Publication number: 20220381521Abstract: A porous heat exchanger including a single piece core extending axially is provided. The core defines a first air inlet and a first air outlet for a first fluid, a second air inlet and a second air outlet for a second fluid. The first/second fluid flows into the core from the first/second air inlet through a first/second fluid channel and flows out of the core through the first/second air outlet. The core includes solid material sheets and porous material sheets disposed alternately with the solid material sheets so each porous material sheet has an adjacent solid material sheet on each side defining one of the first fluid channel for a flow of the first fluid or the second fluid channel for a flow of the second fluid. Heat transfer occurs between the first fluid in the first fluid channel and the second fluid in the second fluid channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2021Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Michael A.

Publication number: 20220347923Abstract: In order to separate excess material from an additively manufactured component, spatially resolved structural data on the component are received. On the basis of the structural data, a process for emptying material from the component is simulated, wherein a sequence of emptying poses of the component is determined. For an associated emptying pose: the component is moved into the associated emptying pose in accordance with the simulated emptying process, movement of material is detected by sensors, as a result of a detection of a decrease in the movement of material, a trigger signal is generated, and a movement of the component into a subsequent emptying pose is initiated by the trigger signal, the trigger signal being considered higher priority than the simulated emptying process.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2020Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Dirk Hartmann, Christoph Kiener, Meinhard Paffrath

A process for emptying material from the component simulated for each different initial fill level with material, wherein movement data, which specify a simulated movement of the component, and a simulated fill level progression resulting from the simulated movement are assigned to the associated initial fill level. In addition, a corresponding initial fill level is selected in accordance with the measured fill level, and the movement device is controlled by movement data which are assigned to the selected initial fill level. The fill level is measured and compared to a simulated fill level progression assigned to the selected initial fill level. The steps of selecting a corresponding initial fill level (SAFG) and controlling the movement device (BV) are carried out.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2020Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Meinhard Paffrath, Dirk Hartmann, Christoph Kiener
