Patent number: 6938563Abstract: A grate furnace with a grate includes grate steps made of grate elements lying next to one another. Every second grate step in the longitudinal direction of the grate can be driven for carrying out stoking movements and the grate steps in each case lying therebetween are stationary. Drive devices for driving the moveable grates are arranged in housing chambers and are in this way protected against impairment caused by material falling through the grate. A certain section of the housing chamber is open toward the bottom so that it is accessible even during operation of the grate furnace.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2003Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Martin GmbH Für Umwelt-und EnergietechnikInventors: Johannes Martin, Peter Weber, Werner Familler

Patent number: 6848609Abstract: In a method of making finned tubes as components of air-cooled systems or condensers, a sheet metal strip of aluminum is first shaped into a waved finned structure with plural fins in parallel relationship and arched ends for connecting the fins, thereby defining crests on opposite ends of the finned structure. A fluxing agent of cesium-aluminum tetrafluoride is applied in lines onto the crests on at least one of the ends of the finned structure. The finned structure is then placed upon a broad side of a flat steel tube coated with a zinc/aluminum alloy. The finned structure and the flat tube are subsequently joined in a brazing furnace in the presence of an inert gas at a temperature between 370° C. and 470° C. to produce a unitary structure which is then allowed to cool down at room temperature.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2003Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: GEA Energietechnik GmbHInventors: Benedict Korischem, Horia Dinulescu, Raimund Witte, Eckard Volkmer

Patent number: 6814013Abstract: In the process for treating incineration residues from waste incineration plants, the incineration material is incinerated on a furnace grate. The incineration residues produced are quenched in a wet slag remover and conveyed out of the latter. The wet incineration residues which come out of the wet slag remover are firstly divided into two fractions by means of a screening operation, after which the main fraction is washed with water taken from the wet slag remover, and in the process adhering fine pieces are separated off. The washed pieces of the incineration residues are fed for reuse. The washing water together with the ultra fine pieces which have been taken up during the washing operation pass into the wet slag remover. The fine fraction produced during the mechanical separation operation is fed back to the incineration operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2003Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignees: Martin GmbH für Umwelt-und Energietechnik, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Johannes Martin, Oliver Gohlke, Joachim Horn, Michael Busch

Patent number: 6793770Abstract: The invention concerns an evaporator, especially for the sugar industry, with at least two heat exchangers, into the top of which the medium to be concentrated is loaded and which are heated with steam with different compositions and/or different pressures in a cross stream, wherein the concentrated medium and the exhaust steam generated, after they come out of the heat exchanger, are carried off separately. To produce an evaporator that is simple and inexpensive in design, the invention proposes that the medium to be concentrated be loaded by a medium distribution common to all heat exchangers and the medium leaving the first heat exchanger go directly into the next heat exchanger. Only after the medium comes out of the second heat exchanger are the exhaust steam and the medium separated. The steam spaces in the heat exchanger separated from the exhaust steam space are separated from one another by a common dividing wall.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2000Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: Balcke-Durr Energietechnik GmbHInventors: Klaus Niepoth, Boris Morgenroth

Patent number: 6615507Abstract: The invention provides a mixer for mixing gases and other Newton liquids, with a flow channel and built-in surfaces arranged in the flow channel that influence the flow. The built-in surfaces are vortex-generating surfaces with free surging leading edges directed against the flow whose path, the surging leading edges having both a component running in the main flow direction of the gas and a component running transverse to it. To make mixing fast and the mixing distance short, several built-in surfaces of the same type are arranged in a row basically transverse to the main flow direction. Built-in surfaces next to one another overlap in relation to the main flow direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2001Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: Balcke-Durr Energietechnik GmbHInventors: Hans Ruscheweyh, Michael Kaatz
