Publication number: 20150174521Abstract: The invention relates to a method of shutting down at least part of a gas scrub (G), and to a gas scrub (G) which comprises an absorber (A) and a regeneration part (R). In normal operation a scrubbing medium (1) is circulated in a scrubbing medium circuit and thus loaded in the absorber (A) at elevated pressure with substances removed from a gas mixture. The substances are removed from the loaded scrubbing medium (2) in the regeneration part (R). Scrubbing medium (3) is removed from the scrubbing medium circuit, transferred into a storage tank (S) and stored there at atmospheric pressure. Loaded scrubbing medium (3) is warmed (E1) and intermediately stored at elevated pressure in a degassing vessel (Z) in order to remove absorbed substances (5) from the scrubbing medium before it is passed into the storage tank (S).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2014Publication date: June 25, 2015Applicant: LINDE AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Ulvi KERESTECIOGLU, Werner MAYER

Patent number: 7123885Abstract: Located on the right and left sides of a housing of an automobile radio for example is one detent spring each projecting from the housing, which spring is retractable to enable insertion of the housing into a mounting slot and which, by rotating a catch, is retractable into the housing. By rotating the catches in the other direction of rotation, the detent springs are again released. Disposed eccentrically on the top side of each catch is a pin for which a guide channel is located in the mounting slot so that the housing may be inserted into the mounting slot only with the detent springs projecting from the housing. After complete insertion of the housing into the mounting slot, the detent springs snap in place against detent edges of the mounting slot to lock the housing in place. To remove the housing from the mounting slot, the detent springs are retracted into the housing by rotating the catch.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2002Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Harman Becker Automotive Systems, GmbHInventor: Werner Mayer
