Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing ancillary services to an electrical grid. The ancillary services are related to frequency reserve provision, voltage and/or reactive power control and peak power reduction. The method is based a fleet of vehicles, partly driven by electrical power and comprises a step of changing the mode of operation for the vehicles and thereby altering the available electrical power in the electrical grid.

Abstract: An aqueous dispersion comprising particles of a zeolite having a hydrophobicity of below about 9.0 percent by weight residual butanol as determined by the Residual Butanol Test, which dispersion comprises a stabilizing amount of biogum. Production of the dispersion comprising mixing zeolite particles with a biogum into a dry mixture; and mixing the dry mixture with water under agitation into a homogeneous mixture. Use of the dispersion for binding particles of zeolite to fibers. Production of paper or paperboard by forming and dewatering a suspension of cellulosic fibers wherein dewatering is carried out in the presence of particles of a zeolite, the dispersion being added to the suspension prior to dewatering. Production of dry-laid paper, nonwoven or fluff pulp, in which cellulosic fibers are carried by a gas stream, in which the dispersion is sprayed onto the fibers while they are carried by the gas stream.

Abstract: The invention concerns an electrical contact nut (1) primarily intended to be welded to a sheet steel component (8) of a motor vehicle, and comprising a first, preferably cylindrical portion (2) and a second, wider portion (3) at one end of the first portion (2). On its side facing the first portion (2), the second portion (3) is provided with an annular member (4) of a weldable material. By means of its first portion (2), the nut (1) may be introduced into an aperture (7) formed in the sheet metal component (8) until the annular welding member (4) abuts against the sheet metal component (8). In this position, the nut may be welded to the component (8).

Abstract: A gasket groove at plate elements of plate heat exchangers, characterized in that a first gasket groove of a plate element (1; 2), as seen in cross section, extends between the limiting planes of the element and has an elevation (3) arranged in the bottom of the groove, which elevation forms a cavity on the other side of the groove and consequently also the element, which cavity forms a second gasket groove cooperating with a corresponding cavity (3) of an adjacent, reversed first gasket groove of a second plate element (2; 1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a packing groove in a plate member for a heat exchanger, especially to a packing groove at the inlet and outlet portions of the plate member. The bottom of the packing groove includes according to the invention strengthening bars, which are embossed in the bottom of the packing groove and extend substantially along the groove.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of lining a connection opening for fluid in a frame plate of a plate heat exchanger. A pipe socket with a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the opening is provided with a flange and placed in the opening, and the flange abutting the undepressed area about the opening on the inside of the plate has a thickness not exceeding 1 mm. On the outside of the plate the portion of the socket projecting there is provided with a flange to abut the undepressed area about the opening on the other side of the plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of embossing heat exchanger plates in several steps by a pressing tool, in that after a portion of the sheet blank has been embossed a subsequent portion of the blank is embossed, after this has been positioned and fixed in place between the punch and the die of the press. The positioning and clamping takes place in such a manner that a groove with zigzag extension pressed at the preceding embossing step in the sheet is caused to engage between a groove and, respectively, a bead arranged in the punch and the die which prior to the embossing are moved against each other and inside of the plane of the punch and, respectively, die by spring force.

Abstract: The gasket grooves of plate elements are disposed in an intermediate plane. The gasket then will abut the distance members of both adjacent plate elements in its own gasket groove and parts of the respective distance members. The plate elements are fixed relative to each other when the plate elements are clamped together. The gaskets act as guide strips.
