Abstract:
A process for the removal of nitrogen oxides and soot from exhaust gases from machines and combustion installations burning heavy fuel oil by means of free-passage catalysts at increased temperatures with the addition of ammonia into the exhaust gas stream ahead of the catalysts. To make the process mre effective, the soot adhering to the catalyst surfaces is removed by burning it off and/or by friction resulting from the admixture of sand, ash or similar abrasive mixtures into the exhaust gas stream ahead of the catalysts.
Abstract:
An emergency track ring for a tubeless pneumatic tire comprising a bottom reinforced flange for mounting the ring on such a tire rim. At least one opening is formed in the ring to permit air to be admitted to the interior of the tire. Groove means are formed in the ring for filling with a lubricating material, and sealing lips close the groove means and seal the lubricant therein when the tire is mounted on said rim and under pressure. Flange means are integrally formed with the sealing lips and extend upwardly for engagement by the inside of the tire cover during loss of air, the depressing of the flange means effecting a lever action which causes the sealing lips to move so as to open the grooves and permit and lubricating material to be released to reduce friction between the tire cover and the track ring.
Abstract:
A transmitter transmits a sequence of synchronization signals at a predetermined repetition rate and at least one synchronization signal at a spacing in time different from said synchronization signals to signify the start of the message. At the receiver, a window is generated and the locally generated synchronization signal is retimed every time a received synchronization signal falls outside of the window. The window is generated by a counter which controls a flip-flop. To compensate for jitter in the received synchronization signal and yet maintain the window as narrow as possible, the size of the window is decreased from a maximum at the beginning of the message and the position in time of the window relative to a center position at which a jitter-free synchronization pulse would be received is varied as a function of the number of received synchronization signals.
Abstract:
A process for mixing or dispersing liquids is provided that includes introducing liquids to be mixed or dispersed into a mixing device having a cylindrical support. The cylindrical support includes an inlet nozzle having a bore which is in fluid communication through a turbulence chamber with a bore of an outlet nozzle, wherein the bores of the nozzles are axially spaced apart relative to one another. The liquids are then allowed to enter the turbulence chamber through the bore of the inlet nozzle where the liquids are mixed or dispersed. The mixed or dispersed liquid is then recovered from the outlet nozzle. Various devices for mixing or dispersing liquids are also provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the production of catalysts for the reduction of nitrogen oxides from exhaust gases and similar chemical air cleaning processes, in which a catalytically active material is deposited and bonded on a carrier made of metal, preferably stainless steel. The carrier is preferably in the form of a perforated metal plate, or of rib mesh, or a grid, preferably fabric, honeycombed or knitted material made of metal wire, or a similar material with a high specific surface. To simplify manufacturing and to improve the characteristics of the catalysts, the invention proposes the use of an acid which etches the surface of the metal carrier as the binder for the catalytically active material.

Abstract:
A device for evaluating periodic signals from inductive pick-ups compensates for the lag of the pick-up signal. This lag increases with increasing frequency as a consequence of the inductance of the pick-up, with respect to the position of a movable part that is to be scanned by the said pick-up. The relative time shift in the evaluation edge of the pick-up signal, which is phase-compensated via the frequency, is compensated for via changes in the amplitude of the pick-up signal.
Abstract:
A roller assembly for a roller furnace for heat treating slabs is provided with thermal insulation. A metal roller has carrier rings spaced at intervals thereon for carrying a slab to be treated. A needled first fiber mat surrounds the metal roller between the carrier rings and has a fibrous spraying compound sprayed thereon. A binder in the fibrous spraying compound joins the fiber spraying compound with the first fiber mat. A precompressed second fiber mat is laterally disposed between the carrier rings and the fibrous spraying compound. The result is a thermal insulation arrangement which withstands the dynamic stresses of the roller assembly as well as the chemical stresses due to the presence of a hot slab.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cartridge to hold catalyst plates, which plates are spaced apart, thereby leaving open slot-shaped channels for the passage of fluids to be cleaned catalytically by the plates. The cartridge is shaped in a parallelepiped or an essentially cubic form. There are recesses which form mountings for the insertion of the catalyst plates on at least two sides facing one another. The recesses are groove-like, into which the edges of the catalyst plates fit. For the simplest possible and most solid fastening of the catalyst plates in the cartridge, the mountings comprise a metal wire mesh as the static element, which is coated with a coating containing vermiculite or a similar material which expands when heated. Zeolite may also be used as the coating material.
