  • Patent number: 11654394
    Abstract: A method and installation for removing a gas from a flow of a gas mixture. A first liquid (82) is introduced in the flow (106) for evaporative cooling and saturation of the gas mixture. Small droplets of a second liquid (84) are provided which are capable of adsorbing and dissolving said gas and of a size small enough not to be sedimented by gravitation and big enough to be centrifugally separated. The small droplets are sprayed into the flow for adsorbing and dissolving said gas into the droplets, and the small droplets are centrifugally separated from the flow.

  • Publication number: 20220317013
    Abstract: A method of separating particles (P) having different sedimentation velocities in a fluid sample (30) through centrifugal sedimentation comprises enclosing the sample (30) and rotating the sample about a primary axis (12) outside the sample at a first rotational speed (?), and about a secondary axis (22) located in the center of the sample at a second rotational speed (?), for subjecting the sample to a varying centrifugal field until each particle (P) has settled at a position which depends on the sedimentation velocity of the particle.

  • Patent number: 10246310
    Abstract: A large mobile crane including an undercarriage. The undercarriage includes a middle section between tracks, wherein a distance between the tracks can be increased or decreased by the insertion or removal of expansion parts. The two tracks are connected on opposite sides of the undercarriage to permit movement of the large mobile crane. The undercarriage also includes a drive unit, a superstructure, one or more control stations, at least two main booms, at least one derrick boom, and at least two lifting devices and counterweights. The counterweights are either arranged separately of or mounted on the undercarriage. The large mobile crane further includes a circular track, and support rollers attached to the superstructure, wherein the support rollers ride on the circular track, and wherein the circular track is an integral part of the expansion parts.
