Abstract: A device is claimed for varying a flat flow channel (1) with a width to height (h) ratio of more than 10. At least one channel wall is flexible and adjusters are arranged across the channel (1) width on the rear side of the flexible wall allowing channel height (h) to be varied over the whole width or parts of the width. The flexible wall consists of an assembly (2) of flat plates (3, 4, 5) lying against each other, the lower plate (3) being welded onto the flow channel body (6) and forming a common wall with the flow channel (1). A variation of the device with the stated width/height ratio is fitted to the end of a die for producing a variable thickness extrudate and includes two adjusting systems (13, 14) acting on one wall of the device. The first adjuster system produces a uniform wall adjustment over the whole channel width and the other adjustment system provides localised adjustment. Also claimed is a process for extruding a material strip with a thickness which varies either locally or across the whole width uses a die with a flow channel and an outlet with one or more adjustable walls by which the flow rate through the channel is varied by two separate adjusting systems each with its own control system to vary flow channel height either in specific areas, across the whole width or both simultaneously.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for liquid heat treatment, in particular in a laboratory, whereby there is little liquid loss by evaporation and which has a simple structure and is relatively inexpensive. Such a device is obtained by inserting a displacing body in a container heated in its lower region, for example a reaction tube, from above, in the zone of a container cylindrical, prismatic or conical section, thereby generating a narrow void space which encloses the body, and said container section is enclosed by a cooling block provided with a corresponding passage. The displacing body forces the vapour rising at the liquid surface to enter said narrow void space, thereby bringing about efficient cooling by the cooling device and condensation on the container inner wall, the condensate on the container inner wall filling it.
