  • Patent number: 9873077
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reducing the content of controlled acidic pollutants in clinker kiln emissions are disclosed. The methods and apparatus include introducing bypass dust produced during production of clinker into one or more locations between the preheater exhaust and the inlet to a dust filter including into a gas conditioning tower. Total bypass dust separated from the kiln exhaust gas may be used. The bypass dust can be separated into a fine and coarse portions. Fine or total bypass dust can be mixed with water to form a bypass dust slurry that can be introduced into the gas conditioning tower. Bypass dust can be used to reduce the content of acidic pollutants such as hydrogen chloride HCl and sulfur oxides SOx from clinker kiln emissions.

  • Patent number: 4680862
    Abstract: A motor-driven chain saw is electrically operated by means of a universal motor and has two brake systems operating independently of one another. A mechanical brake system serves as a safety brake and when actuated, the mechanical brake system brings the saw chain to a standstill instantaneously. The second brake system is an electric coasting brake, which when the switch is released stops the saw chain quickly but without recoil. The electrical braking is effected by reversing the polarity of one pole coil of the field winding and short-circuiting it with the rotor winding.
