Abstract: A method (200) for ascertaining an air volume provided by means of an electric air pump (134) in an exhaust system (120) of an internal combustion engine (110), including detecting at least one activation parameter (5) of the air pump and ascertaining (220) a provided air mass flow rate (8) on the basis of a calculation specification from the at least one activation parameter (5) by utilizing an inertia of the air pump (134) and/or an inertia of the air upstream and/or downstream from the air pump (134) and/or a differential pressure from upstream from the air pump to downstream from the air pump. In addition, a processing unit and a computer program for carrying out a method (200) of this type is provided.

Abstract: A chain tensioning arrangement for a column pipe which is configured to house a submersible pump. The chain tensioning arrangement includes a radially extending cross beam, a spring arrangement connected to the cross beam, at least one spring member, and an arm that is movably connected to the cross beam. The arm includes an engagement member configured to optionally engage a chain connected to the pump. The arm is displaceable in the axial direction between a lower position and an upper position. The spring member is arranged to displace the arm in the direction from the lower position towards the upper position. Also described is a pump station including a column pipe, a submersible pump arranged in the column pipe and an axially extending chain connected to the pump and configured to move the pump in the column pipe.

Abstract: A pump station includes a tank and a pump unit that is lowerable into the tank. The tank has a bottom and a peripheral wall extending from the bottom, and the peripheral wall has an inlet for incoming liquid flow and an outlet for outgoing liquid flow. The pump unit includes a cross beam and a pump connected to the cross beam. The inside of the wall of the tank presents a set of axially extending guide members, which set includes at least a first guide member arranged to receive and guide a first end of the cross beam and a second guide member arranged to receive and guide a second end of the cross beam.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a cylinder with a combustion chamber delimited by a reciprocating piston that drives a crankshaft rotatably supported in a crankcase. The internal combustion engine has an intake passage, an exhaust connected to the combustion chamber, a device supplying fuel, and a control device controlling at least one operating parameter of the internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is operated in that a pressure is measured in operation of the internal combustion engine, an adjustable value for at least one operating parameter of the internal combustion engine is deteremined based on the measured pressure, and the determined adjustable value is set for optimized running of the engine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary tube mill and to a method of comminuting lumpy mill feed material, in which at least a first and a second grinding chamber as well as a co-rotating partition disposed between the grinding chambers are used. The material ground in the first grinding chamber is divided in the partition into first and second part-quantities of mill feed material, whereby at least a part of the second part-quantity of mill feed material proceeds into the second grinding chamber and at least the first part-quantity of the mill feed material is discharged separately from the tube mill.

Abstract: Piston sealing and dampening device in a pressurized-fluid cylinder, where a piston (3) has a central recess (3a) facing towards a cylinder end cap (1a) and disposed such that when the piston is in the vicinity of its end position, said recess accommodates a sleeve portion (5) provided with an internal pressurized-fluid connection (6) and projecting from the cylinder end cap. An integrated sealing ring (10) seals against the outside of the sleeve portion (5) with an inner sealing ring lip (10e) and against the inside of the cylinder tube (2) with an outer sealing ring lip (10c).
