Abstract: A smooth film web is used as a smoothing surface in the nip between a cooling roll and a pressure roll. The pressure roll need not be coolable, and it preferably has an elastic surface layer. Since the elastic surface layer does not come into immediate contact with the extruded web, it need not be highly polished. Consequently, a high running time is achieved.

Abstract: Heat exchanger or heat accumulator bodies which are simple to produce. The bodies consist of a stack of extruded hollow chamber panels with plane smooth outer walls and webs that join the outer walls in a single piece. The hollow chamber panels are joined to one another in the stack on the front side by locking connections. The locking connections can be produced with an inserted electrical band heater, by glue seams, or by undercut interlockings. The hollow chamber panels are not joined to one another in the in-between areas or are not everywhere joined in the in-between areas.

Abstract: The novel multilayer web plate comprises two generally planar outer walls and webs joining said walls to form a unit construction. According to the invention, the outer walls each comprise a combination of a core layer representing more than half the thickness of the outer wall and comprised of an extrudable, stiff plastic material with optical index of refraction n.gtoreq.1.48, and inner and outer surface layers adhesively bonded to both faces of the core layer and comprised of a hard plastic material with an optical index of refraction n.ltoreq.1.46. With this configuration, reflection losses of the transmitted light are avoided, and the light-permeability is substantially improved.
