Abstract: An improved spark ignition system for an internal combustion engine that includes a pair of electrodes disposed to extend from opposite sides and into a combustion chamber to form a spark gap between them that is central to the combustion chamber. Each electrode is integral with a conductive fuel delivery tube that contains a capillary passage and fuel outlet ports adjacent the electrode. The heat from combustion conducted into the electrodes and fuel delivery tubes is used to vaporize the fuel within the capillary passages before it exits the outlet ports as an atomized fog into the combustion chamber adjacent the spark gap. The vaporization of the fuel flowing in the capillary passages absorbs energy from the electrodes and thus performs a cooling effect on the electrodes. The spacing of the electrodes from opposite sides of the cylinder also allows a design that can utilize and increased spark gap to produce a larger spark across the gap.

Abstract: A sorption unit for air-conditioning technology apparatus with sheets for heat emission, past which water vapor is passed. The sheets are provided with zeolite bodies which are designed to have surface contact with the sheets. Channels for vapor passage are defined between bodies arranged one beside the other. Lateral grooves are formed on the top and bottom surfaces of the zeolite bodies for communicating water vapor from the surface of the zeolite bodies to the channels. A buffer section and a condenser/evaporator unit complete the sorption unit to form an air-conditioning system.

Abstract: A sorption unit for air-conditioning technology apparatus with sheets for heat emission, past which water vapor is passed. The sheets are provided with zeolite, that forms string-shaped profiled bodies which are designed to have surface contact with the sheets. Channels for vapor passage are defined between bodies arranged one beside the other. A buffer section and a condenser/evaporator unit complete the sorption unit to form an air-conditioning system.

Abstract: A fuel container (10) for a spirit stove, including a can-shaped lower part (11), a cover (12), a net and a spacer for maintaining a space between the cover and the net. The cover has an inner edge which defines an opening (15). The opening receives an upwardly extending portion (18) of the net (17). The net extends below the cover and is held in position in the fuel container. The spacer (20, 21) is arranged between the net and the cover. An absorbing mass (14) is disposed within the fuel container for absorbing liquid fuel. The upwardly extending portion (18) of the net (17) has an area which is less than an area of the opening (15), thereby creating a passage (23) between the inner edge of the cover and the upwardly extending portion (18) of the net through which fuel may flow into the container.

Abstract: In a refrigerating device consisting of a housing unit 1 and a cooling unit 2 the cooling unit 2 includes an evaporator 3, a condenser 4 and a reactor 5. The evaportor 3, the condenser 4 and the reactor 5 form a first closed system 27 in which ammonia is provided for as working liquid and manganese chloride 5 is provided for in the sorber part 6 of the reactor 5. The reactor 5 has an insulating shell 16 enclosing the sorber part 6, wherein a working chamber 17 filled with working liquid 18 is reserved between the insulating shell 16 and the sorber part 6. To the working chamber 17 a second closed system 19 is connected in the upper and lower region of the working chamber 17. The upper connection can be closed by means of a shut-off valve 24.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sorption refrigerating unit in which a liquid is expelled and again absorbed by intermittent heating and cooling of a substance capable of sorption, in a cylinder body. The sorber part is formed by a cylinder body 2 standing in upright position and being closed on all sides, which is penetrated by a heating body 7 protruding from the sorber part with a section serving for heating during the regeneration phase and/or for cooling, respectively, in the cooling phase. The inner space of said sorber part is connected to a evaporizer part 3 via a line 4. Said sorber part and said evaporizer part 3 form a rigid mobile structural unit which together with said evaporizer part can be hung into a refrigerating box 22.

Abstract: A sorption device for use in a cooling plant consists of a plurality of elongated sorption containers, which along part of their length are filled with sorbents, and in this part constitute a digester adsorber zone, and where the other part of their length constitutes a condensor evaporator zone. The sorption containers rotate in two coaxial housings on a circular path, and with the digester adsorber element (16) they are disposed in the one housing (11), and with the condensor evaporator element (30) in the other housing. The housing (11) enclosing the condensor adsorber elements (16) only has one inlet (13) and one outlet (14) for the gaseous heat transfer medium, so that on its flow path through the housing the heat transfer medium both withdraws heat from the digester adsorber elements (16) and supplies heat thereto. The arrangement ensures a particularly favorable energetic efficiency.
