  • Publication number: 20250145481
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a process for ammonia synthesis. An example includes: passing a feed gas via an inlet opening over a catalyst within a reactor, wherein the feed gas comprises nitrogen and hydrogen under pressure; passing ammonia produced in the reactor as a wet gas to a condensation unit comprising three heat exchangers configured monolithically with one another, wherein the ammonia condenses; and discharging the subcooled liquid pressurized condensate through a collection channel and discharging the dry gas via an outlet opening. The first heat exchanger causes the wet gas to exchange heat with a dry gas from which ammonia has already condensed, producing a cooled wet gas. The second heat exchanger separates the wet gas into gaseous reactants and a liquid pressurized condensate. The third heat exchanger subcools the liquid pressurized condensate.

  • Patent number: 12290936
    Abstract: A numerical controller uses specifications to control position-controlled axes of a production machine and determines a current group of position setpoint values and groups of position setpoint values expected for a forecast horizon. The numerical controller checks for the risk of a collision between at least one element moved by the position-controlled axes and at least one other element. The numerical controller carries out the same check for the expected groups. If there is no risk of collision, it stores the expected groups in a braking path memory and uses the current group. If there is the risk of a collision, it changes the axes along a path to a standstill defined by the braking path memory and braking is effected along a path which has been previously checked for the risk of a collision and for which no risk of a collision has been detected.

  • Patent number: 12291984
    Abstract: A method for evaluating a sensor signal of an exhaust NOx sensor, which is disposed downstream of a three-way catalytic converter in an exhaust system of a spark ignition internal combustion engine. An ammonia factor is modeled downstream of the three-way catalytic converter using an ammonia formation model. A NOx emission is modeled in the exhaust system downstream of the three-way catalytic converter using a NOx model. The modeled ammonia emissions and the modeled NOx emission are separated by a separation algorithm using the sensor signal of the exhaust NOx sensor. The separation algorithm provides quantitative information about the tailpipe ammonia emissions and the tailpipe NOx emissions of the spark ignition internal combustion engine. An engine control unit and an internal combustion engine for carrying out such a method are also provided.
