Abstract: A method of operating a hydraulic or a pneumatic control device of a semi-automatic transmission. The control device has actuator devices with actuating cylinders. Pressure chambers of the actuating cylinders can each be connected, via a control valve, with a pressure line that can be selectively connected with a main pressure line, or blocked, via redundant and parallel positioned main switching valves. The control device has at least one sensor and at least one measured signal is captured by the at least one sensor, depending on the actuation of the main switching valves. The at least one measured signal or each captured measured signal is compared to a stored nominal signal for the respective actuation of the main switching valves and, if a deviation is determined between the measured signal and the respective nominal signal, a defect of at least one of the main switching valves is concluded.

Abstract: A heat recovery system includes a storage tank for an intermediate heat transfer fluid and a heat exchanger for receiving an intermittent flow of heated stack gas from a reheat furnace, whereby heating values from the stack gas are transferred to the heat transfer fluid. The system includes a steam generator and the heating values acquired by the heat transfer fluid are used to generate and to superheat the steam. The heat transfer medium is controlled so that the flow of superheated steam produced is substantially steady. The heated stack gas may be used to preheat boiler feed water used for steam generation. The processes used are also described.
