  • Publication number: 20120199310
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchange system (1) including a heat exchanger (2) with a flow passage (210) arranged in a flow segment (21). For the exchange of heat between a transport fluid (3) and a heat transfer medium (4) flowing through the flow passage (210) in the operating state, the transport fluid (3) can be brought into flowing contact with the heat exchanger (2) via an inlet area (201) and can be led away again from the heat exchanger (2) via an outlet area (202). In accordance with the invention, for the determination of a degree of contamination (V) of the heat exchanger (2), a contamination sensor (5) in the form of a pressure sensor (5) and/or of a speed sensor (5) is provided with which a transport parameter (TK) can be determined which is characteristic for the flow of the transport fluid (3) from the inlet area (201) via the outlet area (202). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the operation of a heat exchange system (1).

  • Publication number: 20100282439
    Abstract: The invention relates to a modular heat exchange system (1) having a heat exchange module (2, 21, 22) which includes a first heat exchange module (21) with a heat exchanger (3). In this respect, an outer boundary of the heat exchange module (2) is formed by an inflow surface (4) and an outflow surface (5) such that, for the exchange of heat between a transport fluid (6) and a heat agent (7) flowing through the heat exchanger (3) in the operating state, the transport fluid (6) can be supplied to the heat exchange module (2) via the inflow surface (4), can be brought into flow contact with the heat exchanger (3) and can be led away again the heat exchange module (2) via the outflow surface (5). In accordance with the invention, a first boundary surface (81) of the first heat exchange module (2, 21) is inclined at a presettable angle of inclination (?) with respect to a second boundary surface (82) of the first heat exchange module (2, 21).

  • Publication number: 20100258275
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchange system with a heat exchanger (1, 101, 102) including an inflow area (2) and an outflow area (3), wherein for the exchange of heat between a transport fluid (4) and a heat transfer agent (5) flowing through the heat exchanger (1, 101, 102) in the operational state, the transport fluid (4) can be conducted via an arriving flow area (200) of the heat exchange system and via the inflow area (2) to the heat exchanger (1, 101, 102), can be brought into flow contact with the heat exchanger (1, 101, 102) and can be led away again from the heat exchanger (1, 101, 102) via the outflow area (3). In accordance with the invention the heat exchange system (100) includes an automatic cleaning system (7) for the removal of contaminants (6).

  • Publication number: 20100254081
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchange system (1) having a heat exchanger (2) for the exchange of heat between a fluid (3) and an environmental atmosphere. The heat exchanger (2) in this respect includes an inlet passage (4), an outlet passage (5) and a heat transfer device (6) having a plurality of micro-passages (61), with the inlet passage (4) being in flow communication with an inlet segment (62) of the heat transfer device (6) and the outlet passage (5) being in flow communication with an outlet segment (63) of the heat transfer device (6) such that the fluid (3) for the exchange of heat with the environmental atmosphere can be supplied from the inlet passage (4) via the inlet segment (62), through the plurality of micro-passages (61) of the heat transfer device (6), and via the outlet segment (63) to the outlet passage (5). In accordance with the invention, the heat exchange system (1) includes a compensation means (7) for the compensation of thermomechanical strains.

  • Publication number: 20080054522
    Abstract: An injection moulding device for producing an injection moulding has a first (16a, 16b) and a second (14) mould plate which can be moved relative to each other in the closing direction. Furthermore, the injection moulding device comprises a mechanism (17a, 17b) for repositioning at least one (16a, 16b) of the mould plates in such a way that at least two different de-moulding directions (R1, R2) in relation to the injection moulding can be implemented.

  • Publication number: 20070264378
    Abstract: An injection molding machine is proposed, especially for injection stamping of large-area plastic moldings, comprising at least a first injection mold (13) which has two mold halves (15, 16) and which forms a first cavity (17) with a first projected area, and a second injection mold (14) which has two mold halves (18, 19) and which forms a second cavity (20) with a second projected area, one mold half (15, 18) of the two injection molds (13, 14) respectively being fixed on a common carrier unit (21) and for the two injection molds (13, 14) there being support means (22A to 25A; 22B to 25B) acting in the opening direction. In order to limit the force acting on the respective cavity, the support means (22A to 25A; 22B to 25B) depending on the respective projected area of the respective cavity (17, 20) partially take up the clamping force so that a holding pressure force acting on the material which has been injected into the respective cavity (17, 20) is set.

  • Publication number: 20060062967
    Abstract: In a process for molding a plastic component onto a prefabricated plastic part, a first mold plate (1) and a second mold plate (105) are closed, a cavity in which the prefabricated plastic part (101) is located being formed between the closed mold plates (1, 105). One of the mold plates (105) is formed with a depressed zone (108) and a polymer feed (115) opening out into the depressed zone (108) for molding the plastic component onto a region of the prefabricated plastic part (101) that lies opposite the depressed zone (108). Subsequently, polymer melt is injected into the depressed zone (108) and, during the injection of polymer into the depressed zone (108), the mold plates (1, 105) are moved apart.
