Abstract:
A control and regulation device for technical processes uses knowledge-based control rules for selected process data. The device calculates control or regulation values for the remaining process states by means of a constant mathematical function that interconnects knowledge-based control rules, creating as by non-linear interpolation control rules for all process states, n being the number of input values characteristic of a process state.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a guide device for a turbine with a vane support (1a, 1b) which is fitted in a turbine housing, preferably a steam turbine housing, and provided with vanes (2). Positioning elements (5a, 5b) are provided for positioning and securing the vanes on the vane support (1a, 1b) and keep the vanes (2) in a specified fitted position. To simplify the manufacture of guide devices of this type, it is proposed that the two halves of a vane ring (5) which divides in the region of the turbine housing join should serve as positioning elements (5a, 5b). The vane ring (5) is provided with radially extending profiled perforations (10) into which the vane foot (6) of each vane (2) is inserted. At least one first securing element (7) is provided; this is preferably detachable and secures each vane foot (6) on the appropriate vane ring (5). Also provided is at least one second securing element (8) which secures each of the two halves of the vane ring (5) on the vane support (1).
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for operating the water-steam circuit of a thermoelectric power station, for example a steam power station, a heating or combined heating and power station, with a condensate pre-heating section (20), a steam generator (30) and a steam turbine (10) with condenser (12) and subsequent condensate preparation unit (14) arranged dowstream, with at least one condensate pump (16) upstream thereof. Steam tapped from the steam turbine (10) and/or from a steam overheating (32) is applied on the prepared condensate in the pre-heating section (20), thus heating it before it is supplied to the steam generator (30). The condensate is preprocessed before it reaches the pre-heating section (20) and need then not be degassed while it flows through the pre-heating section (20).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a device for separating solids particles from a gas flow of a circulating fluid bed reactor (1), the solids particles being conveyed in this gas flow. Means are provided which influence the gas flow such that centrifugal and gravitational forces which are greater than the gas flow entrainment forces act on the solids particles, so enabling particles of a given minimum size to be separated from the gas flow. According to the invention, the structure of the circulating fluid bed plant is rendered particularly compact in that the gas flow leaving the circulating fluid bed reactor (1) passes to a flow duct (4) which guides said flow about a horizontal cyclone axis (16) on a circular arc (17) in the downward direction. From here, the gas flow is delivered to a transfer duct (7) suitable for conveying it further. In the vertical direction the flow duct (4) merges into a separation chamber (15) which widens in corresponding manner at the bottom and in which the separated solids particles drop to the bottom.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a compact arrangement for cooling heat-generating structural components (3), especially power semiconductor components arranged in modules (13), in which, unlike the case with prior art arrangements, the transfer of heat to a cooling liquid circuit is improved. This is done by arranging the structural components (3) in apertures (2) in an electrically insulating plate (1), where the components (3) are in contact with liquid-cooled electrodes (9, 10) via two main surfaces (6, 7) and the electrodes (9, 10) are electrically insulated from each other by the plate (1). The invention also relates to a diode semi-bridge (26) composed of modules (13).
Abstract:
Disclosed is a current transformer, mounted in at least one power line (11), for the measurement of transient, rapidly varying short-circuit currents, etc., in particular in gas-insulated, metal-encapsulated switchgear. The current transformer has a length of thin-walled tubing (22) which conducts transient short-circuit currents occurring in the power line (11) and whose external diameter is equal to the external diameter of the power line (11). The voltage drop along a line at the surface of the length of tubing (22) is used for measurement purposes. The voltage drop along this line is a measure of the transient short-circuit current.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a turbine blade intended for use in the wet steam region in penultimate and final turbine stages. The blade is subjected to wear by erosion by impinging water droplets and is treated in the vicinity of the inlet edges and parts of the blade element (1) in such a way as to reduce that erosive wear. One particularly advantageous way of reducing the erosive wear of the water droplets lies in providing the blade element (1) in the vicinity of its inlet edge (2) and back, or at least in a partial region thereof, with a surface roughness (3) which is substantially reinforced compared to the surface roughness at the front of the blade element (1).
Abstract:
The description relates to a process for making a contact with a basic body of good electrically conductive material (first material) and a contact layer of less electrically conductive material (second material) which is resistant to arc burning, in which the contact layer has a sintered structure soaked with the material of the basic body. The basic body and the sintered structure are applied one on the other in a cup-like mould, heated therein to above the melting point of the first material but still below that of the second, so that the first material melts and penetrates the sintered structure. Here the sintered structure can be produced by scattering the second material in powder form on the first and first sintering in a degassing process below the melting point of the first material. It is also possible to produce the sintered structure beforehand and lay a green compact on the basic body.
Abstract:
A shielding element (14) is used to prevent metal vapour deposits on the inner surface of a ceramic hollow cylinder in a vacuum switch chamber. The shielding element (14) is arranged inside the hollow body and concentrically surrounds the contact pieces (11, 13) and partial areas of the contact rods (10, 12). In order to reduce the capacity of the shielding element (14) to reflect heat radiated by an electric arc (16) and to improve switching properties, the inner surface of the shielding element (14) that faces the contact pieces (11, 13) is provided with grooves (20) having a triangular, rectangular or rounded cross-section. Because of the increased surface, energy density is also reduced when metal vapour condenses on the shielding element (14).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a strip light comprising a housing (70) and a transparent cover (71). In order to hinge the cover (71) to the housing (70), a multiplicity of curved brackets (75) are located along the longitudinal edge of the housing (70), while a multiplicity of pins (87) are located along the longitudinal edge of the cover, pointing parallel to the longitudinal edge of the cover. The internal cross-section of each curved bracket (75) is reduced by a cross-pin (79), and located on each pin, near the cross-pin (79), is a groove (89). When the assembled light is opened, the cross-pin engages in the groove, thus preventing the cover (71) from becoming displaced with respect to the housing (70) parallel to their longitudinal edges.
