His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and reliability of flowmeters, particularly in applications involving sealing fluids.
Latest Patents
One of Harri Makkonen's latest inventions is a flowmeter of a variable orifice type that features a cleaning arrangement. This innovative flowmeter is designed to regulate and monitor the flow of sealing fluid to a seal of a rotating shaft. The device includes a sealing fluid metering channel, a sealing fluid inlet, and a connection towards the seal for regulating the flow of sealing fluid. Additionally, it incorporates a non-return valve to prevent the sealing fluid from flowing back to the flowmeter. The flowmeter also features a regulating and monitoring mechanism, allowing the sealing fluid to flow through an opening, and a cleaning mechanism that is movable by an actuator. Notably, the non-return valve is arranged as an extension of the metering channel at the meter outlet side end, coaxially with the metering channel. This design allows for mechanical contact between the metering cone and the non-return valve, enabling effective cleaning of the non-return valve with the cleaning mechanism.
