A method is disclosed for replacing, in an engine block, a timing belt, preferably a wet timing belt, with a timing chain. The method comprises removing the timing belt from the engine block, and replacing a plurality of timing belt pulleys with a plurality of timing chain sprockets. The method also comprises mounting the timing chain around the plurality of timing chain sprockets, and mounting a chain tensioner guide in the engine block. The method also comprises mounting a hydraulic tensioning device in the engine block. The mounted hydraulic tensioning device is configured to apply a force on the mounted chain tensioner guide for tensioning the mounted timing chain. The method further comprises replacing a timing belt cover with a timing chain cover. The timing chain cover comprises an oil inlet for allowing oil to pass through the timing chain cover and reach the hydraulic tensioning device for actuating the hydraulic tensioning device. The method also comprises fluidly connecting the oil inlet to a source of pressurized oil.

This disclosure relates to a method and system for processing and/or inspecting a food item. The method comprises a leading conveyor conveying the food item in a first direction, towards and onto a trailing conveyor. The leading conveyor and the trailing conveyor are separated by a gap. The method comprises the trailing conveyor conveying the food item in a second direction at least a component of which extends in the first direction. The trailing conveyor conveys the food item faster than the leading conveyor herewith stretching at least a part of the food item when the food item bridges the gap. The method also comprises capturing an image of and/or performing a processing step on the stretched at least part of the food item.

This disclosure relates to a sewer relief system. The sewer relief system comprises a chamber. The chamber comprises, at a bottom part of the chamber, a connection opening for connecting the chamber to a sewer system and, at a top part of the chamber, a relief opening for discharging water from the chamber. The sewer relief system further comprises a floater element at least part of which is positioned in the chamber. The floater element is configured to move relative to the chamber back and forth between an odor sealing position and a sewer relief position. Further, the floater element is configured to form an airtight connection when it is in the odor sealing position for preventing odors from the sewer system from escaping through the relief opening and configured to allow passage of sewage liquids when it is in the sewer relief position for allowing discharge of sewage liquids from the sewer system through the relief opening. The floater element has a height extending in a vertical direction. Further, the floater element is configured to not extend below the airtight connection for more than 30% of its height when it is in the odor sealing position.

A dispenser system for dispensing tea is disclosed. The dispenser system comprises a paper tube (4) configured to hold tea. The paper tube comprises a rolled edge (18) defining an opening. The dispenser system also comprises a dispenser unit (6) that is configured to dispense tea. The dispenser unit comprises one or more snap-fit elements (16) that are configured to establish respective one or more snap-fit connections with the rolled edge of the paper tube herewith attaching the paper tube and dispenser unit to each other for allowing tea to move from the paper tube through the opening into the dispenser unit. The paper tube comprises a tear line at the rolled edge, wherein the tear line is configured to facilitate tearing of the paper tube at the rolled edge for releasing the one or more snap-fit connections.

A stove is disclosed herein. The stove comprises an exhaust system for discharging exhaust gases from the stove. The exhaust system comprises an electrostatic precipitator, ESP. The ESP comprises a discharge electrode having a length extending along a longitudinal direction. The ESP also comprises a collection electrode extending along the longitudinal direction and comprising a wall that at least partially surrounds the discharge electrode. The wall defines a channel for accommodating a flow of exhaust gases along the longitudinal direction. The discharge electrode and collection electrode are configured to, when the ESP is in operation, cause particles in the exhaust gases to ionize and precipitate on the wall. The ESP further comprises an electrically insulating discharge electrode holder that holds the discharge electrode. The discharge electrode holder closes off the channel at one side of the channel for preventing a longitudinally directed flow of exhaust gases out of or into the channel at said one side of the channel. Further, the wall comprises an opening for letting exhaust gases out of or into the channel.
