Abstract: The present invention pertains to a locking and unlocking mechanism, which is equipped with an electromagnet (1) and is used preferably to embody a key and/or shift lock function in motor vehicles. Its basic object is to design such a mechanism such that the generation of noise during the transition from one state into the other is reduced compared with prior-art solutions. To accomplish the object, a pulsating voltage in the form of a direct voltage-rated pulse width signal (PWM voltage) is sent to the electromagnet (1). The effective value of the PWM voltage is increased over at least three voltage pulses from an off-load voltage value to a preset final voltage value at the beginning of a phase of energization and it conversely drops, again over at least three voltage pulses, to the off-load voltage value at the end of the phase of energization, in a time-controlled manner by means of a circuit unit (2) associated with a pulse width modulator (3).

Abstract: The invention concerns methods and technical devices for cooling a fluid flow, based on the use of evaporation cooling (for example, cooling tower), enabling to produce directly cold water having sufficiently low flow temperatures for cooling battery systems of all types for cooling parts. That application is up till now limited to the range of states of outside air defined by the design temperature measured with a wet thermometer. The present invention enables to significantly broaden the range of the states of outside air within which cold water having a flow temperature sufficiently low can be produced. Depending on the operating mode and the required cooling power, it is even possible to eliminate completely the use of a refrigerating machine.
