  • Publication number: 20230010708
    Abstract: A method for producing a housing of an air conditioner, in which at least a part of the housing is produced as a plastic part by means of an injection molding process by injecting a plastic into a mold cavity of an injection molding tool, wherein a damping element is placed in the injection mold prior to injection of the plastic into the injection mold so that the damping element establishes a bond with the plastic during injection of the plastic into the injection mold and becomes a component of the injection-molded plastic part.

  • Patent number: 7956228
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of acetylene and synthesis gas by partial thermal oxidation in a reactor which has a burner having passages, wherein the starting materials to be reacted are rapidly and completely mixed only immediately before the flame reaction zone in the passages of the burner, a mean flow rate which exceeds the flame propagation velocities under the given reaction conditions being established in the mixing zone within the passages.

  • Patent number: 7794513
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the scale-up of a reactor (1) having a supply of a reaction mixture via channels (2) of a burner block (3) to a reaction chamber (4), a high temperature reaction having a short residence time taking place in the reaction chamber (4) and the reaction mixture subsequently being rapidly cooled in a quench area (5). For a throughput enlargement the internal diameter of the reactor (1) is enlarged, the transition of the reaction chamber (4) to the quench area (5) being designed in the form of a gap, which is restricted to a width in the range from 2 to 200 mm.

  • Publication number: 20040187383
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for carrying out a high-temperature reaction, in which starting materials are supplied to a reaction chamber (4) through channels (2) of a burner block (3), where in the reaction chamber (4) the high-temperature reaction having a short residence time takes place at a temperature of at least 1500° C. and the reaction mixture is subsequently rapidly cooled in a quench area (5). The cooling takes place first as a direct cooling to a temperature in the range from 650° C. to 1200° C. by supply of an evaporating quench medium and subsequently as an indirect cooling in a heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 6365792
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of acetylene and synthesis gas by thermal treatment of a starting mixture containing one or more hydrocarbons and in addition molecular oxygen and/or one or more compounds containing the element oxygen, in which the starting mixture is heated, brought to reaction in a reactor and subsequently cooled. The process has the special feature that the starting mixture is heated to a maximum of 1400° C. It is then possible to carry out the process with comparatively little expenditure of energy.
