  • Patent number: 11806837
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for producing high-strength CO2 pellets from CO2 snow, in particular, for a cleaning device for blasting surfaces to be treated with a mixed-flow consisting of a compressed gas and CO2 pellets, including a main compressing device for compressing CO2 snow for forming CO2 pellets, further including a pre-compressing device for pre-compressing CO2 snow produced by expanding liquid CO2, wherein the pre-compressing device is in the form of a fluid-mechanical pre-compressing device, wherein the pre-compressing device includes an expansion device for producing CO2 snow from liquid or gaseous CO2 and a pre-compression chamber for receiving and pre-compressing the produced CO2 snow and wherein the expansion device and the pre-compression chamber are connected to one another in fluidic manner.

  • Patent number: 8991004
    Abstract: A cyclone separator for a suction cleaning appliance is provided, including a separating container for separating cleaning liquid drawn in by suction, with an inlet through which suction air and cleaning liquid can be drawn by suction into an interior of the separating container, thereby forming a cyclone, a suction extraction line extending into the interior and connectable to a suction unit, with an outlet through which suction air can be drawn out of the interior, and a partition wall shielding the outlet from cleaning liquid, a space being provided between an inner wall of the separating container and the partition wall. The cyclone separator can include at least one transfer element arranged between the partition wall and the inner wall for transferring cleaning liquid from the partition wall to the inner wall, the transfer element bridging the space except for a maximum remaining space of 2 millimeters.
