Abstract: In a process for operating an ammonia plant, a gas mixture comprising nitrogen, hydrogen and ammonia is conveyed cyclically in a synthesis circuit with a conveying device which comprises at least a first compressor, nitrogen and hydrogen are converted at least partly into ammonia in a converter, the gas mixture is cooled in a cooling device in such a way that ammonia condenses out of the gas mixture, and hydrogen is provided at least partly by electrolysis. In this process, the utilization of fluctuating renewable energies can be integrated into existing plant designs, for the provision of hydrogen; for this reason, a master controller is provided and the master controller keeps at least the pressure in the synthesis circuit approximately constant via at least one control loop, on the basis of the anticipated amount of hydrogen. For this, the apparatus comprises a first bypass line for circumventing the first compressor, and a second bypass line for circumventing the cooling device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing board warpage during the application and curing or drying of liquid epoxies, or the like, on printed circuit boards using a clamping fixture assembly, which includes at least one clamping fixture support and at least one clamping fixture overlay. If desired, a plurality of printed circuit boards may be processed using an appropriate clamping fixture assembly. Furthermore, the clamping fixture may be constructed so a slight bow or curvature thereof can counter either a convex or concave bow or curvature of the printed circuit board. In the method, at least one printed circuit board is mounted to a clamping fixture support whereby a clamping fixture overlay is placed on top of the first printed circuit board.
