Abstract: The present application provides a once-through evaporator system. The once-through evaporator system may include a number of once-through evaporator sections having an upstream distribution valve and a downstream temperature sensor and a position controller in communication with each distribution valve.

Abstract: The present application provides a method of adjusting a feedwater mass flow rate to maintain a constant steam temperature in an evaporator section. The method may include the steps of determining a change in a number of operational parameters, predicting a change in steam temperature based on the number of operational parameters, combining the predicted changes in steam temperature, determining a feedforward signal based on dynamically offsetting the combined predicted changes in steam temperature, and changing the mass flow rate of feedwater based on the feedforward signal.

Abstract: The present application provides a once-through evaporator system. The once-through evaporator system may include a number of once-through evaporator sections with a distribution valve and a level sensor and a controller in communication with each distribution valve. The controller provides the distribution valve with a position set point and biases the position set point via a feedforward signal based on a fill level as determined by the level sensor in each of the once-through evaporator sections.

Abstract: The present application provides a once-through evaporator system. The once-through evaporator system may include a number of enlarged once-through evaporator sections, a first superheater positioned immediately downstream of the enlarged once-through evaporator sections, a second superheater positioned downstream of the first superheater, and an attemperator positioned between the first superheater and the second superheater.

Abstract: A hook in conjunction with an element to be inserted into the hook interior has an opening, via which opening the element can be inserted into the hook interior, wherein a hook partial region adjoining the opening includes an adhesion element having an adhesion surface directed toward the element and/or the element includes an adhesion element having an adhesion surface directed toward the hook partial region adjoining the opening.

Abstract: The invention describes a device (1) for calibrating a sintered molded part (2) with an angular toothing (3) by means of a calibrating tool (4), comprising a lower punch (15) for mounting the sintered molded part (2) with a lower punch external toothing (23), a vertically movable and axially rotatably mounted upper punch (8) with an upper punch external toothing (21), as well as an axially rotatably mounted die (14) with a die internal toothing (24). The lower punch (15) is mounted to be moveable only in vertical direction.

Abstract: The invention describes a method of machining a toothing (7) on an outer circumference (6) or an inner circumference of a work piece (2) made of pressed and sintered powder metal, by means of a rolling process carried out on the toothing (7) with two rotating section rolling wheels (8) which section toothing (13) engaging in the toothing of work piece (2). The two section rolling wheels (8) are rotatably arranged in a common support frame (10) with an at least approximately constant distance between their section rolling wheel axles (9).

Abstract: The invention relates to a vane pump (1), in particular a regulatable oil pump for a lubricating system, with a pump housing (2) with at least one housing tank (6) and with a vane rotor (11) disposed in the housing tank (6) mounted so that it can be rotated by means of a drive shaft (10) in the pump housing (2) constituting an axis of rotation (23) which provides a mount for vanes (15) in approximately radially extending fitting slots (14). An adjusting ring (27) is provided enclosing the vane rotor (11) and circumferentially bounding pump cells (26) which, by means of a cylindrical internal wall surface (31), can be displaced between a concentric position with respect to the vane rotor (11) and an eccentric position relative thereto, to which pressured is applied by positioning torques caused by the medium pressure and a positioning mechanism (47) in order to regulate a pressure level.
