Abstract: A gas jumper arrangement for a coke oven is composed of adjacently arranged coke oven chambers each having a gas opening with rims at the top portion thereof. The gas jumper arrangement overlaps gas openings of two adjacent coke oven chambers by one lid chamber each. The two lid chambers are connected in a duct-like manner by a gas jumper pipe and lids covering the gas openings during filling of a coke oven chamber are displaceable from an opened position into a closed position and settable into a rotational movement within the lid chambers by an actuation device. In order to ensure the tightness of the gas openings at the rims thereof even at larger pressure fluctuations and to enable the introduction of inert gas into the gas jumper arrangment, both the lid and the rim of each gas opening includes valve-face type sealing surfaces that mate with each other when pressed against each other in the closed position of the lid. A feed line for supplying an inert gas runs into the gas jumper arrangement.

Abstract: In a centrifuge device whose purpose is in particular the separation of amalgam from waste water generated in dentist' offices, the following is provided in order to improve the determination of the filling level in a collecting tank downstream from a centrifuge, to obtain better utilization of the container volume, to reduce the residual moisture in the separated solids, and to simultaneously eliminate the repumping means which operate between the collecting tank and the centrifugal. The collecting tank is detachably attached to a centrifuge drum and rotates together with the centrifuge, with measures being taken for separating the clean-water space from the centrifuge drum, there is also provided a transport container which can be detached from the device together with a collecting tank, which container can, when the collecting tank is in it, be closed by means of a cover which, when it is not in use, is detachably attached to the transport container.
