Abstract: A pipe connection for conducting a fluid that is under pressure is provided, having two tubular connection parts for a conical clamping connection, which are screwed together by a union nut while one is inserted in the other, wherein each connection part has a conical sealing surface that contacts the other in a sealing manner and wherein an annular groove is provided in one of the sealing surfaces. In order to enable the pipe connection also to conduct a fluid having cycling or varying temperature, the inner of the two connection parts has thermal insulation on the inside of the pipe at least in the axial segment of the sealing surface of the connection part, wherein the thermal insulation tube has a cam or a collar on the outer surface, which engages in a recess, which is axially bounded by the two connection parts.

Abstract: A heat shield with support structure and a number of heat shield blocks secured thereto, having a cold side facing the support structure and a hot side opposite the cold side. At least one recess is arranged in at least one heat shield block circumferential face, connecting the cold to hot side. An opening connecting the recess to the cold side runs in the circumferential face perpendicularly to the cold side. A securing bolt inserted into the opening secures the heat shield block to the support structure. A bolt head protrudes at least partly into the recess. The securing bolt passes through an angled plate having first limb extending substantially parallel to the circumferential face and second limb extending into the recess. The angled plate has a reinforcing device extending beyond the pure angular shape to increase a resistance of the angled plate against bending due to the securing bolt.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the operation of a gas turbine is provided, in which component vibrations are detected during the operation of the gas turbine by an acceleration sensor arranged on the component, a plurality of signal sections being determined by a plurality of frequency bands fb from the signal forwarded and processed by the acceleration sensor. To avoid an unnecessary shutdown of the gas turbine to perform an inspection which subsequently proves unnecessary, thereby increasing the availability of the gas turbine, a total vibration period is determined by adding together the vibration periods of signal sections during which the amplitudes of the signal sections concerned are greater than a frequency band-specific threshold.

Abstract: A method for operating a gas turbine below its rated power, in which CO emissions in the exhaust gas of the gas turbine increase with a reduction of the output gas turbine power, wherein, if a predefined threshold value, which can be selected as desired, for the CO emissions is reached or if a predefined threshold value, specified in relative or absolute terms, for the output gas turbine power is undershot, the combustion temperature in the combustion chamber of the gas turbine is increased. To operate the gas turbine with low emissions, for a constant power output, the exhaust-gas temperature increase generated at the outlet of the gas turbine as a result of the combustion temperature increase is at least partially compensated through the addition of a liquid or vaporous medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of L-ascorbic acid, in which free 2-keto-L-gulonic acid or C3-C10-alkyl 2-keto-L-gulonate is lactonized under acidic conditions in the presence of a water-miscible solvent and where this solvent in situ forms a solvent in which the ascorbic acid formed is poorly soluble.

Abstract: A process for producing a grain-oriented magnetic steel sheet in which a slab, made from a steel containing (in mass %) more than 0.005 to 0.10% C, 2.5 to 4.5% Si, 0.03 to 0.15% Mn, more than 0.01 to 0.05% S, 0.01 to 0.035% Al, 0.0045 to 0.012% N, 0.02 to 0.3% Cu, the remainder being Fe, including unavoidable impurities, is heated through and hot rolled to a final thickness between 1.5 and 7.0 mm. The hot strip is annealed and immediately cooled and cold rolled in one or several cold-rolling steps to the final thickness of the cold strip. The cold strip is subjected to a recrystallizing annealing process in a humid atmosphere containing hydrogen and nitrogen, with synchronous decarburization. A non-stick layer, essentially containing MgO, is applied to the surface of the decarburized cold strip which is then subjected to final annealing. The cold strip is then rolled into coils.
