  • Patent number: 11411518
    Abstract: Provided is a method for controlling the cold gas temperature of a cooling gas of a closed generator cooling gas circuit of a generator having at least one cooler through which a cooling fluid flows. The method includes: a) defining cold gas temperature setpoint values in dependence on the stator and rotor current of the generator; b) detecting the current cold gas temperature; c) detecting the current stator and rotor current; d) determining the cold gas temperature setpoint value associated with the stator and rotor current detected in step c); e) regulating the cold gas temperature by changing the volumetric flow of the cooling fluid supplied to the at least one cooler as a function of the difference between the current cold gas temperature detected in step b) and the cold gas temperature setpoint value determined in step d); and f) repeating steps b) to e) at defined time intervals.

  • Patent number: 11214218
    Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag module (16) of a vehicle safety system as well as to a method of mounting an actuator assembly (10) for activating a tensile means (12) on a module casing (14) of the airbag module (16), comprising the following steps: a) the tensile means (12) is connected to the actuator assembly (10) and is fixed to a mounting element (18) together with the actuator assembly (10) so that the tensile means (12), the actuator assembly (10) and the mounting element (18) constitute a pre-mounted unit (20); the pre-mounted unit (20) is arranged inside the module casing (14) and is fastened to the module casing (14) by means of the mounting element (18).

  • Patent number: 4741822
    Abstract: Procedure for hydrogenation of coal by means of liquid phase and fixed-bed catalyst hydrogenation whereby the head products of the high-temperature separator are led directly, and together with the entire high-pressure circuit gas, over a reactor with a rigidly installed catalyst; are separated from the exhaust products of this reactor by partial condensation of the cycle oil required for producing the coal paste and withdrawn from an intermediate separator; and are led again, together with the entire high-pressure circuit gas, over an additional reactor with a fixed-bed catalyst.
