  • Publication number: 20060235129
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a coating dispersion for coating printing substrates, especially paper and paperboard. Said dispersion is constituted of at least one defined percentage of water, a defined percentage of a swellable phyllosilicate and a defined percentage of a cross-linking agent. The cross-linking agent forms a bond with at least one functional group of the phyllosilicate as well as with at least one functional group of the printing substrate. The invention also relates to a method for producing a coated printing substrate onto which a coating dispersion is mechanically applied and dried, whereby the coating dispersion comprises at least the aforementioned components.

  • Patent number: 4676063
    Abstract: Medium-load power generating station with an integrated coal gasification plant, a gas turbine power generating station part connected to the coal gasification plant, a steam power generating station part connected to the raw gas heat exchanger plant of the coal gasification plant, a methanol synthesis plant having a plurality of modules connected in parallel to each other, and a purified gas distribution system which connects the methanol synthesis plant to the gas turbine power generating station part and which includes a purified gas continuous flow interim storage plant and is connected on the gas side to the raw gas heat exchanger plant. The methanol synthesis plant is associated, for hydrogen enrichment, to a "cooler-saturator loop" which is connected to the raw gas heat exchanger plant and consists of the saturator, a converting plant, cooler and following gas purification plant.

  • Patent number: 4651519
    Abstract: Combined gas turbine/steam turbine plant, in which the exhaust gas line of the gas turbine block containing an air compressor, combustion chamber, gas turbine and generator is connected on the primary side to a steam generator which, in turn, comprises parts of the steam turbine block which also contains a high pressure and a low pressure turbine, a condenser, a feedwater tank and a feedwater pump. The combustion chamber of the gas turbine block is connected to the output of a coal gasification plant, the air separation unit which has an outlet for the separated nitrogen and the gasifier. The gasifier is followed by a steam generator for utilizing the raw gas heat and a heat exchanger for heating the purified gas by the raw gas. The steam generator arranged ahead of the raw gas/purified gas heat exchanger is designed as a high pressure steam generator, the secondary output of which is connected to the output of the steam generator of the steam turbine block.

  • Patent number: 4255082
    Abstract: Aspirating system for the compressor of a gas turbine disposed next to a power-producing plant on the same shaft. The system has two separated suction canals extending laterally next to the powder producing plant. A transition part conveys the air from the suction canals to an axial intake opening in the compressor. The transition part has an inner shell of a truncated cone and outer shell of the truncated cone and two vertical baffles inclined toward each other, disposed between the inner shell and outer cone shell with the baffles touching each other in front of the intake opening of the compressor and terminating there. A transfer canal part adapts the cross section of each such canal facing the transition part to the entrance cross section of the transition part.
