Abstract: An inlet conduit (3) in a cylinder head (2) of an internal combustion engine has a defined flow profile through which the rate of flow of the gas flow is continuously accelerated as far as a first intake conduit section of the intake duct (3) which, viewed in the direction of flow, lies in front of a valve shaft (6). Thereafter in a second intake conduit section the rate of flow of the gas flow is continuously reduced, resulting in a lower admission rate of flow of the valve (4). This produces an optimised delivery which has a favourable effect on the power output and the consumption of the internal combustion engine.

Title: Canned product sterilizing system and process
Inventor: MIGNOGNA MICHAEL S
IPC: A23L23/00
Filed: 1990-12-13
Abstract: A process and system for sterilizing packages of thermally-treatable products having different sterilization processing requirements. These packaged products can be different types of canned soups, for example. At least one of the packaged products is preheated a significant, predetermined amount in a preheat vessel in a steam or steam-air mixture to accommodate these different processing requirements. This allows the first and second packages to be processed through the stationary hydrostatic sterilizer, which is generally separate from the preheat vessel, at a common line speed and temperature. Expensive sterilizer changeover delays are thereby reduced significantly or even avoided. This process also allows the soup to be cold blended, reducing the likelihood of any overcooking in the large cooking kettle and reducing the amount of starch needed.

Abstract: A process for recycling the washing water in washing machines is described with saving and recovery of the cleansing agent for a controlled drying thereof as well as an apparatus for carrying out such a process. The water to be cleaned is forwarded to a vacuum-tight vessel (8) at the inside of which the water is preferably caused to flow through a filled-type column (2) in order to increase the evaporating surface. From this vessel (8) steam is extracted which, upon compression, exchanges its heat with the water to be purified, so as to condense. The condensate, substantially without any impurities, which due to their lower vapour pressure permain in the column filling (2), is used again in the washing cycle. According to an alternative embodiment the heat exchange of the compressed steam may be accomplished at a condition of thermal conduction with the washing tank (1a) itself, which transmits its latent heat vaporization and may be useful for drying the washed clothes.
