Abstract: In order to create a refrigeration system comprising a refrigerant circuit (10), in which a main mass flow (56) of a refrigerant is guided, which may be adapted to different operating conditions in an optimum manner it is suggested that at least two refrigerant compressors (12a, 12b, 12c), which can be switched on individually for the purpose of compressing the main mass flow, be arranged in the refrigerant circuit, that at least two of the refrigerant compressors each have at least one additional compressor stage (70), that each of the additional compressor stages be able to be used optionally for the compression of refrigerant from the main mass flow or for the compression of refrigerant from the additional mass flow (86) and that a control (90) be provided, with which such a number of additional compressor stages for the compression of refrigerant from the additional mass flow can be switched on in a first operating mode as a function of the operation conditions that the expansion cooling device (24, 28) l

Abstract: Disclosed is a solid formulation of the herbicidal active agent glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] compressed into tablet form. It is applied in the agricultural and horticultural sectors to destroy unwanted vegetation. The solid formulation according to the invention consists essentially of free glyphosate acid, salifying agents (alkali or ammonium hydrogencarbonate or carbonate in conjunction with solid organic acids), biological activating agents and diluents. A suitably sized tablet can consequently be adapted to supply an appropriate dose of spray mixture per surface unit for small-scale users. Submerging in water causes the glyphosate to convert into a soluble salt. The resulting carbon dioxide facilitates rapid disintegration of the tablet.
