Publication number: 20240158100Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for servicing an aircraft by a ground service unit. The method comprises reading a wireless parameter signal from a transponder at the aircraft, decoding the wireless parameter signal to derive at least one aircraft parameter of a water supply system and/or a waste system of the aircraft, moving a servicing equipment interface to a service panel of the aircraft, connecting the servicing equipment interface to a coupling at the service panel, servicing the aircraft via the servicing equipment interface corresponding to the at least one aircraft parameter, and writing a service parameter into the transponder at the aircraft.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Frank SCHNEIDER, Hannes MÜLLER, Michael REMPE, Tim LÜBBERT, Frederik ALBERS

Publication number: 20240141630Abstract: A water supply system for a plurality of water consumer units in an aircraft. The system includes a main tank configured to store a main supply of water, a main water pipe connected to an outlet of the main tank, and a plurality of water networks, each configured to conduct water from the main tank to at least one of the plurality of water consumer units. The plurality of water consumer units is partitioned in a first group of water consumer units and at least a second group of water consumer units. Each of the plurality of water networks includes a conveying device configured to convey water to each water consumer unit of one of the groups. The water supply system further includes a cross-feed valve configured to fluidically connect or separate the plurality of water networks downstream of the conveying devices in the plurality of water networks.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Frederik ALBERS, Frank SCHNEIDER, Hannes MÜLLER, Axel SCHREINER, Tim LÜBBERT, Michael REMPE

Publication number: 20240083770Abstract: A method for operating an on-board water supply and distribution system of an aircraft for supplying water includes a central tank, consumer assemblies with a supply device and a buffer tank, pump operable in a supply mode and reverse mode, filter device, and high-pressure conduit system. The central tank connects to the pump's upstream side. The conduit system connects the downstream side and consumer assemblies. The pump in supply mode delivers water from the downstream side to the buffer tank. In reverse mode, the pump can convey water from the downstream side to the upstream side. The method includes operating the pump in supply mode so water from the central tank goes to a consumer assembly in a first time interval to fill the buffer tank, and operating the pump in reverse mode in a second time interval so water from the buffer tank passes through the filter device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Frank Schneider, Hannes Müller, Axel Schreiner, Tim Lübbert, Frederik Albers, Michael Rempe

Publication number: 20240068206Abstract: A method for operating an on-board water supply and distribution system of an aircraft for supplying water includes a central water tank, first consumer assemblies with buffer tanks each including a heater to heat up water in the buffer tank to a disinfection temperature, pump having upstream and downstream sides to operate in supply and reverse modes, and high-pressure conduit system. The central water tank connects to the pump's upstream side. The conduit system connects the downstream side with a first consumer assembly. The method includes operating the pump in supply mode where water from the central tank goes to a first consumer assembly to fill a buffer tank, operating a buffer tank heater so water heats to a predetermined disinfection temperature, and operating the pump in reverse mode so heated water passes through a part of the conduit system and the upstream side of the pump.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Frank Schneider, Hannes Müller, Axel Schreiner, Tim Lübbert, Frederik Albers, Michael Rempe

Patent number: 10399085Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for disintegrating a recyclable item in a material-selective manner and using the electrohydraulic effect, an electric discharge being generated, in a container filled with a liquid, using a pulsed current source and within an underwater spark gab between a container base-side electrode and at least one container cover-side electrode that points towards the first electrode, with electric discharge having an average field strength of less than or equal to 5 kV/mm and a pulse or discharge energy of greater than 10 J, and being generated at least substantially in the liquid. In the container, the recyclable item lies partially in the underwater spark gab on the container base-side.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2012Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: ImpulsTec GmbHInventors: Tim Müller, Leonid Gelfond, Stefan Eisert

Publication number: 20180238303Abstract: A method for operating a wind farm with a number of wind power installations is provided. Each wind power installation respectively has a nacelle with an aerodynamic rotor with one or more rotor blades and a generator. Each of the wind power installations is variable in its azimuth position and at least two of the wind power installations are so close together that, depending on the direction of the wind, they can influence one another by way of the wind. At least a first of the wind power installations is cut back in dependence on its azimuth position in order to positively influence the wind for a further wind power installation arranged downwind of the first.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2016Publication date: August 23, 2018Applicant: Wobben Properties GmbHInventors: Wolfgang DE BOER, Tim MÜLLER, Harro HARMS

Patent number: 8138411Abstract: The photovoltaic system includes a plurality of photovoltaic modules which are connected to form a string or several strings connected in parallel, thereby forming a photovoltaic generator having a positive terminal and negative terminal. A DC constant voltage source connected to the photovoltaic generator to raise the potential of the positive terminal relative to ground potential. This reduces the flow of electrons out of the TCO layer of the modules, thereby reducing or completely eliminating cathode discharges which damage the modules.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2008Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Adensis GmbHInventors: Bernhard Beck, Tim Müller
