Abstract: A method for producing an exhaust-gas aftertreatment device (2) inserts a monolith (8) in a housing (4), assembled from a circumferentially enclosed jacket (5) and two end funnels. The monolith (8) is axially inserted into the jacket (5) with a circumferentially enclosing support mat (9). The funnels (6) are connected to the jacket (5) via an axial connecting section (10) shaped complementary to the cross-section of the jacket (5), such that each connecting section (10) and an axial end section (25) of the support mat (9) axially overlap. The jacket (5), including the connecting sections (10) of the funnels (6) from a starting cross-section (13) to an end cross-section (15). This produces a predetermined radial preload in the support mat (9) in a support area (16) extending from the one connecting section (10) to the other connecting section (10) to retain the monolith (8) in the jacket (5).

Abstract: A carrier plate has test areas for the assessment of a selective soldering process. The carrier plate has different zones, which are provided with peripheral borders. The zones are not wettable with solder, while the peripheral borders are wettable. if a selective soldering head is brought up to the reference areas, then, as long as there is no deficiency in quality, the respective peripheral border must be just wetted with solder, whereby an assessment of the selective soldering process is possible. The test plate advantageously makes a simple optical evaluation possible, for example by visual inspection.

Abstract: A method which allows items, contained in a processing chamber, to be effectively and efficiently dried from an economical point of view and the energy consumption to be thus maintained as low as possible, despite a very high drying power. The method includes subjecting a medium in a container to at least one of an evaporation step and a sublimation step, whereby the medium is cooled, and absorbing via a reversibly dehydratable material in a sorber vapor produced by the medium in the container, whereby the reversibly dehydratable material is thereby heated. Air supplied from a processing chamber to the cooled medium is cooled and dehumidified. This air is then heated via contact with the reversibly dehydratable material and fed back into the processing chamber.

Abstract: A method la proposed for producing a plate heat exchanger with flow channels through which a first and a second medium flow, the flow channels formed for the first medium between individual plates joined together to form a pair of plates, and for the second medium between pairs of plates joined together to form a stack of plates. For a cost-effective production of countercurrent flow plates and cross flow plates within a single manufacturing plant, the individual plates are produced from a non-pressed plate blank, wherein first a tool is converted with exchangeable mold members for producing cross flow plates or countercurrent flow plates, and subsequently, the plate blank is pressed by the converted tool into a cross flow plate or a countercurrent flow plate, thereby forming corresponding edges and/or contact surfaces as well as inflow and outflow cross-sections.
