Abstract: A heater comprising two separate tube nests of which one (29) heats the circulating water by condensation and supercooling and the other (39) heats a partial flow of this water by the desuperheating of steam. Steam is admitted through pipe (16). The foregoing partial flow of water comes from the desuperheating zone of a heater located downstream and is admitted through a manifold (41). Pipes (39) are wound round a central drum (43).

Abstract: A thermoformed sheet 1 for a plate-type gas-gas heat exchanger of the type comprising a case in which are stacked parallel plates spaced from each other by lateral spacing means, these plates having at their ends pointed regions provided with elements for alternately closing one of the two sides of the point, the case further comprising walls connected in a fluidtight manner to the pointed portions of the ends of the plates so as to form distinct inlet and outlet conduits for the gases which circulate in a countercurrent manner in the alternating spaces formed by the plates, this sheet being characterized in that it comprises a series of identical rows of elongated patterns 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d having edge portions folded on one side or the other of the sheet, each pattern comprising two parallel longitudinal edge portions 3a, 4a; 3b, 4b; 3c, 4c, 3d, 4d by which it is connected to the adjacent patterns so as to form a row and terminating in two pointed end portions 8a, 9a; 8b, 9b; 8c; 9c; 8d, 9d by which the patter

Abstract: A synergistic, aqueous, free flowing defoaming composition comprising as the primary component an aqueous hydrophobic dispersion of an alcohol of 14-28 carbon atoms, a fatty acid of 14-28 carbon atoms, a soap of a fatty acid of 14-28 carbon atoms and a nonionic or anionic surfactant, and as a secondary component a dispersion of a hydrophobic solid in a water insoluble liquid.

Abstract: An "open-end" method of spinning using a device comprising a supply device, a disintegrating means, a rotor, an outlet end member, a supply device and a winding device, characterized in that means are provided for giving the "fibre deposition zone" (11) a speed equal to that of the "fibre formation zone" and in that the zones are actuated so that the fibres (10) coming from the disintegrator cannot be deposited on the thread (14) being formed.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process of preparing relaxin from aqueous, decaseined milk or milk concentrate. Proteins are precipitated and separated, and a relaxin-containing precipitate is produced subsequently. The relaxin-containing precipitate is then purified in the customary manner. There is also disclosed a pharmaceutically active product containing such relaxin.

Abstract: In a steam generating system, steam condensate extracted from steam used to reheat boiler water in heaters (H1, . . . , H4) is revaporized in the recuperators-vaporizers (RV1, . . . , RV3) by heat exchange contact with the flue gas from boiler (B). The steam thus formed is recycled to contribute to the reheating of the water fed to the boiler.

Abstract: An apparatus for pressure-treating meat, in particular uncooked ham before pickling brine is introduced, is provided with two opposed, rotating pressure rollers supported in a housing, which are provided on their jacket face with protrusions, teeth or studs or ribs extending along or obliquely with respect to the jacket lines. The grooves located between the studs are embodied in gabled fashion, as seen in cross section, on at least one of the pressure rollers. The circumferential circle through the tips of the gables of the grooves may be smaller by 0.5-5 mm, and preferably 1-2 mm, than the circumferential circle around the studs.

Abstract: Apparatus for treating meat, in particular for the purpose of improving its ability to absorb a curing liquid prior to cooking, comprises a frame mounting at least two spaced-apart side-by-side rollers which are rotated in opposite senses as meat to be treated is passed therebetween. To improve the effectiveness of treatment, the rollers are formed as pressure rollers arranged such that the spacing therebetween automatically varies to accommodate different thicknesses of meat. Preferably, each pressure roller is removably mounted in the frame by connecting one end of the roller to a drive shaft by a quick-release coupling and by mounting the other end in a bearing assembly releasably connected to the frame.
