Abstract: A photochemical reactor and a photo-oxidation process for manufacturing organic compounds are disclosed. The photo-oxidation generates polyfluorochloro- and/or perfluorocarboxylic acid chloride compounds, in particular halogenated acetyl chlorides, such as polyfluorochloro- and/or perfluoro acetyl chloride. The photo-oxidation process is exothermic. The reactor has a channel or a channels system, including tubes, pipes, or coils, such as coiled tubes or pipes, and, optionally, gasket installations in combination with tubes/pipes, and interior installations, such as microtubes or micropipes. The interior installations avoid formation of hot spots and provide for very good mixing of the reaction medium, such that the photochemical reactions do not only take place in part of reaction medium within a few mm around the UV lighting source.

Abstract: In order to provide a diaphragm rupture signalling device for a diaphragm pump, which ensures a more functionally reliable rupture signalling compared to the prior art, a diaphragm to be arranged between the drive unit and the delivery unit is disclosed, with at least a first and a second essentially circular diaphragm layer, wherein the diaphragm has a clamping area and an operating area and a sensor area arranged in the section of the clamping area in which at least one of the diaphragm layers is designed such that, when the pressure between this diaphragm layer and the adjacent diaphragm layer increases, it moves further away from the adjacent diaphragm layer in the section of the sensor area than in the other sections of the diaphragm, with an increase in the distance between the diaphragm layers, thereby triggering a diaphragm rupture signalling signal in the diaphragm pump.

Abstract: A seal can be moved from a production position for a production tool into an installation position for a battery housing. The seal has a seal body to be arranged between a housing flange of a lower housing part and a housing cover of the battery housing, and has positioning elements and fixing elements for positioning and fixing the seal body on the housing flange. The seal body is designed as a one-piece, frame-like sealing ring made of a resilient plastic and has a seal body portion, which is reversibly variable in length, with fold regions. The seal body portion in the folded state of the fold regions provides the production position and in the unfolded state of the fold regions provides the installation position. Positioning regions and fixing regions in which the positioning elements and fixing elements are arranged have a greater width than the fold regions.

Abstract: A method for pressurizing exhaust gases from a turbine power plant includes the steps of: applying a pressure to at least a proportion, in particular a proportion rich in carbon dioxide, of the exhaust gases from the power plant by way of a fluid operating machine of a pressurization device, and applying a torque to the fluid operating machine and/or driving the fluid operating machine by way of such a torque, which is present at an output shaft of a main turbine of the power plant.

Abstract: An assembly for securing a vehicle battery on a body of a motor vehicle, includes a securing device releasably secured on a body part of the vehicle body and an adhesive material.
