  • Patent number: 11746795
    Abstract: A centrifugal pump device has at least one impeller (16), a circulation connection between a delivery side (22) of the at least one impeller (16) and a suction side (20) of the at least one impeller (16), and a valve arrangement (30, 46) in said circulation connection (44, 54). The valve arrangement (30, 46) has a first valve mode providing a pressure dependent shut-off valve (46) in the circulation connection. The valve arrangement (30, 46) allows a change between the first valve mode and at least one further valve mode. The at least one further valve mode provides at least one fixed closing degree of the circulation connection (44, 54).

  • Patent number: 9243395
    Abstract: A waste water lifting installation includes a collection container (2) and a flange plate (4) which is arranged on the upper side of the collection container (2) and on which a level switch (12) immersing into the collection container (2) is attached. At least one run-in pipe (22), departing from the flange plate (4), extends vertically downwards into the collection container (2) and has such a vertical length that the lower end (28) of the run-in pipe (22) is vertically distanced further from the flange plate (4) than a lower end of the level switch (14).
