  • Patent number: 5837192
    Abstract: When reactors charged with nitrogen as inert-blanketing gas are opened, high losses of inert-blanketing gas occur which previously have only been able to be compensated for by increased feed of inert-blanketing gas. To minimize the consumption of inert-blanketing gas during temporary opening of reactors (1), a further inert-blanketing gas is admixed to the nitrogen. The inert-blanketing gas mixture in the process has a density which is slightly greater than the density of the surrounding air.

  • Patent number: 5829575
    Abstract: A load bar assembly is connected for movement with a continuous conveyor system having a path of travel that includes 90 degree turns for transporting goods in an industrial facility to various locations along the path of travel of the conveyor system. The load bar assembly includes an elongate load bar from which the goods are suspended, and the overall bar is significantly longer than the radius of curvature of the smallest 90 degree turn of the conveyor system. To prevent binding of the load bar as it travels along the curved portions of the continuous conveyor system, connection of the load bar to the conveyor system includes two spaced apart attachment points, at least one of which is movable toward and away from the other.

  • Patent number: 5830977
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for the isolation of partially crystalline polycarbonate powder or oligocarbonate powder from solutions thereof, in which process the organic solvent of a polycarbonate solution is vaporized in a heat exchanger, optionally with incorporation of steam, or in a holding tube with incorporation of steam and the pasty mixture of concentrated solution, solvent vapor and optionally water is separated in a separator. In this process, the solvent vapor is condensed in a heat exchanger downstream from the separator. The solvent is vaporized in the heat exchanger by indirect input of heat through the heat exchanger walls and vaporization may be promoted by preheating the polycarbonate or oligocarbonate solution in an upstream heat exchanger or by introducing steam or both.
