Italian term

coclea

Italian to English Tech/Engineering condenser
A structure presumably having the same shape as the inner ear component of the same name, but in this case part of a cooling and water condensing system:-

"Alternativamente, la separazione dell'acqua avviene per sola azione meccanica e fisica (forza centrifuga e peso specifico diverso) all’interno di una convenzionale coclea funzionante con il principio di un distillatore a serpentina.."

I think this is the term when it involves liquid or gas

Hi Alex;
there are several ways to translate "coclea" depending on the use. In your case I have used before "auger" but also *screw feeder* is just as good. Hope it helps see URL: http://www.martinsprocket.com/sconvey.htm
from IT>EN Dictionary here are some translations
1 (mecc.), Archimedean screw.
2 (chiocciola, camera a spirale a sezione decrescente: di pompa centrifuga, compressore o turbina idraulica per es.), scroll, volute.
3 (elemento rotante elicoidale di un trasportatore a vite di Archimede) (trasp.), auger.
4 coclea per alimentazione controllata (permette un volume costante di alimentazione di materiale sciolto) (app. - ind.), metering screw.
5 alimentatore a coclea (att. ind.), screw feeder.

volute

The double volute pump 14-6

In all of my classes and writings I discuss the advantages of using a double volute centrifugal pump to eliminate radial shaft deflection caused by operating off the best efficiency point (BEP) of a single stage centrifugal pump.

In this paper I will answer those questions I get the most frequently asked about double volute designs
