in the reducing agent flow direction and a first stop valve (12) for selectively closing the return pipe (10) is placed therein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a differential pressure sensor array comprising a differential pressure sensor which is inserted in a receiving space in the direction of the longitudinal axis thereof. At least one sealing element that separates the receiving space into a first and a second pressure zone when the differential pressure sensor is inserted is disposed on the differential pressure sensor and/or in the receiving space. The first pressure zone is embodied entirely in an area located between a peripheral surface of the differential pressure sensor surrounding the longitudinal axis and an interior wall of the receiving space which faces said peripheral surface. At least one section of the first pressure zone extends only across a subarea of the peripheral surface in the circumferential direction. Also disclosed is an associated differential pressure sensor.

Abstract: The centrifugal pump assembly comprises a device for separating gas from the fluid to be delivered, which is arranged on the suction side. The gas separation device is provided with an impact body (2) which at least partly is arranged in the suction-side flow path (11) of the fluid to be delivered, and on the housing side is arranged at a distance to the suction port of the pump.

Abstract: An impeller for a pump used for pumping liquid substances, such as waste water, said impeller containing at least one flow channel of a spatially curved shape, wherein the flow channel is of an evenly curved shape and, in the final portion of the channel, the flow channel meets itself, or another channel if the impeller has more than one flow channel. By using the impeller of the invention, a very high efficiency is achieved.
