Abstract: A gas generator (10) comprises a housing (12) in which a conical combustion chamber screen (52) terminates the combustion chamber (44). On the front side, the combustion chamber screen (52) is closed by an end cap (54) to which a filter element (60) is connected which has one or more axially projecting centering extensions (64) on the edge of the filter bottom (62).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a propylene copolymer composition, a molded article comprising the composition and the use of the propylene copolymer composition for preparing molded articles, preferably pipes.

Abstract: A pressure pipe with increased long-term pressure resistance is comprised of a polypropylene composition. The polypropylene composition is comprised of a polyproyplene copolymer which is at least partially crystallised in the ?-modification.

Abstract: The description refers to a pipe, especially a pressure pipe, with a pipe body extruded from polypropylene. To achieve a high resistance to a rapid crack formation, it is suggested that the pipe body consists of a polypropylene in a predominantly hexagonally crystallised &bgr;-form with a nucleation agent based on an amide.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high resistance polypropylene tube especially with a high modulus of elasticity in extension, high impact strength, annular rigidity and resistance towards knocks. The inventive tube is made of polypropylene and has a modulus of elasticity in extension of 1300-2300 N/mm2 and an impact strength of 60-110 kJ/m2. The inventive tube is produced by extrusion of a plastic moulding material consisting of two constituents A and B of composition A) 80-98 mass parts of an isotactic polypropylene homopolymer as a coherent matrix constituent with a decade regularity of >95% and B) 2-20 mass parts of a copolymer, consisting of 50-70 mass parts of propylene and 30-50 mass parts of ethylene and/or other C4-C8-&agr;-olefins as a dispersedly distributed elastomer component. The intrinsic viscosity ratio of both components B/A is 0.9-1.5 and the melt flow index of the moulding material is 0.15-0.8 g/10 min.

Abstract: In the process for recovering carbon disulfide from a steam/carbon disulfide mixture, which is produced when the wastewater from the yarn cutters and the suspension water are treated with steam during the manufacture of viscose rayon, the vapors so produced are cooled by means of a liquid spray, drawn out of the vapor condenser and then condensed. The non-condensable constituents are removed via a trap and the liquefied carbon disulfide is separated from the remaining water. Specifically, the liquid used to spray the vapors is preheated by the thermal energy recovered from the cooling of these vapors, and the hot water thus obtained is then used for other purposes.

Abstract: A continuous flow of cooling liquid is provided to a liquid ring pump conveying a flow of gas, such that the cooling liquid simultaneously acts as the working liquid in the pump. Gas that becomes dissolved in the cooling fluid during pumping is separated therefrom and is returned to join the pump gas inlet flow, and the cooling liquid is thereafter discharged to carry away any heat picked up from the pump. In an aspect of this invention, the degassing of dissolved gas from the exhaust cooling water flow leaving the pump is facilitated by forming a spray in a low-pressure degasser connected to the pump gas inlet.

Abstract: A process for the production of linear fiber-forming polyesters, especially polyethylene terephthalate, wherein vaporous reaction products are separated in an improved manner by suction withdrawal from the polymerization reactor through the action of a fluid vacuum jet or aspirator which is supplied with recirculated glycol vapor as the propellant or jet fluid for the aspirator and also by further suction through the action of a recirculated glycol liquid operating a liquid circulating vacuum pump in a final separation of non-condensable gases such as nitrogen from residual condensable vapors. The process is especially useful in preventing the discharge of the vaporous by-products into the surrounding environment during the production of the polyester product.
