Abstract:
A turbomachine includes a housing including a fluid path, and a first stage arranged within the housing. The first stage includes a first plurality of airfoil members and a second plurality of airfoil members. A second stage is arranged within the housing relative to the first stage. The second stage includes a third plurality of airfoil members and a fourth plurality of airfoil members. A flow improvement system is associated with each of the first and second stages. The flow improvement system establishes a predetermined clocking of each of the first plurality of airfoil members relative to corresponding ones of each of the third plurality of airfoil members, and each of the second plurality of airfoil members relative to each of the fourth plurality of airfoil members. The predetermined clocking is configured and disposed to improve flow characteristics along the flow path.

Abstract:
A sanitary insertion unit which has a sealing ring (1) with a sleeve-shaped extension (2), the free end region of which extension (2) has a head (3) which protrudes circumferentially and, when the extension (2) is inserted into an associated line section, can be deformed at least in regions in such a manner that the head (3) of the extension (2) is placed onto the inner circumferential wall of the line section (5). The invention also relates to a sanitary insertion unit which has a flow regulator or is designed as a flow regulator, the outer circumference of the housing of which flow regulator bears a clamping edge region for, in particular, sealing and clamping the flow regulator between two interconnected line sections, wherein the flow regulator bears a sleeve-shaped extension, the circumferentially protruding head of which, produced from elastic material, can be deformed, when the extension is inserted into a line section, in such a manner that the head is placed onto the inner circumferential wall of the line section. Finally, the present invention is also concerned with a shower fitting having a line section which is configured in the form of a shower connection and in the line interior of which one of the above-described insertion units can be inserted.
Abstract:
A sanitary outlet armature having a water outlet with an outlet opening bounded by an inner circumferential wall of the outlet armature, at which inner circumferential wall an internal thread or similar receptacle is provided, in which a sleeve-shaped outlet orifice having an external thread or similar mating receptacle can be threaded in or attached, an insert cartridge being inserted and/or threaded into the outlet orifice, said cartridge including a jet regulator. The outlet orifice supports at least one sealing ring on the circumferential wall thereof, this ring radially or axially sealing between the outer circumferential wall of the outlet orifice and the inner circumferential wall of the outlet armature. The outlet armature allows a reduced production effort and easier maintenance, without sacrificing functionality and seal tightness in the area of the outlet opening.
Abstract:
A flow rate regulator (1) having a regulator housing (2), wherein said regulator housing (2) has an outer circumferential edge region (5) that can be placed on an end circumferential edge region (3) of a jet regulator (6) and/or of a sieve (11) and including a central annular gap (12), in which an annular throttle body (13) made of elastic material is present, bounding a control gap (15) between same and an inner and/or outer circumferential wall (14) of the annular gap (12) having a control profile, wherein the open flow-through cross-section of said control gap is changeable under the pressure of the flowing water. The flow rate regulator (1) according to the invention is characterized in that said regulator has a shell-shaped regulator housing (2), the outer circumferential edge region (5) of which is designed as a radially outwardly protruding ring flange, and in that the inner shell chamber (18) of the regulator housing (2) open to the outlet side is dimensioned for receiving a sub-region of the sieve (11) protruding past the end circumferential edge region (3) of the jet regulator (6).
Abstract:
A sanitary outlet fitting including a water outlet (2) and a jet regulator (1) which is associated with the water outlet and includes a jet regulator housing (3) with integrated components. The jet regulator housing can be inserted into the water outlet by an axial insertion movement and includes a holding element (6) provided with at least one radially mobile projection (10) for connecting to the water outlet. The outlet fitting includes either a locking element (8) that can be actuated from the outside without using a tool for selectively blocking and releasing the holding element, or an unlocking tool (65) can be inserted into the annular space (68) between the inner peripheral edge of the water outlet and the outer peripheral edge of the housing by an axial insertion movement. The insertion movement of the unlocking tool can be converted into a radial movement of the at least one projection of the holding element from a functional position into an unlocking position.
Abstract:
A sanitary insert (1) includes a housing (8) and a flow guide (4), the housing (8) having a generally cylindrical shape and an inner wall portion thereof has a concavity (3) around its periphery. The flow guide (4) having generally a disc shape with an outer wall portion thereof having a convexity (2), the housing (8) being configured to pivotally secure the flow guide (4) within it by a ball and socket type engagement thereby allowing an articulating movement of the flow guide (4) within the housing (8). The housing (8) being configured to be inserted into a plumbing outflow fitting.
Abstract:
A jet aerator (1) having an aerator housing (8) that can be installed in the water discharge of a sanitary outlet fitting, and having a jet splitter (12) in the interior of the housing, dividing the inflowing water flow into a plurality of individual jets, a mixing zone (14) being disposed downstream of the splitter for aerating the individual jets, wherein at least one aerator duct (16) is provided that ends in the mixing zone (14). The jet aerator has a throttle or closing piece (18) for reducing and/or optionally activating or deactivating the aerating function, the throttle or closing piece being displaceable between an open position opening the at least one aerating duct (16) and a throttle or closing position at least partially closing the at least one aerating duct (16) by a rotary and/or sliding movement.
