Abstract: A controller for an underwater pump which operates to start and stop the pump in response to a water level detected by a water level sensor is disclosed. The controller (10) is constituted as a separate component which comprises a watertight case (11), a first connector (13) provided at a first predetermined position of the case for installation on a power connector (12) provided at a pump casing (51), a second connector (14) provided at a second predetermined position on the case, on which an external power connector (15) is to be installed, electronic parts and units (18, 19, 20) constituting a control circuit installed in the case for starting and stopping the pump based on signals output from the water level detection sensor (S1, S2, S3), and a cable (22) watertightly derived from the case externally for electrically connecting the control circuit and the water level sensor. The pump may be operated in an automatic operation mode. However, by removing the controller from the pump casing and the external power connector and by directly connecting the external power connector to the power connector of the pump, the pump may be converted to a non-automatic operation mode.

Granted: 1993-03-24
Abstract: The name plate consists of a transparent plastics film case for the inscribed strip. The case rear is composed of two partially overlapping sectors of different size plus a badge pin formed from an anchoring leg within the case and a connected outside leg. The pin is secured to the larger of the rear sectors. The edge of the larger rear sector (4,2) facing the smaller sector (3) should have two grooves (5,6) at least as deep as the sector overlap so that the pin is held in the grooves when the large sector is overlapped by the smaller sector (3). The small sector covers the grooves entirely apart from a narrow bottom part.

Abstract: 1. Heat exchange apparatus, in which solid particles are guided in an internal circuit. 2.1 In heat exchangers in which solid particles are guided for the purpose of tube cleaning in an internal circuit, so-called fluidised bed heat exchangers, problems arise during start up and in stationary mode, which are caused both by the particles themselves and by the influences on the tubular flow due to pulsations in the inlet chamber and outlet chamber. It is the object of the invention to improve the operational reliability and efficiency of such heat exchangers with the aid of simple structural means. 2.2 This object is achieved when for the purpose of forming an antechamber a perforated plate is arranged in the outlet chamber at a distance above the upper tube base and has at least one through opening which is separated from the antechamber by one or more separating plates.
