Title: Device for mixing and dissolving solid granules in a liquid, in particular for producing nitrophosphate fertilisers
Inventor: LIMOUSIN LAURENT
IPC: B01F7/00
Filed: 1998-05-22
Abstract: A device for preparing a sulpho-ureic reactant for the digestion of a natural phosphate, in a plant for the production of phosphonitrogenous fertilizers, is provided.  The device is a vessel of cylindrical shape with a vertical axis and a rounded bottom, an entry for the liquid, an entry for the granules, an exit for the solution, and a means of agitation.  The entry for the granules is situated above the level of mixture in the vessel.  The agitation is provided by two agitation means, one being a turbine with straight blades that creates entrainment of the solid granules towards the bottom of the vessel, the other being a radial turbine with straight blades located below the fist agitation means, creating a mixing to dissolve the granules. This combination of agitation allows the dissolution of granules that have a lower density than that of the solution.

Title: Method for operating a wind energy plant to reduce or increase unwanted fluctuation in voltage
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: H02K11/225
Filed: 2002-04-22
Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine (2) with an electrical generator (12) is disclosed. The generator is driveable by a rotor (4) for supplying electrical power to an electric grid (6) and in particular to loads (8) connected thereto. The reactive power is fed into the electric grid (6) and the reactive power is predetermined by phase angle Ö which describes an angle between the current and voltage of the electrical power supplied. The phase angle determines the proportion of reactive power in the power that is supplied by the wind turbine (2). The phase angle Ö is changed in response to the voltage measured in the grid (6), and the phase angle remains unchanged as long as the grid voltage is between a predetermined lower reference value (Umin) and a predetermined upper reference value (Umax) where the lower voltage value is less than a reference voltage and the predetermined upper voltage value is greater than a predetermined reference voltage. When the predetermined upper voltage value (Umax) is exceeded, or the predetermined lower voltage value (Umin) is undercut, the size of the phase angle increases on any further increase or decrease in the grid voltage.
