  • Patent number: 10881980
    Abstract: A scrubber tray for a wet scrubber tower of a flue gas purification device includes a multiplicity of spindles, arranged across an inner horizontal cross section of the wet scrubber tower. Adjacent spindles are arranged at a horizontal distance to each other. At least some of the spindles are pivot-mounted to allow a rotative movement around a corresponding spindle axis and to arrange the respective spindle at a predetermined rotation angle. At least some of the spindles are equipped each with at least one protrusion, which extends outwardly from the respective spindle. The spindles and protrusions are shaped and arranged to provide flow-through openings between adjacent spindles and protrusions respectively. Each flow-through opening defines a corresponding flow-through area, and they add up to 10%-80% of the inner horizontal cross section of the associated scrubber tower, independently of the respective rotation angles of the spindles.

  • Publication number: 20100086744
    Abstract: Foils based on softener-containing polyvinyl acetals are produced by injection moulding or injection stamping, and may preferably adopt a wedge-shaped cross-section not possible with extruded foils of polyvinyl acetal. The foils may be moulded to near net shape despite their very high area/thickness ratio, thus avoiding waste.
