  • Patent number: 12584607
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an illumination unit, in particular an elongated illumination unit, on the outside of a motor vehicle, comprising a housing having at least one light emission opening which is closed by a light-transmissive cover plate, wherein the housing has two end regions, arranged in which in each case is an illumination assembly having at least one light source that is designed to emit light through the cover plate. In a rear housing wall, i.e., in a rear wall of the housing, between the two end illumination assemblies are arranged at least one air inlet opening and, separate therefrom, at least one air outlet opening, wherein the air inlet opening is connected to the vehicle interior of the motor vehicle, whereas the air outlet opening is connected to an outer area of the motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10088155
    Abstract: The invention relates to a central burner for multi-fuel multiple lance burner systems having a central lance with an inner pipe and an outer pipe. The inner pipe and the outer pipe form an annular clearance duct. A plurality of outer lances are arranged around the central lance. A funnel-like mixing device is provided in the extension of the annular clearance duct in the region of the end of the inner pipe. This funnel-like mixing device has openings in its wall for combustion media to flow through. The outer lances each have a nozzle which has openings along the lateral circumferential area, said openings being arranged asymmetrically.

  • Publication number: 20140231555
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for grinding mill material and to a roller mill and is suited in particular to a finest grinding of relatively hard and dry materials, for example cement clinker and granulated blast furnace slag and also for relatively large roller mills. In order to avoid mill vibrations due to over-grinding of the mill material and to reduce the specific work requirement as well as increasing the throughput a fine material nozzle is arranged after each grinding roller, from which fine material nozzle an air jet with defined impulse is directed from above onto a fine material concentration zone. The fine material concentration zone is formed directly after the grinding zone of each grinding roller and is virtually free of supplied material to be ground and accumulated on a retention rim region. The fine material blown outwards and upwards is fed to a rising conveying air flow and subsequent classifying process.

  • Publication number: 20140144353
    Abstract: The invention relates to a solid fired hot gas generator which comprises a plurality of solid burners for extending the regulating range, which form a multiple solid burner with an enlarged regulating range. A solid feed and a combustion air feed are assigned to each solid burner and with the aid of a dosing means a separate, dosed solid feed to each solid burner is guaranteed. The firing power of the multiple solid burner which is in particular a multiple impulse burner extends from the minimum power of one of the solid burners to the maximum power of all solid burners so that a regulation of all necessary load regions of a plant unit to be supplied is covered.

  • Publication number: 20110132813
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for classifying a ground material-fluid mixture and a mill classifier, in particular for carrying out the method according to the invention. In order to improve the grinding and classification process, the subsequent dust separation and in particular to optimise the energy situation of a grinding plant, it is provided according to the invention that the fine material-fluid flow leaving the dynamic classifier part with angular momentum, besides a swirl reduction or swirl elimination, with the aid of a guiding apparatus and a displacement body, is made uniform in a classifier outlet housing and deflected into a virtually linear flow. The fixed guiding apparatus arranged coaxially with the classifier axis in the classifier outlet housing and the displacement body can be formed as one unit and the guide elements of the guiding apparatus can be arranged on the displacement body and extending into the vicinity of the inner wall of the classifier outlet housing.
