Abstract: A sealing ring provides a fluid seal between a first flange and a second flange. The sealing ring forms a tubular element and includes a tapering wall member defining an interior funnel-shaped through-going opening extending axially and tapering from a proximal end to a distal end. The tapering wall member is made from a resilient material proving an axial deflection of the tapering wall member when exposed to an axial force.

Abstract: A centrifugal pump device has at least one impeller (16), a circulation connection between a delivery side (22) of the at least one impeller (16) and a suction side (20) of the at least one impeller (16), and a valve arrangement (30, 46) in said circulation connection (44, 54). The valve arrangement (30, 46) has a first valve mode providing a pressure dependent shut-off valve (46) in the circulation connection. The valve arrangement (30, 46) allows a change between the first valve mode and at least one further valve mode. The at least one further valve mode provides at least one fixed closing degree of the circulation connection (44, 54).

Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a pump (1) comprising
a rotor shaft (13) extending along a rotor axis (R),
a bearing body (19) circumferentially encompassing the rotor shaft (13) and comprising a radially outer bearing surface (32), and
a locking ring (25) circumferentially encompassing the rotor shaft (13) and limiting an axial movement of the bearing body (19) relative to the rotor shaft (13),
wherein the locking ring (25) comprises at least two radially inwardly protruding teeth (49, 51, 53, 55), wherein the locking ring (25) is radially expandable from a locking state to a mounting state against an elastic restoring force of the locking ring (25), wherein the locking ring (25) is, in the mounting state, positionable at a desired axial position on the rotor shaft (13), wherein the teeth (49, 51, 53, 55) are configured to press, in the locking state, against a radial outer surface (31) of the rotor shaft (13) by the elastic restoring force of the locking ring (25).-

Abstract: A method for controlling operation of a fluid transport system by applying a self-learning control process. The method includes: receiving obtained values of input signals during operation of the system during a first period of time, which is controlled by a predetermined control process, automatically selecting a subset of the input signals based on the received obtained values of the input signals, receiving obtained values of at least the selected subset of input signals during a second period of time, which is controlled by applying the self-learning control process, which is configured to control operation based only on the selected subset of input signals, and wherein applying the self-learning control process includes updating the self-learning control process based on the received obtained values of the selected subset of the input signals and based on at least an approximation of a performance indicator function.

Abstract: A centrifugal pump assembly includes an electric drive motor (6, 8), a driven impeller (14) and a pump casing (2) which surrounds the impeller (14). A movable element (24; 24′) is arranged a valve element. A section of the valve element is movable from a released position into a bearing position, fixed on a contact surface (60), by pressure which is produced by the impeller in the pump casing. A control device (64) moves the valve element from one switching position into another switching position and reduces the speed of the drive motor. Upon pressure in the pump casing dropping such that the valve element is no longer fixed on the contact surface and the valve element has been moved into the other switching position, the control device increases the speed of the drive motor again. A method for moving a valve element is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a composite component (21) having a varying electric resistivity along a longitudinal direction of the component. At least a first paste (10a) having a first composition, and at least a second paste (10b) having a second composition are prepared. The pastes are transferred into a supply chamber (35) of a processing equipment (31), such as an extruder. A green body (20) is shaped by forcing the pastes from the supply chamber through a die (32), and the green body is then sintered or oxidized to form the composite component. The pastes may comprise metal powder, ceramic powder, and binder. The varying electric resistivity may be due to variations in one or more of the following parameters: the volume ratio between the metal powder and the ceramic powder, the size of the ceramic particles, and the type of the ceramic material.
