Publication number: 20210246646Abstract: A wastewater-lifting system and a method for operating a wastewater-lifting system guides wastewater loaded with bulky materials into a bulky material collection tank having at least one separating screen. During intake of wastewater, the bulky materials are retained in the bulky material collection tank and pre-cleaned wastewater passes into a liquid collection tank via a connection line and one or both of a pump and a bypass line connected to the connection line. During the wastewater intake a pivoting flap in the connection line closes flow to the pump except for a flushing cross section, and opens the bypass line. During a pumping operation, the pivoting flap opens the connection line from the pump and closes the bypass line.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2019Publication date: August 12, 2021Inventors: Michael BECKER, Juergen GEINITZ, Thomas PENSLER

Patent number: 9995033Abstract: A wastewater-lifting system is provided. The wastewater-lifting system includes at least one bulky-material-collecting vessel for wastewater loaded with bulky materials which is guided therethrough, a liquid-collecting vessel for the wastewater which is freed from bulky materials and precleaned in the bulky-material-collecting vessel, and with a wastewater shaft for accommodating the bulky-material-collecting vessel and the liquid-collecting vessel. The liquid-collecting vessel and the wastewater shaft have at least one common wall surface. The liquid-collecting vessel defines a closed-off space with only a partially covered base surface in the wastewater shaft, and is equipped for this purpose with at least one wall surface independent of the wastewater shaft.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: KSB AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Becker, Enrico Mueller, Thomas Pensler, Maik Ulmschneider

Patent number: 8277115Abstract: A guiding device for submersible motor agitators having a guiding tube and a sliding carriage for carrying a submersible motor agitator. The guiding tube is held in a pivotable lower mount and in an upper mount composed of a bracket and an adjusting lug, and the angular position of the guiding tube can be adjusted via the adjusting lug. The sliding carriage, the adjustment lug and any optional connecting lug are dimensioned in such a way that the sliding carriage carrying the submersible motor agitator can be removed from the guiding tube without disassembling the guiding device.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2010Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: KSB AktiengesellschaftInventors: Thomas Pensler, Juergen Geinitz

Patent number: 6343909Abstract: A centrifugal pump with an impeller which has a single helically-formed blade and which is not sensitive to sand abrasion or seizing of the impeller is achieved by providing the impeller (1) with a shielding plate (3) arranged on the suction side which transitions from an axial course given at the suction inlet of the impeller into a radial course, by providing that the blade entry angle (&bgr;1) in the area which is in danger of cavitation in the event of an abrupt onset of flow is at least 5° smaller than the angle of incident flow (&bgr;0), and thereafter the blade angle &bgr; in the axial region of a meridian section through the impeller (1) increases at least to the magnitude of the blade exit angle (&bgr;2), and finally a blade angle (&bgr;) exceeding the blade exit angle (&bgr;2) in the radial area of the meridian section decreases back down to the magnitude of the blade exit angle (&bgr;2).Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2001Date of Patent: February 5, 2002Assignee: KSB AktiengesellschaftInventors: Peer Springer, Wolfgang Kochanowski, Christian Haag, Thomas Pensler

Patent number: 5605434Abstract: An impeller of a centrifugal pump for transporting dirty liquids has transport elements, for example back-vanes or grooves disposed on the pressure side of a cover disk. The transport elements are arranged asymmetrically and are limited to one arc sector of the cover disk to create a transverse stream that rotates with the impeller. Solids which have penetrated into the space to the side of the wheel are carried out by this stream in the direction of the transport elements.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1995Date of Patent: February 25, 1997Assignee: KSB AktiengesellschaftInventors: Christian Haag, Christoph Jaeger, Wolfgang Kochanowski, Thomas Pensler, Rolf Witzel
