  • Publication number: 20230142454
    Abstract: A system for condition-based maintenance of an automated storage and retrieval system includes a framework structure with a rail system forming a three-dimensional storage grid structure for storing storage containers for storing items. The grid structure forms vertical storage columns each having a horizontal area defined by the size of an access opening between rails of the rail system that are arranged on the framework structure. The rail system provides available routes for container handling vehicles handling and transferring the storage containers to and from the storage columns. At least one container handling vehicle which has a container handling platform with a set of grippers for handling the storage containers. The grid structure includes one or more ports for extracting containers from the storage grid so that the storage containers can be picked and a service station for performing maintenance on the components of the storage and retrieval system.

    Abstract: A set of panels for covering floors, ceilings or walls is disclosed. Specifically, sets of panels including a plurality of panels joined with a mechanical locking at their adjacent edges. Each of the panels includes at least two pairs of parallel side edges. When the panels are installed in rows, the adjacent edges of two adjacent panels in one row are locked to one another and the adjacent panels of the adjacent rows are locked to one another. Locking provides connecting while preventing movement spacing the locked panels apart in a direction perpendicular to the coupled side edges by a translation in the plane of the bottom surface of the panels, and preventing movement spacing the locked panels apart in a direction perpendicular to the coupled side edges by a translation in a plane perpendicular to the bottom surface of the panels.

  • Patent number: 9381463
    Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous process for removal of acid gas, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) from a fluid stream, such as natural gas comprising mainly hydrocarbons, by means of a absorbent medium in a rotating absorption zone. Subsequently, the acid gas is desorbed in a rotating desorption zone from the absorbent medium to allow the absorbent medium to be recirculated and the acid gas is removed for storage or drying and processing. This process can be carried out continuously, as the absorption medium is re-used.

  • Publication number: 20120174782
    Abstract: A process for absorption and desorption of CO2 from an flue gas comprising feeding the flue gas into a mainly horizontal channel (20, 22, 249 where an absorption fluid is spray in to the channel in the flow direction of the flue gas and collected as CO2 rich absorption fluid at a lower part of the channel and transported into the centre of a rotating desorber wheel (30), where the CO2 is desorbed and the lean absorption fluid is returned to the channel is disclosed. This process can be utilized with absorption fluids with high concentration of conventional amine CO2 absorbents. Disclosed is also the use of an amine absorbent in a concentration of between 61 and 100% by weight for the absorption of CO2 from a gas stream, where the amine is an alkanol amine.

  • Publication number: 20120174784
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for capturing C02 from a gas stream (10) by introducing droplets of an absorption liquid (15, 17, 40) into the gas stream mainly in the flow direction of the gas. According to the invention, CO2 is captured from the gas stream during a capture phase by means of the absorption liquid droplets, where the absorption liquid droplets are airborne during the capture phase, absorption liquid droplets are introduced into the gas stream with a velocity high enough to ensure internal circulation inside the absorption liquid droplets, and the absorption liquid droplets are introduced into the gas stream with a Sauter mean diameter in the range of 50 10E-6 m-500 10E-6·m. An apparatus suitable for conducting said method is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6655150
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for removing and recovering CO2 from exhaust gas from a power and/or heat generating plant (a main power plant) by chemical absorption and desorption respectively, where the exhaust gas is fed to an absorber using a chemical absorbent where the CO2 is absorbed in said absorbent and a CO2-depleted exhaust gas stream is formed. The CO2 rich absorbent is further fed to a desorber where CO2 is removed from the absorbent, and the absorbent essentially free of CO2 is recirculated to the absorber and desorbed CO2 gas is discharged off. The exhaust gas is cooled and recompressed to an elevated pressure, in a compressor in a secondary power plant integrated with the main power plant, said absorber, and said desorber, before entering the absorber. The CO2-depleted exhaust gas emerging from the absorber is reheated and further expanded in an expander in said secondary power plant.

  • Publication number: 20030089232
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for treatment of an exhaust gas or a flue gas stream. The device comprises one or more entities (3) embracing frictional elements (10, 20, 110, 230, 310, 330, 400) attached to, and which are able to rotate with, a hollow axle (4) and one or more pipes (5) running axially inside the hollow axle for transporting of necessary auxiliary fluids to effect the gas treatment. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for treatment of an exhaust gas or a flue gas stream flowing through an exhaust gas duct or flue gas duct. The method comprises that the gas stream is conducted through one or more entities embracing functional elements attached to, and rotating with, a hollow, rotating axle and where necessary auxiliary fluids effecting the gas treatment enter and leave the functional element in each entity through pipes running axially inside the axle. The invention is particularly applicable for energy recovery and/or removal of CO2 from exhaust or flue gas.

  • Patent number: 5765668
    Abstract: A drop protection device for actuator devices of the type which are intended to raise and lower a load. The drop protection device includes a sleeve shaped member which, during normal operation of the actuator rotates along with a threaded spindle of the actuator. During rapid acceleration of the spindle, such as that experienced when the drive gear breaks down and the spindle rotates freely so as to cause the load to uncontrollably drop, the sleeve shaped member will, as a result of its mass inertia, be brought into contact with a stop device for preventing further rotation of the spindle. Thus, the drop protection device prevents the load from being damaged or causing damage to peripheral equipment or individuals.
