  • Publication number: 20230225646
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a baffle for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The baffle comprises a flat plate with a region comprising a plurality of annular elements designed for receiving the tubes of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger, arranged in at least two rows, wherein a row is staggered with respect to an adjacent row, wherein the outer diameter of the annular element is less than 130% of the inner diameter of the annular element, and wherein each annular element is joined with all of its adjacent annular elements by a bridging structure in the plane of the plate, oriented along a line connecting the centers of two adjacent annular elements, thereby defining a plurality of openings in the plate. The present disclosure also provides a shell- and-tube heat exchanger, a method for heating a liquid composition, a method for stripping a liquid composition comprising urea, carbamate, ammonia and water, and a method for producing a solid, particulate, urea-based composition.

  • Patent number: 7359783
    Abstract: The mobile element is a vehicle window pane, panel, movable seat or similar, conveniently guided, and driven by a DC electric motor with a permanent magnet, and the method comprises a step of detecting an entrapment or collision situation of the mobile element by means of a first fuzzy logic algorithm, which inputs are the mobile element's position and the increments that may occur in the intensity of the current demanded by said motor, which is evaluated from the relative increase of the current intensity at one turn of the motor and after one next, subsequent turn of the motor. A second fuzzy logic algorithm is used to control the mobile element's velocity, in close loop.
