Patent EP-0386248-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ISHII HIROSHI JAPAN OXYGEN CO
IPC: B01D5/00
Filed: 1989-07-04
Abstract: In a condenser/evaporator of the type in which first fluid chambers and second fluid chambers are formed alternately by a large number of vertical partition plates and heat-exchanging is effected between a liquid medium in the first fluid chambers and a fluid in the second fluid chambers, multiple stages of heat transfer plates are disposed vertically in the first fluid chambers so as to define a plurality of liquid medium flow paths. One of the ends of each fluid path is open. A plurality of liquid reservoirs whose upper parts are open are disposed vertically and are connected to the other ends of the flow paths. While being supplied to the liquid reservoir of each stage, the liquid medium is introduced into the flow paths to effect heat-exchanging. Accordingly, the liquid depth of the liquid medium becomes small and temperature rise due to the liquide pressure is eliminated so that efficiency of the condenserievaporator can be improved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a circuit arrangement (14) for monitoring the functionality (CR) and readiness (tSt) of a battery (4), prepared actual values of the battery current (IB) and battery voltage (UB) being averaged and the operating mode (LA, En) being confirmed from the direction of the battery current (IB). According to the invention, a discharge power (PEn) is calculated during discharge operation (En) from the averaged actual values of the battery current (IBm) and the battery voltage (UBm) and being compared with stored discharge power characteristic families as a function of the averaged cell voltage actual value (UBZ), the consumed capacity (CEn) determined by means of the characteristic (PEnZ) being subtracted from the maximum capacity (Cmax) and this determined residual capacity (CR) being multiplied by a discharge time (tp) which is proportional to the calculated discharge power (PEnZ). The functionality and readiness of a battery (4) can thus be monitored without major cost with the aid of only one performance graph.

Abstract: In vehicles for transporting other vehicles, having at least two loading platforms which can be adjusted in height by a vertical adjustment device, adaption to the different lengths of different vehicle types is only possible to a limited degree. In many cases, a part of the transportation space is therefore unused. A larger degree of variability of the loading platforms with a simultaneous improved degree of utilisation of the loading space is achieved in that a loading stage which is mounted so as to be swivellable about its, in the direction of driving, front end is provided and connected to a vertical adjustment device in the region of its rear end. In addition, the loading stage has an insertable extension platform at its rear end and at its front end a tilting platform which is swivellably connected to said loading stage. <IMAGE>
