  • Publication number: 20190234526
    Abstract: A flush valve includes an inlet, an outlet and a valve arrangement. The valve arrangement includes a first chamber, a second chamber that is partly delimited by a diaphragm, a conduit extending between and connecting the first chamber and the second chamber, and a third chamber that connects the inlet and the outlet of the flush valve and that is partly delimited by the diaphragm. The third chamber includes a valve member configured to control a fluid flow from the inlet to the outlet based on the position of the diaphragm, and a control mechanism arranged in the conduit. The control mechanism includes a stepper and a plunger. The plunger is biased towards an inactive position and is displaced towards an active position by the second pressure [P2] in the second chamber when the second pressure [P2] in the second chamber is greater than a threshold value [PT].

  • Patent number: 10030670
    Abstract: A pump for pumping liquid, the pump including a drive unit and a heat sink arranged to carry off heat that is generated in the drive unit, the drive unit including a motor compartment that in the radial direction is delimited by a motor casing and that accommodates an electric motor having a stator, a coupling compartment that at least partly is delimited by a pump top casing and that accommodates a power supply component, an upper partition that is arranged between the motor compartment and the coupling compartment. The motor casing includes an outer jacket that is connected to and that in the axial direction extends between the upper partition and the heat sink, an inner stator housing that extends between the stator and the heat sink, and a gas filled gap that in the radial direction separates the outer jacket and the inner stator housing.

  • Patent number: 6446975
    Abstract: The invention concerns a seal device for a submersible machine, such as a pump or a mixer. The seal device is designed as an easily replaceable unit comprising two mechanical face seals (4,6) and (5,7) resp. with an intermediate room for a barrier liquid in which a pump for circulation of said liquid is arranged. A spring housing (10) which serves as a uniting means for the seal device is provided with connecting means for the rotary seal rings (4) and (5) resp. and acts as a hub for impeller vanes (16) in said circulation pump.

  • Patent number: 6345928
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device for mutual locking of two concentric cylindrical parts such as parts to be used in a submersible pump unit. One outer part (10) and two inner parts (6) and (7) are locked mutually by help of a circumferential locking element (12) having resilient abilities and which is arranged at the intersectional point between the three parts (6), (7) and (10).
