  • Patent number: 10048027
    Abstract: A method for cleaning tube bundles with open end faces, in particular tube bundles of heat exchangers, air coolers, or condensers. A cleaning device which has at least one cleaning unit is positioned adjacently to the open ends of the tube bundle, and the at least one cleaning unit which has a high-pressure hose is then arranged in a successive manner by a controller so as to be flush with the respective tube of the tube bundle. The cleaning unit is inserted into the respective tube and supplied with a liquid under high-pressure. The aim of the invention is to improve such a method and device such that a reliable cleaning process is carried out without operating errors. This is achieved in that the insert depth is measured when inserting the at least one cleaning unit into the respective tube and monitored by the controller.

  • Patent number: 10050391
    Abstract: Provided a holding frame for a plug connector with a good heat resistance and a high mechanical robustness and to enable a protective earthing during installation in a metallic plug connector housing, yet at the same time guarantee a convenient serviceability, in particular during replacement of individual modules. To achieve this aim, the manufacture of the holding frame at least partially from resilient sheet metal is proposed. Due to the resilient properties of the sheet metal, it is possible to insert or remove modules with very little effort. The sheet metal can be bent and/or folded in certain regions and can thereby be strengthened in targeted regions, in order to achieve a particularly advantageous combination of holding and actuating forces.
