  • METHOD OF OPERATING A REFRIGERATION CYCLE APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20230358450
    Abstract: A method of operating a refrigeration cycle apparatus uses a compressor to compress a coolant. The compressed coolant is fed to a condenser for release of heat, the condensed coolant is later fed to a primary side of an internal heat exchanger for release of heat, and the cooled coolant is guided through an expansion device. The coolant expanded in the expansion device is fed to an evaporator for absorption of heat, the evaporated coolant is later fed to a secondary side of the internal heat exchanger for absorption of heat, and the heated coolant is fed to the compressor. For suction gas temperature control, an amount of heat transferred from the primary side to the secondary side of the internal heat exchanger is controlled with the aid of an additional expansion device arranged parallel to the heat exchanger and between the condenser and the evaporator.

  • REACTOR FOR THE CATALYTIC TREATMENT OF A GAS STREAM
    Publication number: 20230356163
    Abstract: A reactor may have a catalyst bed for the catalytic treatment of a gas stream, with the catalyst bed extending substantially over a cross section of the reactor. Gas to be treated may axially fly through the catalyst bed. A carrier structure for the catalyst bed that is at least partly floatingly mounted in the reactor may include a sieve element and, radially outwardly, carrier elements fixedly joined to the reactor wall below the sieve element. The sieve element provides a resting surface for the catalyst bed. The sieve element terminates, radially outwardly, at a distance from the reactor wall. The carrier structure also includes support elements for the sieve element that are floatingly mounted in the reactor. An improved floating mounting is thus provided where not only the sieve element itself but also further parts of the carrier structure are mounted to prevent stresses due to thermal expansion.
