Patent number: 5166072Abstract: An apparatus for cultivating immobilized micro-organisms consisting of a fluidized bed reactor with fittings for gassing and a retainer system for the immobilized biocatalysts. The fluidized bed reactor is characterized in that the fittings for gassing consist of several segments with gas outlets arranged on the base of the fluidized bed reactor, which admit gas alternately or cyclically. A central gas outflow opening, pointing upwards, can be provided in the fluidized bed reactor as a further gassing unit. The method of operating the fluidized bed is characterized in that circulating gassing occurs in the reactor by means of sequential opening of the gas inflow openings of the segment-shaped fittings. In addition, switches may occur from the central gassing unit to gassing by means of the segment-shaped fittings or vice-versa.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1989Date of Patent: November 24, 1992Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jorg Krauling, Hans-Jurgen Henzler, Imre Pascik, Claus Muller, Jorg Baumgarten, Alois Molitor

Patent number: 4832586Abstract: In the embodiment of the invention described in the specification, a drive assembly for an eccentrically driven mass has a drive shaft which drives the mass by a first eccentric device and a secondary shaft, driven synchronously with the drive shaft, which drives a second eccentric device spaced from the first eccentric device so as to guide the mass in a constrained manner. The connection between the second eccentric device and the mass includes a resilient mounting. In order to avoid, or at least reduce, sinusoidally varying stresses imposed on the resilient mounting during operation as a result of deflection of the drive shaft, the eccentricity of the second eccentric device is larger than the eccentricity of the first eccentric device by at least a portion of the magnitude of the maximum deflection of the drive shaft in the region of the mass occurring during operation.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 1988Date of Patent: May 23, 1989Assignee: Volkswagen AGInventors: Klaus-Dieter Emmenthal, Claus Muller, Otto Schaafer

Patent number: 4818199Abstract: A displacement machine for compressible media, with at least one displacement chamber arranged in a stationary housing and rendered in the manner of a groove extending with a spiral shape, and with a band-shaped or tongue-shaped displacement body associated with each displacement chamber and likewise rendered in spiral shape is described. The displacement body is held on a discoid rotor, which can be driven eccentrically relative to the housing, in such a manner that during operation, each of its outside wall points performs a circular movement bounded by the peripheral walls of the displacement chamber. The curvature of the displacement body relative to the curvature of the displacement chamber is dimensioned such that the displacement body nearly comes in contact with the radially inner and outer peripheral walls of the displacement chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1987Date of Patent: April 4, 1989Assignee: Volkswagen AGInventors: Klaus-Dieter Emmenthal, Claus Muller, Otto Schafer
