Publication number: 20230167949Abstract: A pressure regulating device includes an on-board storage tank, a mixing chamber, first and second lines, a recirculation line, a pressure sensor and a controller. The storage tank stores and supplies cryogenic fuel to a combustion chamber and includes a booster pump. The first line supplies cryogenic fuel in the liquid state and includes a pressurizing pump and a first regulation valve. The second line supplies cryogenic fuel in the gaseous state and includes a compressor and a first control valve. The recirculation line includes a second regulation valve and with a first heat exchanger. The pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the storage tank.

Patent number: 8957254Abstract: Process for synthesizing a chemical, in particular an agriculturally or pharmaceutically active compound, including: a first step comprising reacting a carboxylic acid halide with a vinyl ether to prepare a halogenated precursor of an alkenone; a second step comprising eliminating hydrogen halide from such precursor to form an alkenone, preferably by thermolysis under specific conditions; and a third step which uses the formed alkenone as a building block to synthesize the chemical. First step may be done in a liquid reaction medium comprising an alkenone or a halogenated alkenone precursor, or in a liquid reaction medium in turbulent state, specifically by creation of gas bubbles of the carboxylic acid halide herein. Second step may include a flash thermolysis, vacuum thermolysis, thermolysis under stripping with inert gas, and/or a thermolysis at a temperature from >90° C. to 120° C. Third step preferably comprises reacting the alkenone with a nitrogen-containing compound.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2013Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Solvay SAInventors: Max Braun, Stefan Palsherm, Uta Claassen, Alain Lambert

Publication number: 20120157695Abstract: Crude fluoroethylene carbonate obtained by the fluorination of ethylene carbonate and elemental fluorine containing not more than 5% by weight of HF is purified by at least two subsequent distillation steps. The bulk of HF can be removed, if desired, in a preliminary HF removal step, e.g., by stripping, before performing the distillation. Further, if desired, a second HF removal step can be performed by contacting the crude mixture or the distillate obtained after the first distillation step with an adsorbent for HF, e.g., silica gel. The distillation can be performed batch wise. It is preferred to perform the distillation continuously. It yields purified fluoroethylene carbonate with an HF content of equal to or less than 30 ppm. The purified fluoroethylene carbonate can be applied as solvent additive for lithium ion batteries.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2010Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: SOLVAY FLUOR GMBHInventors: Alain Lambert, Christoph Sommer, Harald Krueger, Jens Olschimke
