Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP92/01294 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 7, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 7, 1993 PCT Filed Jun. 9, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/01275 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 10, 1992.A sweeping unit for a sweeping machine to clean a floor area, has a driven pair of closed loop sweeping belts for engaging the floor, the driven sweeping belts including a first portion fixed in position relative to a mounting platform and a second movable portion. First rollers constrain the first portions of the driven sweeping belts relative to the mounting platform, and second guide rollers, which are movable relative to the mounting platform, constrain the second portions of the belts, respectively. The width of the floor area that is swept when the sweeping machine moves in a working direction, is variable as the second guide rollers are moved manually or automatically. The sweeping unit may be combined with a scrubber device having similar width adjustment features.

Abstract: A circuit for recovering refrigerant from a disabled refrigeration unit (10) combines a vacuum pump (37), vapor pump or compressor in series with a compressor (39) for drawing gaseous refrigerant from the disabled unit (10). The series arrangement of the vacuum source (37) and the compressor (39) provides approximately - 29 inches of mercury at the suction side of the vacuum source (37). A condensor (41) in series with the compressor (39) converts the gaseous refrigerant into a liquid refrigerant and a storage tank (20) in series with the condenser (41) receives liquid refrigerant from the condenser. In one preferred arrangement a valve system (22) connected in series between the condenser (41) and the storage tank (20) allows the storage tank to be disconnected from the circuit without release of refrigerant from the tank to the atmosphere. The circuit may also include a coil (53) in parallel with the condenser (41) and the compressor (39) and helically disposed around the storage tank for cooling the storage tank (20). A separator (45) may be connected in series between the vacuum source (37) and the compressor (39) for removing impurities from the gaseous refrigerant and another coil (47) connected in series between the compressor and the condenser and helically disposed around the separator (45) may be used to heat the separator. In addition to the gaseous refrigerant recovery line (42), a liquid refrigerant line (33) in series between the unit (10) and the storage tank (20) drains liquid refrigerant from the unit into the storage tank prior to operation of the gaseous refrigerant recovery line (42).

Abstract: A system for reducing the formation of NO x  pollutants during the combustion of liquid fuel in a gas turbine engine. The system comprises introducing an externally modulated, rapidly-pulsed, oscillated or sinusoidal fuel flow delivery rate (generically referred to as "modulated") to produce a controlled degree of combustor air input flow oscillation and bulk flow oscillation within the combustor which enhances the fuel-air mixing rate and homogeneity within the combustor, decreases the residence time of transition fuel/air mixtures prone to NO x  formation, and substantially decreases the NO x  concentration in the resulting combustion gas product without creating a net pressure gain throughout the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A coffee machine comprises mainly a freshwater container (1), a freshwater pipe (3), a pump (6), a water heater (7), and a brewing chamber (20). In this brewing chamber there is a plunger (22) which can be actuated hydraulically by brewing water (8) for compressing ground coffee (25). A valve device (14) is also arranged in the coffee machine in such a way that any residual water present after the brewing operation in the brewing chamber (20) and in the pipe (11) is conducted away. A valve piston (16) mounted in the valve device (14) is mechanically forcibly coupled to the pivotable brewing chamber (20). After the ground coffee (25) has been brewed, the valve piston (16) is moved through the downwardly travelling brewing chamber (20) to its upper stop. There is thus now communication between the pipe (11) and the discharge pipe (10). Via this communication, the residual water located on the back of the movable plunger (22) and in the pipe (11) can flow away out of the coffee machine. This discharge flow can also be assisted by the returning plunger (22). It is guaranteed by this measure that the brewed coffee beverage is hot and that it corresponds in taste to the expectations of the consumer. Additionally, a coffee beverage prepared in this manner is satisfactory in terms of its microbiological condition.
