Abstract: With a method for controlling a diaphragm or piston pump that is actuated by a cam driven by an electric motor and via a ram or connecting rod, a solution is suggested for a simple system construction that enables quantities of metered media to be delivered at the most constantly rate possible. This is achieved in that in order to deliver an approximately constant volume flow of metered medium, the diaphragm or piston of the pump is moved at approximately constant speed during the compression stroke by the driving unit of the cam with consideration for the cam position.

Abstract: A mass transfer column ( 10 ) is provided with at least one vapor-liquid contact tray ( 12 ) that is disposed within the open internal region ( 14 ) defined by a shell ( 16 ) of the column ( 10 ). At least one expansion ring ( 26 ) underlies and supports the vapor-liquid contact tray ( 12 ). An expander ( 38 ) is associated with first and second end segments ( 32, 34 ) of the expansion ring ( 26 ) that define a cutout ( 36 ) in the expansion ring ( 26 ). The expander ( 38 ) includes brackets ( 48 ) welded to the end segments ( 32, 34 ) and a threaded member ( 50 ) that extends through the brackets ( 48 ) and carries nuts ( 54 ). Turning the nuts ( 54 ) against facing surfaces of the brackets ( 48 ) causes the first and second end segments ( 32, 34 ) of the expansion ring ( 26 ) to be forced apart to cause an increase in the circumference of the expansion ring ( 26 ), thereby sealing the expansion ring ( 26 ) against the inner surface of the column shell. At least one seal plate ( 58 ) is positioned on the threaded member ( 50 ) to block the cutout ( 36 ) in the expansion ring ( 26 ) Rods ( 27 ) extend between the expansion ring ( 26 ) and a support ring ( 24 ) that is welded to the column shell ( 16 ) to transfer a portion of the load carried by the expansion ring ( 26 ) to the support ring ( 24 ).

Abstract: A binding system for applying a vertical compressive force to the refractory walls of a rectangular or circular furnace comprises a compressive member engaging a laterally extending surface of the furnace wall and a support member to which the compressive member is connected. The compressive member preferably comprises a coil spring which acts directly on the laterally extending surface or indirectly through a force-applying member. The force applied by the compressive member is sufficient to control vertical expansion and substantially prevent vertical expansion of the furnace walls due to infiltration of material into the joints between the refractory bricks during operation of the furnace.
