Abstract: The invention relates to a method of operating a gas turbine unit comprising a combustion chamber, a high pressure turbine driven by gas from the combustion chamber, and a low pressure turbine driven by gas from the high pressure turbine, means for controlling the gas supply from the high pressure turbine to the low pressure turbine, and a low pressure compressor driven by the low pressure turbine, and a high pressure compressor connected in series with the low pressure compressor and driven by the high pressure turbine for supplying pressurized air to the combustion chamber, the useful power of the gas turbine unit being adjustable by controlling the gas conditions upstream of the low pressure turbine by said means. Substantially all the air delivered to the combustion chamber from the compressors, is utilized for the combustion in the combustion chamber. The generated gas is cooled with water and/or steam to a temperature which corresponds to the maximum operating temperature of the high pressure turbine. There is made use of the power obtained from the combustion chamber by said cooling, and the useful power of the gas turbine unit is recovered from the high pressure turbine at substantially constant rotational speed thereof. The temperature of the gas supplied to the high pressure turbine is maintained substantially constant independently of the useful power recovered from the gas turbine unit.

Abstract: Une buse de sortie pour l'air de ventilation provenant d'un système de ventilation est de préférence disposée dans un véhicule et comprend au moins un logement de sortie pourvue de plusieurs plaques parallèles, disposées de façon à pouvoir se déplacer les unes par rapport aux autres dans le sens transversal sous l'action d'un levier de commande. Les plaques sont formées d'une configuration de trous qui forment conjointement des conduits de ventilation à travers lesquels peut s'écouler l'air de ventilation et qui permettent la déviation du sens d'écoulement de l'air de ventilation en réponse à une position réglée du levier de commande. Le but de la présente invention est notamment d'empêcher les plaques parallèles de tourner les unes par rapport aux autres et autour du levier de commande, ce qu'on obtient essentiellement par le fait que les plaques (13) sont formées d'éléments de guidage (18, 19) grâce auxquels des plaques juxtaposées (13) agissent conjointement et permettent uniquement un déplacement parallèle des plaques (13) les unes par rapport aux autres dans une seule direction et par le fait que les éléments de guidage (18, 19) entre différentes plaques (13) s'étendent dans des directions différentes, le réglage des plaques (13) s'effectuant par différents déplacements parallèles.

Abstract: Butt joint between two thin-walled round sheet metal pipe sections. The butt joint has a flange ring (14) with a triangular hollow section at each pipe end (10); said hollow section has a slit (26, 26') at its radially inner side, into which the radial annular edge (12), flanged at pipe end (10), is inserted. As a result, the annular edge (12) is prevented from getting caught in the opposite pipe end (10) and, at the same time, a firm fit of the flange ring (14) is guaranteed on the appropriate pipe end (10).

Inventor: CANZANI ALBERTO
IPC: C04B41/45
Filed: 1988-07-16
Abstract: The composition according to the invention is based on the use of an inert porous material which can be natural, artificial or synthetic, granular in form, and weighing less than 1 kg/dm3 in bulk. 
     The porous granules, e.g. of expanded clay or similar, are partially saturated to the extent of 20 - 30% of their weight, with active ingredients which lower the freezing point of water. 
     The melting additives can be added in the pure state or diluted in water, and there is provision for the addition of about 2% by weight of the melting additive, of anti-­acid limiters. The advantages of the composition with respect to sand are the greater managability and ease with which it can be spread on icy or snow-bound surfaces; the low specific weight which reduces the tendency to sedimentation in road drains and sewers, and, compared to salt, the almost non-existent corrosive action on ironwork of vehicles and street ironwork. 
     Ecologically, the composition does not damage the natural vegatative environment. The optimum results thus obtained are attributed to the synergetic effect of the inert material (activated grit) and the melting additive incorporated in it.

Abstract: The invention relates to the conditioning of liquid organic substances and biomass, in particular of domestic sewage sludge with the aid of chelating agents and enzymes. According to the invention the process of breaking down the organic substance in the aerobic conditioning reactor with the addition of chelating agents and enzymes is stopped, before the complete dissolution thereof, after a time of 0.5 to 20 hours. The mixture of substances is then subjected to a non-aerated, open after-reaction phase of 5 to 15 hours, when biogenic flocculation occurs. A solid/liquid separation is then carried out. Conditioning agents can be added to increase the rate of the after-reactions. The biogenic flocculation and the degassing in the after-reaction container can be improved by agitation or raising the temperature. The dried sludge has a high heating value. Its agricultural utility is high.
