Granted: 1991-03-06
Abstract: A closure element with a pipe housing which can be incorporated in a pipeline and a butterfly flap, for which are provided a drive shaft passing through the housing and a seating in the housing whereby, arranged on the drive shaft (10), is an annular disc (4) with loose bearings (9), and the valve flap (3) is guided in the annular disc (4), and is linked with the drive shaft by a gear unit (22, 23) which is restricted when the valve flap (3) pivots, and serves to apply the valve flap (3) against its seating (32). The closure element is characterized by the fact that the gear unit (22, 23) raises the valve flap (3) axially from the seating (32) when the drive shaft (10) turns back, until the flap is supported on the annular disc (4), and by the fact that the gear unit (22, 23) forms the connection between the valve flap (3) and the drive shaft, whereby the valve flap (3) bears on the annular disc (4).

Abstract: Phenol sulphonate esters can be made in a known process by reacting an alkali metal phenol sulphonate salt with an acyl halide in a hydrocarbon solvent at elevated temperatures, but the use of anhydrous materials were strongly advocated because any residual water hydrolyses the acyl chloride in a competitive reaction. However, it becomes particularly difficult and expensive to dehydrate phenol sulphonate salts below about 2% w/w water on a commercial scale and the product obtained by reaction from such partly dehydrated salts can be comparatively impure or reduced in yield. Consequently, changes to the process such as omitting the solvent or using a different acylating agent have been proposed, but these alternatives introduce their own respective manufacturing problems such as entrainment of viscous acyl chloride and anhydride in the product or introduction of a cumbersome and hence expensive recovery process involving an extra distillation step amongst others. The present invention provides a surprisingly convenient modification to the known process in which the esterification and product separation steps are incorporated into a cycle together with an acyl halide preparation step in which residual carboxylic acid and anhydride in solution after product separation is preferably augmented with a replenishing amount of carboxylic acid and then reacted wtih thionyl halide. The resultant ester is readily separable and is obtained in comparatively good yield.

Abstract: Un procédé d'adaptation d'une valeur de commande pilote d'une régulation se fonde sur le fait que lorsque les conditions de fonctionnement coïncident avec les conditions de calibrage lors de la détermination initiale de valeurs de commande pilote, aucune déviation des valeurs de réglage ne doit se produire dans aucun domaine de fonctionnement, et que par conséquent les déviations qui sont malgré tout observées sont un signe que les conditions de calibrage ne sont plus remplies, que ce soit à cause d'un effet de vieillissement ou de valeurs parasites non compensées. Selon le procédé, les différences entre les déviations des valeurs de réglage servent à les classer en différentes catégories de valeurs d'influence. Une valeur de correction est alors déterminée pour chaque catégorie de valeur d'influence, capable de compenser pendant le fonctionnement du système réglé l'erreur observée dans le domaine correspondant avant la mise en fonctionnement du système. Ce procédé permet d'obtenir une adaptation précise de domaines individuels selon un procédé offline, et il est donc particulièrement utile pour régler par commande pilote la valeur lambda d'un moteur à combustion interne. Les dispositifs d'application de ce procédé sont des microordinateurs peu coûteux à vitesse de travail si limitée qu'ils ne sont pas capables d'appliquer des procédés complexes d'adaptation online; lorsque ces dispositifs disposent toutefois d'un panneau de comptage utilisable offline, ils peuvent eux aussi assurer une adaptation structurelle précise, c'est-à-dire domaine par domaine.
