Title: An arrangement for regulating the flow of heat transfer medium flowing through a heat exchange element
Inventor: STOLZ ALBERT
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 1983-08-18
Abstract: A heat transfer medium, e.g. engine coolant, flows through the heating element 3, 4 of a heating and/or air conditioning system in a motor vehicle. A temperature responsive controlled timing valve 10 controls the flow in response to temperature sensors 12, 13, 14 and set point adjusters 15, 16. A throttle not operatively connected to the valve 10 is varied with the set- point adjusters 15, 16 in such a manner that, starting from a position II in which the set point temperature is easily reached, the throttle cross-section is continuously enlarged until the fully open position of the heating is reached. This makes it possible, particularly if the desired temperature is reached, and without reducing control accuracy, for the proportion of time during which the valve 10 is open to be still high even if there is only a slight flow of heat transfer medium because of the restriction of the throttle. Detrimental pressure surges and cold blowing are thus avoided. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for correcting system frequency dips of a variable-pressure-operated steam generator unit
Inventor: SINDELAR RUDOLF
IPC: F22B35/10
Filed: 1983-10-11
Abstract: A method capable of meeting operational requirements of a fossil fired unit without it being necessary to throttle the inlet valves if the unit is supplying the rate output PN, and a maximum 5% throttling is necessary if the unit is supplying 40% of the rated output PN is described. Initially, the inlet valves (4, 7) are continuously opened and the LP feed-heating train (15.1,... 15.n, 17) is continuously disconnected and the condensate control valve (14) and the shut-off valves (16.1,... 16. (n + 1)) are closed in step, at the same time the fuel supply to the boiler (1) is increased correspondingly. When a steam output excess occurs, the LP feed-heating train is continuously reconnected by opening the condensate control valve and the shut-off valves in step, then the condensate control valve is opened beyond the operating position corresponding to the instantaneous turbine output, at the same time the fuel supply to the boiler (1), with the inlet valves fully opened, is further increased, the set-point value for the position of the inlet valves is changed over to a second higher value (Y1), which adjusts the fuel supply to a new steady-state condition, when refilling of the feedwater tank (17) is completed, the condensate control valve (14) is adjusted to its operating position corresponding to the instantaneous turbine output, the inlet valves are throttled in accordance with the required turbine output, the set- point value for the position of the inlet valves is reversed to its normal value (YN), where the normal value (YN) is dependent on the increase in the turbine output attainable by disconnecting the LP feed-heating train, and the fuel supply is adjusted to this final steady- state condition. <IMAGE>

Title: Dosing of fluids
Inventor: BERGMANN KONRAD
IPC: F16K21/00
Filed: 1984-02-03
Abstract: The compressibility of the fluid to be dosed is utilised, by arranging that a cavity 1 of substantially constant volume and which in use remains filled with the fluid, is first placed in communication with an inlet 2 which supplies fluid at a relatively high pressure P1 so that some of the fluid enters the cavity, and is then isolated from the inlet 1 and is placed in communication with an outlet 3 which is at a lower pressure P2 so that the fluid in the cavity expands and a predetermined precise, small amount flows into the outlet. Several cavities, inlets and outlets may be provided in two or more members, such as ceramics discs, which are relatively movable by oscillation or rotation to provide simultaneous or continuous successive doses. Such devices may be used to distribute doses to several outlets or to mix doses of fluids from different inlets into a common outlet. <IMAGE>
