  • Publication number: 20070266853
    Abstract: For regenerating the loaded washing (scrubbing) agent (6, 7) from a physical gas wash (T1), in which one or more gas components are removed, to a large extent selectively, from a gas mixture (1) to be purified at least in a first of at least two successive washing steps, the loaded washing agent (7) withdrawn from the first washing step is, independently of the remaining quantity of loaded washing agent (6), subjected to a regeneration step (T2a) for separating the gas components (11) which have been selectively removed from the raw gas in the first washing step.

  • Patent number: 6939418
    Abstract: A process for thermomechanical treatment of steel for torsionally-strained spring elements, the initial material being heated with a heating rate of at least 50 K/s and austenitized, and then, being formed in at least one forming step with the formed product being quenched to below the martensite temperature to martensite and then tempered. To improve the strength or toughness properties of the spring steel in the strain direction of the torsionally strained spring elements so that the increase of vibration strength is considerable, the initial material is heated to a temperature above the recrystallization temperature and then formed at such a temperature, that dynamic and/or static recrystallization of the austenite occurs, and that the recrystallized austenite of the formed product is quenched.

  • Publication number: 20030213380
    Abstract: A press for pressing a mat into a thin panel has a press frame, upper and lower press plates on the frame, and upper and lower press belts having confronting lower and upper stretches defining a press gap extending in a horizontal and longitudinal transport direction and respectively running below and above the upper and lower press plates. Upper and lower flexible intake plates are juxtaposed respectively above and below upstream ends of the lower and upper stretches of the belts and define therewith a downstream portion of an intake mouth flaring upstream.
