Abstract: The invention relates to a device for generating a pulsating hydraulic fluid pressure in a working chamber (1) filled with hydraulic fluid, comprising a driveable working piston (4) movably guided in a hollow working cylinder, wherein a working chamber (1) that is in fluid communication with the working piston (4) is provided, such that, by means of the movement of the working piston (4) within the hollow working cylinder, a pulsating hydraulic fluid pressure can be generated in the working chamber (1).

Abstract: A method for performing an NMR measurement on a sample contained in a sample tube by using an NMR spectrometer includes: a) feeding a first measuring sample tube in a guiding direction to a pre-measuring area being located, in the guiding direction, before a measuring area of the NMR spectrometer, the pre-measuring area being arranged and designed for measuring a sample parameter of a sample contained in the first measuring sample tube to determine or to estimate an NMR parameter; b) feeding the first measuring sample tube in the guiding direction towards the measuring area; c) setting the NMR parameter previously determined or estimated; and d) carrying out an NMR measurement of the sample contained in the first measuring sample tube on the basis of the set NMR parameter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to diaphragm pump (1) having a delivery chamber (3) and a working chamber (5), wherein the working chamber can be or is filled with a hydraulic fluid and is operatively connected to a pressure generating device in order to apply an oscillating pressure to the hydraulic fluid, further comprising a diaphragm (11) having at least one diaphragm layer (13) and a diaphragm core (15), which separates the delivery chamber (3) and the working chamber (5) from each other, wherein the diaphragm (11) is or can be operatively connected to a diaphragm return device (17) comprising a pull rod (19), which applies or can apply a return force on the diaphragm (11) in the direction of the suction stroke position, and further comprising a storage chamber (21) for holding the hydraulic fluid, and wherein the working chamber (5) and the storage chamber (21) are connected to each other by means of a return flow channel (25) closed by means of a closure element (23, 23?), and wherein the closure element

Abstract: A diaphragm pump includes a pumping chamber, suction and pressure connections, a working chamber filled with a hydraulic fluid, a device for applying an oscillating pressure P1 to the hydraulic fluid, and a diaphragm separating the pumping chamber and the working chamber moveable between a pressure stroke position and a suction stroke position. A storage chamber accommodates hydraulic fluid at a pressure P2. The storage chamber and the working chamber are connected to each other by a valve having a closing part. The diaphragm cannot move too far beyond the pressure stroke position. The diaphragm is coupled to the closing part so that the valve is opened when the diaphragm moves from the pressure stroke position to a position that is farther from the suction stroke position than the pressure stroke position.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a diaphragm pump comprising a delivery chamber separated from a hydraulic chamber by way of a diaphragm, wherein the delivery chamber is respectively connected to a suction connection and a pressure connection and the hydraulic chamber which can be filled with a working fluid can be acted upon with a pulsating working fluid pressure and the diaphragm can be reciprocated between a pressure position in which the volume of the delivery chamber is smaller and a suction position in which the volume of the delivery chamber is larger.

Abstract: The invention relates to a diaphragm pump, comprising a pumping chamber, a suction connection and a pressure connection, which are both connected to the pumping chamber, a working chamber, which is filled with a hydraulic fluid, a device for applying an oscillating pressure pi to the hydraulic fluid, a diaphragm, which separates the pumping chamber and the working chamber from each other and can be moved back and forth between a pressure stroke position and a suction stroke position, wherein the volume of the pumping chamber is smaller in the pressure stroke position of the diaphragm than in the suction stroke position of the diaphragm, and a storage chamber for accommodating hydraulic fluid at the pressure p2, wherein the storage chamber and the working chamber are connected to each other by means of a valve having a closing part.

Abstract: A system for remediating groundwater contaminated with halogenated solvents, certain metals and other inorganic species based on catalytic reduction reactions within reactive well bores. The groundwater treatment uses dissolved hydrogen as a reducing agent in the presence of a metal catalyst, such a palladium, to reduce halogenated solvents (as well as other substituted organic compounds) to harmless species (e.g., ethane or methane) and immobilize certain metals to low valence states. The reactive wells function by removing water from a contaminated water-bearing zone, treating contaminants with a well bore using catalytic reduction, and then reinjecting the treated effluent into an adjacent water-bearing zone. This system offers the advantages of a compact design with a minimal surface footprint (surface facilities) and the destruction of a broad suite of contaminants without generating secondary waste streams.
