Inventor: MAUS WOLFGANG
IPC: F01N3/28
Filed: 1995-08-25
Abstract: The invention concerns a catalytic reactor for the catalytic reaction of exhaust gases, in particular for exhaust gases from internal combustion engines. The reactor comprises a honeycombed member (2) which is disposed in a metal casing (1) and comprises a plurality of ducts (3) through which exhaust gas can flow. The honeycombed member (2) further has a gas inlet side (4) and a gas outlet side (5) and, at least over part of its longitudinal extension, is thermally insulated with respect to the inner surface (6) of the casing (1) by internal insulation (8) from the gas inlet side (4) and preferably also from the gas outlet side. The outer surface (7) of the casing (1) also has thermal insulation (9) at least in sub-areas and the casing (1) acts as a heat store at least in sub-areas. This construction gives rise to favourable properties for both cold and hot starting since one sub-area heats up rapidly during cold starting and another sub-area cools only slowly after relatively long operation as a result of heat being stored in the casing.

Abstract: A model predictive control apparatus and method for controlling the operation of a process having a process input signal and a process output signal, which includes determining a predicted process output signal at a future steady state condition according to a process model, determining a steady state error signal according to the difference between the predicted process output signal and a desired set point signal, and determining a set of future process input change signals required to correct for the estimated steady state error by providing at least one step response in the process output at a future time. The next net process input change is then applied according to the sum of the currently determined first element of the set of future process input change signals summed with any future process input change signals that were previously calculated for the next process input change signal that is calculated according to this method. The model is expressed in velocity form. Process tuning parameters are available to dampen the net process input change as well as the currently determined first element of the process input change with respect to a process input change signal that is calculated according to the steady state error divided by the steady state process gain.

Abstract: A device for identifying the number of solenoids/inductive loads connected in parallel to an electric gun driver is provided. In particular, the electric gun driver, which operates a multiple number of dispensing devices with a like number of solenoids for dispensing liquid adhesive on packaging materials, determines the number of solenoids or inductive loads connected in parallel thereto for operation thereof. The device includes an input/output device, a first and a second terminal wherein any number of solenoids are connected therebetween, and a micro-controller connected to the input/output device for determining the number of solenoids connected between the first and second terminals and for supplying an operating current to control the operation of the solenoids as desired by the operator. The device also includes a switch that is toggled on by the micro-controller so that a feedback voltage and a feedback current can be sensed by the micro-controller whereupon the micro-controller determines the actual current supplied to the load and compares this value with predetermined ranges of values so as to determine the number of solenoids connected between the first and second terminals. Based upon this information, the micro-controller appropriately applies a pull-in current and a holding current to ensure the proper operation of the spray gun dispenser.

Abstract: A method for improving the adsorption properties of a hydrocarbon adsorber which involves contacting a molecular sieve hydrocarbon adsorber with an agent for modifying the acid sites of the molecular sieve to impregnate the molecular sieve with the agent. The resulting acid-modified molecular sieve has the ability to retain adsorbed hydrocarbons at higher temperatures than the molecular sieve in the un-modified state. The acid-modified molecular sieve can be used to remove hydrocarbons from a workstream. The workstream is passed through the modified adsorber at atmospheric pressure at a temperature ranging from room temperature to about 150°C to cause adsorption and retention of the hydrocarbons. The adsorbed hydrocarbons can then be desorbed at a higher temperature than would otherwise occur with an unmodified adsorber.

Abstract: A method for reducing the level of particulate contamination in a wafer processing reactor by providing a continuous laminar flow of purge gas through the reactor whenever the reactor is not processing a wafer. The reactor (10) is continuously purged with an inert purge gas through a gas inlet when no wafer process is taking place. At the same time, a vacuum pump (40) exhausts the purge gas. Parameters such as the type of purge gas, flow rate of the purge gas, chamber pumping characteristics, and base pressure in the reactor are selected so that the flow of purge gas is in the laminar flow regime. This flow of purge gas sweeps up the particulate contaminants and carries them out of the reactor. Preferably the flow of purge gas is laminar.
