A centrifugal separator includes a separator bowl delimiting therein a separation space and being configured to rotate about a rotational axis and nozzle members arranged peripherally at the separator bowl. Each nozzle member forms a nozzle outlet providing a passage from the separation space to a space outside the separator bowl. The centrifugal separator includes a protective member arranged downstream of each nozzle outlet at an outer periphery of the separator bowl. The nozzle member secures the protective member in relation to the separator bowl, at least in one circumferential direction of the separator bowl.

A separation device for separating impurities from a fluid to be cleaned has a separation body with a collecting region for impurities. A load determination apparatus determines an impurity load state of the collecting region for impurities. The load determination apparatus has a transmitter emitting electromagnetic waves, a receiver receiving the electromagnetic waves emitted by the transmitter, and an evaluation device. Transmitter and receiver are arranged opposite each other on opposite sides of the collecting region for impurities. The separation body at least in sections is at least partially transmissive for electromagnetic waves emitted by the transmitter. Transmitter and receiver are connected to the evaluation device. The evaluation device determines the impurity load state of the collecting region for impurities based on the electromagnetic waves received by the receiver. Such a load determination apparatus as described as well as a method for determining an impurity load state are provided.

A printed energy storage device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a separator between the first and the second electrode. At least one of the first electrode, the second electrode, and the separator includes frustules, for example of diatoms. The frustules may have a uniform or substantially uniform property or attribute such as shape, dimension, and/or porosity. A property or attribute of the frustules can also be modified by applying or forming a surface modifying structure and/or material to a surface of the frustules. A membrane for an energy storage device includes frustules. An ink for a printed film includes frustules.
