Abstract: A device for cooling the supporting trunnions of a distribution spout of a charging installation of a shaft furnace, wherein the spout is mounted pivotably about a horizontal axis on a shell coaxial with the furnace and the spout is attached rotatably to the trunnions driven in rotation by a drive component. The trunnions are directly attached for rotation by their ends to output shafts of reduction gears and include internal cooling channels. The cooling device includes feed and return ducts for the cooling water circulating in the internal channels. The feed and return ducts are connected to the trunnions by connectors fixed to the cylindrical surface of the trunnions. The feed and return ducts are arranged to permit rotational displacement of the connectors about the pivot axis of the spout during pivoting of the spout, in particular by passing through oblong slots extending circumferentially in the wall of bearings supporting the driving reduction gears.

Abstract: A pencil that includes a polymer-bonded lead, a polymerbonded wood substitute material that includes an organic filler and covers or surrounds the lead along its length, and an adhesion promoter layer disposed between the lead and the wood substitute material. The lead and the wood substitute material each have a polymer. The polymer in the lead being incompatible with the polymer in the wood substitute material so that the polymer of the lead and the polymer of the wood substitute material do not create any connection with one another. The adhesion promoter layer is connected to the polymer in the lead and to the polymer in the wood substitute material so that the adhesion promoter layer forms a connection with the polymer in the lead and with the polymer of the substitute material. The organic filler is formed by particles having a maximum particle size of 250 ?m.

Abstract: A pressure control valve serves to regulate the fuel pressure in a fuel system. The pressure control valve includes a valve housing, at least one inlet, at least one outlet, and at least one prestressed, electrically actuatable, and at least regionally ball-shaped valve member. The valve member cooperates with a valve seat structurally connected to the housing. To make it possible to achieve stable closed- and/or open-loop control properties of the pressure control valve, it is proposed that the valve seat widen conically toward the valve member, and the ball diameter of the valve member is selected such that with the valve closed, the valve member touches the valve seat in the vicinity of its farther end.
