    摘要: A device and method for converting electric energy into pneumatic energy and vice versa, which involves: pumping a liquid forming a liquid piston into a conversion chamber in which a quantity of air is trapped until the air reaches a pressure of a compressed air storage vessel; or churning a liquid by expanding the compressed air in a conversion chamber which is filled with a quantity of liquid, in which device or method the pumping or the churning of the water takes place in the same conversion chamber and consecutively in at least two pumping or churning stages, respectively, provided so as to operate in different pressure ranges. The present device and method can be used in particular in the field of converting and storing electric energy.

    摘要: A device and method for the creation of a water proof component void form unit to create space between concrete structures and expansive soil for the passage of plumbing lines, electrical lines and other utility conduit lines is described. The unit includes a plurality of panels interlocked with one or more connectors. The panels are aligned opposite one another and are configured to abut one another to create a route. The panels are located in a trench and configured to define a void space underground for the passage of the utility conduit lines. A top cap overlays across the panels. Utility conduit lines are routed within the void space and adjusted according to needs. The unit is configured to resist soil expansive forces so as to protect the placement and integrity of the utility conduit lines.

    摘要: An aerated swirling vertical shaft with double volute chambers comprises an upper volute chamber (2) and a first shrinking section (3) beneath the upper volute chamber (2), a venting passage (4) outside the upper volute chamber (2), a vertical shaft section (7) beneath the first shrinking section (3), as well as an aerated lower volute chamber (5) and a second shrinking section (6) communicated with the aerated lower volute chamber (5) between the first shrinking section (3) and the vertical shaft section (7), wherein the upper end of the aerated lower volute chamber (5) is connected with the first shrinking section (3), the lower end of the second shrinking section (6) is connected with the vertical shaft section (7); the upper end of the venting passage (4) is communicated with the atmosphere and the lower end is communicated with the aerated lower volute chamber (5). The water stream in the vertical shaft can be discharged smoothly and the wall surface of the vertical shaft may avoid being destroyed due to cavitation and cavitation erosion.

    摘要: The prestressed concrete lining has several reinforcement elements (32) distributed around the circumference and along the length of the pressure tunnel. There are prestressing elements (38, 39, 40, 41) which encompass at least a part of the circumference of the pressure tunnel. A bottom part (35) is disposed within the pressure tunnel, formed of several elongated anchorage bodies (15) in series. Each of the anchorage bodies (15) has an essentially U-shaped cross section. In each of the arms (2, 3) of the anchorage bodies turned towards the inside of the tunnel there are first means (5) for passing through at least one of each of the prestressing elements (38, 39, 40, 41). An bearing plate (8) is disposed on each of the facing inner surfaces of the arms in the region of each of the first pass-through means (5). Second means (10) for passing through at least one of each of the prestressing elements (38, 39, 40, 41) are foreseen in the base arm of the anchorage body 15. Each of the prestressing elements (38, 39, 40, 41) is, starting from a dead end anchor (43, 44), led through one of the second pass-through means (10) of one of the anchorage bodies (15) and, after crossing through one of the first pass-through means (5) of one of the anchorage bodies, ends in an anchor head of a stressing anchorage (42) bordering on one of the bearing plates (8). By use of the anchorage bodies a prestressed concrete lining can be simplified with respect to the state of the art. In particular, it guarantees speedy advancement in the progress of the construction. The construction time is therefore reduced.
