Abstract: A guide arrangement for portable power saws is made up of a guide plate adapted to be placed on the work and a stand plate fixed to the saw. The guide plate possesses a raised rail running in the feed direction of the saw. In use, the saw with the stand plate is placed on the guide plate so that a socket in the stand plate fits round the rail and the stand plate may then be moved along the guide plate on the rail, the guiding section straddling the rail and guiding the stand plate on the rail. The stand plate is fitted with a backlash limiter having an operating part acting against the side of the rail for reducing play between the rail and the stand plate. This means that the saw is guided in the length direction parallel to the rail of the guide plate and it is possible for straight cuts to be sawn with a high degree of accuracy without any danger of the saw running askew.The backlash limiter may take the form of a spring loaded member or one driven by a screw or threaded rod.

Abstract: This transfer nozzle consists of a nozzle body with a disk type cylindrical center part (21) and two axial nozzle cones (22,23). On a part of their height the nozzle cones (22, 23) are embraced by a sleeve-like collar (25, 26) and within the collars there are several axial passage openings (27, 28). A radial passage opening (30) through the center part (21) serves to receive a heating cartridge. The nozzle body (21, 22, 23) is supported by means of the outermost portions of the two collars (25, 26) on the one hand in the supporting basket (2) and on the other hand in the tool part (5), so that little heat can be lost to the cooled machine parts. The nozzle cavity (11) forms an air cushion around the center part (21) which also has a heat-insulating effect. Such a transfer nozzle has a low structural height and can keep the molding material warm from within, and by the axial arrangement of two nozzle cones the material is ejected with each molding.

Abstract: A process for producing a synthesis gas containing methane and using a reactor having a fuel containing carbon comprises directing gasification gases in a circulation system through a bed of fuel containing carbon to form a synthesis gas containing methane and carbon dioxide. Thereafter, the synthesis gas is cooled in a regenerator and subjected to the gas separation wherein the syngas is subjected to a gas cleansing by means of a pressure change absorption in a gas scrubber to remove most of the methane and carbon dioxide and its water content is increased. The separated gas is then heated and subsequently the portion is returned into the system together with the waste gases and fuel containing carbon. The process includes a 4-pole heater which includes the first heat exchange passage for the syngas which is cooled and a second heat exchange passage for the recirculation of the syngas and is further cooled and passed through a scrubber.
