Abstract: A reversible fluid pump, such as a screw pump, includes a housing defining a first chamber and a second chamber sealed from the first chamber. The pump further includes a pressure relief mechanism configured to limit excessive pressure during operation of the pump in either direction. The pressure relief mechanism includes at least one fluid passage providing fluid communication between the first chamber and the second chamber, and at least one check valve associated with the fluid passage. The check valve is configured to open when pressure in one of the chambers exceeds a predetermined pressure threshold to permit fluid flow from the higher-pressure chamber to the other chamber through the fluid passage. In this manner, excess pressure in either chamber can be relieved while the chambers remain sealed from each other during normal operating conditions. The pressure relief mechanism thereby reduces the risk of overpressure and improves operational reliability of the reversible fluid pump.

Abstract: According to the disclosure, a detection apparatus for detecting a coupling state of a connection apparatus having a first and a second element to be connected to one another is provided. It comprises a signal device, wherein the signal device is configured such that the signal device indicates a digital change of state by means of a detection signal, in that an existing signal is deactivated and thus in particular a switch from 1 to 0 (deactivation) occurs or a signal is activated or produced and thus in particular a change from 0 to 1 (activation) occurs when a complete coupling of a first and a second element of a connection apparatus is achieved, so that, due to an omission of the signal or the newly produced signal, the detection signal is produced which indicates whether a final assembly position is achieved.
