Title: Lateral exhaust enclosure-aided mist control system in metal electrowinning and electrorefining cells
Inventor: VILLASECA CASTRO CRISTIAN
IPC: C25C7/00
Filed: 2008-08-21
Abstract: A multi-element cover system for controlling acid mist in metal electrowinning or electrorefining cells is made of an electrolyte resistant material and is applied above the surface of the electrolyte and below the electrical connections of the electrodes in order to provide a continuous and substantially airtight seal above the electrolyte. The cover system comprises a plurality of flexible longitudinally concave caps arranged between the cathode and the anode that help to shift the acid mist towards the sides of the cell using the same energy that disengages it from the electrolyte; lids between the electrodes and the wall of the corresponding end of the cell; and lateral enclosures located at both sides of the cell in the space bwetween the electrodes and the lateral walls of the cell, the lateral enclosures having at least a top side, end walls at each end and an inner side projecting towards the electrolyte, thus forming a chamber inside the lateral enclosure, with the lower side of the enclosure or the electrolyte itself acting as the bottom boundary of the chamber, the chamber being connected to external acid mist suction means and its inner side provided with bores above the electrolyte level so as to in this fashion, in collaboration with the flexible caps, uniformly suck and remove the acid mist confined under the caps throughout the entire cell with a gentle suction and without the risk of crystal formation due to oversaturation of the droplets contained in the mist.

Abstract: Dans les toilettes de la technique antérieure possédant à la fois un siphon supérieur et un siphon inférieur, il arrive que le siphon supérieur se vide complétement de son eau, provoquant ainsi une remontée de gaz d'égouts dans la salle de bain. La présente invention concerne des toilettes dans lesquelles est appliqué de l'air pressurisé entre un siphon supérieur (30) raccordé à la cuvette des W.C. et un siphon inférieur (32) raccordé à un tuyau d'évacuation (16). Ces toilettes comportent une source d'air pressurisé (42) qui fournit un grand volume d'air pressurisé égal à au moins 30 % du volume de la jambe du siphon (34) qui relie les siphons. La source d'air pressurisé comprend un récipient (70) dont le sommet est relié à la jambe du siphon par un tuyau (90). L'air se trouvant au sommet du récipient est comprimé par l'eau qui monte dans le récipient après chaque actionnement de la chasse d'eau. Le sommet du récipient est au moins aussi haut que le niveau du trop plein (52) dans le réservoir des toilettes lorsque le réservoir des toilettes est plein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and arrangement to measure the deflection of a blade of a wind-turbine. The blade comprises a cavity inside the blade. A reflector, which is located inside the cavity of the blade, is coupled by a wire-less signal with a distance-measurement-device. The distance--measurement-device uses the wireless signal to measure the distance between the distance-measurement-device and the reflector.    A line of sight is established and maintained between the distance-measurement-device and the reflector even when the blade is deflected. The reflector is inclined relative to the line of sight in a way, that a lateral movement of the reflector relative to the line of sight results in a change of the distance between the distance-measurement--device and the reflector, while the lateral movement is caused by an deflection of the blade. The distance--measurement-device is designed to measure the change of the distance, which is used to determine the deflection of the blade.

Abstract: The aim is to devise a method for monitoring the ignition of a gas appliance whose function is controlled via a gas regulator fitting, and a gas control fitting for carrying out this method in which the danger of the accumulation of an increased amount of unburned gas in the combustion chamber before the ignition of the main burner is reduced. In addition, an immediate renewed attempt to ignite the appliance is to be prevented. The gas regulator fitting is also to be of as simple a construction as possible. To that end a sensor (21) ascertaining the operating condition of the main burner (2) is activated in such a way on the activation of a drive unit (20) forming part of the gas regulator fitting for opening the main valve (11) of the gas regulator fitting that, if the main gas flow in the main burner (2) is not ignited within a given time, the main valve (11) is closed again also for a given time.

Abstract: A multi-functional or versatile emergency shutdown valve controller may be used in various different emergency shutdown configurations to enable the testing of different types and configurations of emergency shutdown devices and the supporting equipment associated therewith. In one example, a digital valve controller for use with an emergency shutdown valve includes two pressure sensors and is adapted to be connected to a pneumatic valve actuator and to a solenoid valve device to assist in the on-line testing of the valve actuator as well as in the on-line testing of the solenoid valve. To perform testing of the solenoid valve, the valve controller may measure the pressure at different ports of the solenoid valve as the solenoid valve is actuated for a very short period of time. The valve controller may determine whether the solenoid device is fully functional or operational based on the device of the difference between the measured pressure signals, i.e., based on the rate of change of the difference between the measured pressured signals over time.
