Abstract: An air-cooled heat exchange system with channels containing a coolant, which system includes a row of rectangular heat exchange elements, which are connected edge to edge angled to and fro and contain the channels with the coolant. The row of heat exchange elements is arranged in a low, wide and long housing with open ends, which is arranged to be flown through by a cooling air flow. The row of heat exchange elements extends, partly crosswise the flow direction of the cooling air flow between two low side walls attached to the side walls and to the roof and bottom, partly in the longitudinal direction of the housing mainly a distance between the inlet and outlet openings, which distance is essentially longer than the height of the housing and the open ends.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating a pulp slurry of waste paper including long fibers, short fibers and large and fine impurities includes the step of spraying the slurry through a gaseous medium upon a screen to separate long fibers and large impurities from small fibers and fine impurities.

Abstract: A separation device for suspensions comprises a housing (1), a filter body (3) with a wall of filter material situated in the housing, spray means (14) adapted to spray jets of a suspension to be separated directly onto one side of the wall of filter material, and means (4, 6) for displacing the filter body relative to the spray means. According to the invention the filter body forms a substantially circular cylindrical drum (3) with a vertical center axis, the circumferential wall of the drum comprises said wall of filter material. Further, said displacement means (4, 6) is adapted to turn said cylindrical drum about said vertical center axis during operation.

Abstract: A suspension containing fine and coarse particles is sprayed under high pressure by way of spray nozzles (10) against a rotating filter medium (7), so that the suspension is separated into a fine fraction, which passes through the filter medium and which contains said fine particles, and a coarse fraction, which does not pass through the filter medium and which contains said coarse particles. According to the invention the filter medium (7) is rotated by way of a drive motor (6) at a speed such that coarse particles and liquid developing on the side of the filter medium are removed from the filter medium substantially as the result of the centrifugal force the coarse particles and liquid are subjected to. In consequence the filter medium is efficiently kept clean during operation, which increases the capacity and improves the separation efficiency.

Abstract: A fibre suspension is separated by a filter device having a hollow filter body (1) with a wall (2) of filter material, and a container (3). The entire fibre suspension to be separated is sprayed in the form of at least one liquid jet onto said wall (2) to force a fine fraction of the suspension containing most of said undesired particles through said wall of filter material into the hollow filter body, thereby leaving a created coarse fraction of the fibre suspension mainly containing fibres in the container outside the filter body. Relative displacement between the liquid jet and the filter material is provided. Said created coarse fraction is dewatered through the wall of filter material, and said dewatered coarse fraction is discharged from the container.

Abstract: A device for fractionating pulp suspensions has a series of vertical filter sheets attached to a horizontal shaft. Suspension is sprayed against the sheets to effect a separation of coarse and fine solids. Cleansing liquid is also sprayed against the sheets to keep the filter holes open and the fabric sheets are movable with respect to the sprays.

Abstract: In a hydrocyclone plant for separating a fiber pulp suspension into a light phase and a heavy phase, comprising at least two hydrocyclones (1, 2) connected in series, there is provided a device (20) arranged both for degassing a first stream of separated heavy phase coming from one of said hydrocyclones (1) and a second stream of liquid supplied to dilute the first stream, and for mixing said two streams before they are supplied to the other one of said hydrocyclones (2).
