Abstract: Fresh concrete which contains in 1 m3 50 to 300 kg of water, 135 to 400 kg of cement or 135 to 600 kg of a mixture of cement and at least one substituent thereof, 10 to 150 kg of finely ground brick, ceramic, mixed or concrete recyclate having a particle size of 5 to 250 microns and a specific surface of 300 to 1500 m2/kg or 10 to 150 kg of a mixture of finely ground brick, ceramic, mixed or concrete recyclate having a particle size of 5 to 250 microns and a specific surface of 300 to 1500 m2/kg and microsilica and/or at least one substituent thereof, with a content of finely ground recyclate in this combination of at least 10% by weight, and 1000 to 2300 kg of aggregate.

Abstract: A fan damper includes a frame and a plurality of hollow airfoil blades, each having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a seal on the trailing edge, and a pivot mechanism on either end of each blade, including an extension having a weight. A secondary seal is positioned between the pivot mechanisms and the sides of the frame. A ladder bar connects the pivot mechanisms. During significant air pressure changes, the blades move against the weights from a first, closed, overlapping position, whereupon the seal on the trailing edge of a relatively upper blade seals against the leading edge of an adjacent relatively lower blade, and the secondary side frame seal seals against the pivot mechanisms, to a second, open position. When the air pressure decreases sufficiently, the blades return to the closed, overlapping position.

Abstract: A tubeaxial fan housing has a planar support vane that is fixed at sides thereof to opposing interior sides of the tubular housing, toward an inlet of the housing. The support vane receives a shaft on an underside thereof, upon which a propeller is mounted near an outlet end of the housing. The support vane has a curved edge facing the propeller to change a pattern of eddies generated downstream of the support plate and thereby reduce the noise generated by the fan. The curve is an S-shape and may be a sine wave whose period is ? the propeller diameter. The propeller is positioned a relatively large distance from the curved edge of the support vane to reduce further the generation of eddies. That is, the closest point of the curved edge to the propeller is one chord length, which chord is at a tip of a propeller blade. A rounded inlet bell on the housing includes a rounded surface to reduce further turbulence across the propeller and support vane to further reduce sound.

Abstract: A fan damper includes a frame and a plurality of hollow airfoil blades, each having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a seal formed on the trailing edge, and a pivot mechanism on either end of each blade, each of which pivot mechanisms includes an extension that includes a weight. A secondary seal is positioned between the pivot mechanisms and the sides of the frame. A ladder bar connects the pivot mechanisms. During significant air pressure changes, such as when a fan is turned on, the airfoil blades are caused to move, against the weights from a first, closed, overlapping position relative to the frame, whereupon the seal on the trailing edge of a relatively upper blade seals against the leading edge of an adjacent relatively lower blade, and the secondary side frame seal seals against the pivot mechanisms, to a second, open position. The airfoil blades will stay in the open position as long as the air pressure is enough to overcome the effect of the weights.

Abstract: The equipment solves the problems of appropriate and simple construction and suitable especially for continuous separation of solid sublimable compounds from the gaseous mixture. The equipment consists of a desublimer 1 and separator 4 in which is situated a conical vessel 5 and the well 7. The principle of the invention is that between the outlet neck 6 of the conical vessel 5 and the well 7 is situated a filter 9 of a conical shape with the angles of wall inclination between 10.degree. and 45.degree., whose upper end is connected with the outlet neck 6.

Abstract: The invention solves a method and an apparatus for the separation of solids from gaseous mixtures especially the separation of phthalic anhydride after its desublimation from mixtures with vapours of sublimable substances, steam, air or inert gases, which originate at sublimation refining or at catalytic production of phthalic anhydride by air oxidation of naphthalene or o-xylene.The flakes of phthalic anhydride, which originated after the decrease of temperature in the desublimator space were agglomerated and compacted due to the increase of velocity of gaseous mixture in contracted cross-section of the separator. The formed agglomerates are separated from the gaseous mixture and collected in a receiver well. From the well the agglomerates are transported by a conveyor or they are continuously melted. The melt formed outlets through a siphon. The rest 1 to 5% of phthalic anhydride is separated from gaseous mixture in a filter from wire net and by gradual melting is introduced into the receiver well.

Abstract: A continuous, desublimination apparatus capable of operating at high flow rates. The apparatus works on the principle of reducing temperature of a vapor-gas mixture below the desublimination point. It has a heated jacket with inlets and outlets of gases in which a gas permeable wall is coaxially spaced. Said wall encloses a desublimination space with nozzles for atomizing an evaporable liquid and with a distributor of a vapor-gas mixture at the inlet. The space between said gas permeable wall and the inner jacket wall is divided into at least three vertically aligned sections, the volumes of which increase in the direction away from said inlet of the vapor-gas mixture. In operation, a vapor-gas mixture is cooled below the desublimination point by an atomized liquid. Simultaneous blowing of a secondary gas through said gas permeable wall protects the wall of said desublimination space from solid deposits.

Abstract: The invention relates to the method and equipment for treatment of fuel for fluidized bed combustion, which includes drying, classification and crushing of the fuel. The method for treatment of fuel comprises mixing the fuel with hot ash removed from the fluidized bed combustor and drying said mixture in a fluidized bed dryer in which the velocity of the fluidization fluid equals or is lower than the minimum fluidization velocity of particles in the fluidized bed combustor. The equipment for treatment of fuel comprises a bunker, crusher and dryer, comprising a fluidized bed dryer provided with appropriate piping for interconnection of the fluidized bed dryer, fluidized bed combuster, fuel bunker and crusher.
