  • Patent number: 11264866
    Abstract: A pump arrangement includes an axial-flow machine and a drive to convey fluid mounted in a housing. The axial-flow machine is formed by at least one first rotor having permanent magnets, a shaft connected to the first rotor and a stator arrangement with stator teeth distributed concentrically around the shaft axis circumferentially and axially separated from the first rotor by an air gap. The stator teeth have axially-opposite end portions and a tooth core therebetween wound with at least one coil winding. The second end portion, turned away from the first rotor, of each stator tooth forms a tooth root joined to a back plate. The first rotor is an eccentric disk and on the side away from the stator arrangement has an eccentric cam, radially spaced from the shaft axis, and rotatably and torque-transmittingly connected to the drive. An axial-flow machine and a compressor includes the pump arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20160002941
    Abstract: A swimming pool water filtration unit includes: a plurality of shallow-bed sand filter modules that receive water from a swimming pool and discharge filtered water simultaneously via a pool water return conduit common to all modules. A valve arrangement associated with the filter modules: (i) selectively but simultaneously switching on and off of all filtered water flow from the trays, which takes place through the return conduit common to all trays, to the pool water return coupling of the tank; and (ii) enable backwash water flow into the individual filter trays in selectable order, preferably through the common return conduit, and opens a conduit for backwash water to pass to waste in a switching state where water flow to the pool water return coupling is blocked.
