Abstract: A housing for a solar absorber module for a solar thermal power plant is described. The housing has a first tapered housing section with a first free end to accommodate a ceramic solar absorber element and a second end with a reduced cross-sectional area compared to the first end. The housing also has a second housing section with a cross-section substantially constant over its length. The second housing section is linked to the second end of the first housing section. A wall with a plurality of openings and extending across the entire internal cross-section of the first housing section is arranged in the first tapered housing section. A method for producing such housing is also described, as well as a method for fastening the housing to a support structure.

Abstract: A solar absorber module is described. The module has a housing with a longitudinal axis with a first tapered housing section with a first, free end, and a second end with a reduced cross-sectional area compared to the first end, and with a second housing section adjoining the second end of the first housing section with a substantially constant cross-section over its length. The module also has a ceramic solar absorber element accommodated in the first end of the first housing section with a first surface that can be oriented toward the solar radiation with an axis of symmetry, and a second surface lying across from the first surface, wherein the solar absorber element has a large number of substantially straight channels connecting the first surface to the second surface. The solar absorber module is accommodated in the first end of the first housing section such that the axis of symmetry of the first surface is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for removing residue in a furnace chamber of a furnace, in particular a sintering furnace, comprising a scraper frame which is designed in such a way that it can be inserted into the furnace chamber and moved in the latter, and also at least one scraper element, which is arranged on the scraper frame in such a way that, by means of the scraper element, the residue can be removed at least on side walls and/or a ceiling of the furnace chamber when the scraper frame is moved. With said device, it should be possible to remove deposits in the furnace chamber in a simple and efficient manner without substantially impairing the progress of production.

Abstract: A filter element, a particle filter, a method for marking a filter element, a method for producing a particle filter and the use of a filter element are described. With such methods and filter elements, individual filter elements can be securely adhered in a simple manner to form a filter. An identification means is applied to the end surfaces of each filter element for producing a particle filter, thus enabling the defined orientation of the filter elements for the adhesive process and preventing erroneous adhesion.

Abstract: A high-temperature-stable hollow profile is described. The hollow profile is provided with side walls and transverse walls. Wall thicknesses of the side walls and of the transverse walls increase in cross-section from a central region to a corner region of the hollow profile.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for supporting, stacking, and transporting kiln run, in particular for firing ceramic products, comprising an assembly of supports and support beams, like carrier beams and cross beams, on which, in particular one or several supports for placing the kiln run are provided. Thus, for supporting at least one support beam, at least one loose bearing is provided, comprising a support body, moveably disposed, substantially in the direction of the support beam.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for supporting, stacking and transporting kiln run, in particular, when firing ceramic products, comprising an assembly from supports and support beams, in particular carrier beams, cross beams, large plates or similar, on which, in particular, one or several supports for placing kiln run are provided. The device comprises at least one substantially rectangular sleeve, in particular disposed on a kiln cart. In this sleeve a substantially rectangular support of the support assembly is disposed, wherein the sleeve has at least one adjustment means, which is supported in the sleeve, and which can be pressed against the support, wherein the sleeve additionally comprises at least one pressure means, formed from at least one elastic element, which is preloaded through the impact of the adjustment devices, so that it builds up reversal forces against the support.

Abstract: A heat protection body for a protection system for an internal wall of a furnace includes a front, a rear, and edge sides that connect the front to the rear. The heat protection body is characterized in that at its rear it comprises at least one retaining element which is made from the same material as is the heat protection body. The heat protection body can be used within a protection system for a boiler tube wall as well as in a method for installing such a protection system.
