Abstract: A load carrier for an aircraft cargo hold includes a bottom element with a support surface, the load carrier being movable over a floor surface in a floor plane while the support surface faces the floor surface, the bottom element having a base surface. The support surface has rolling elements rotatable about a rotation axis oriented where a parallel to the axis runs parallel to the floor plane, and the rolling elements being retained on the bottom element where the rotation axis of each of the rolling elements can be rotated about a vertical axis running perpendicularly to the floor plane. A load carrier can include a bottom element, the support surface of which has outlet openings, through which air can exit from the support surface to form an air cushion under the support surface. A load carrier can include a bottom element the support surface of which has slider elements.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the combustion or gasification of highly viscous nd/or suspended fuel in a burner flame. The fuel is introduced, in a nozzle, and in the form of a continuous, thin, annular layer, into a stream of atomizing medium, with the aid of which the fuel is atomized. The fuel is guided onto the inner wall of the nozzle as a continuous film at a velocity that is low with regard to wear action. The fuel is atomized at a terminal portion of the nozzle that has a knife-edge configuration. The fuel and the atomizing medium stream that flows within the annular film discharge at a minor resonant velocity.

Abstract: A method and annular burner for binding sulfur and other impurities during the combustion of fuels that contain such impurities. The fuel is burned in an annular burner flame that has an internal recirculation zone. An additive in the form of an aqueous suspension is sprayed into the combustion chamber via at least one two-component atomizing nozzle, and the additive is mixed with the gases of the flame under optimum reaction conditions. In order to enable a particularly favorable binding of noxious material, an atomizing nozzle for the additive is disposed in the central portion of the annular burner, and the additive is sprayed as an external mixture, via the atomizing nozzle, along the longitudinal axis of the burner flame, as a fine or narrow stream, through the internal recirculation zone and into the flame.
