  • Patent number: 10933342
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat transfer tube (9) for falling film evaporation having a heating medium surface (21) to be heated by a heating medium, a falling film surface (20) to have spent liquor passing over it, and being made from an sheet metal material. The falling film surface of the heat transfer tube is equipped with a multitude of wire bumps (WB), each wire bump being spaced apart along the longitudinal axis (CC) of the heat transfer tube from a neighbouring wire bump by 3-300 mm, said wire bumps (WB) having a height (h) in the range 0.3 to 5.0 mm, a width (w) in the range 0.3-5.0 mm, and an inclination angle (a) versus a plane orthogonal to a longitudinal axis (CC) of the heat transfer tube in a range of 0-70 degrees. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing said heat transfer tube.

  • Patent number: 10926189
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat transfer tube (9) for falling film evaporation having a heating medium surface (21) to be heated by a heating medium, a falling film surface (20) to have spent liquor passing over it, and being made from an iron based high alloy stainless steel material with an alloy content above 16.00% for Chromium and above 1% for Nickel. The falling film surface of the heat transfer tube is equipped with at least one weld ridge (WR; WR1, WR2), said weld ridge having a height (h; h2) in the range 0.3 to 5.0 mm, a width (w; w2) in the range 0.

  • Patent number: 10724418
    Abstract: A method of determining a flow resistance across a particulate filter located downstream of an internal combustion engine in an exhaust system. The method comprises measuring a first differential pressure across the particulate filter, measuring a second differential pressure downstream of the particulate filter, determining a pressure ratio of the first differential pressure and the second differential pressure, and from said pressure ratio, determining a flow resistance across the particulate filter. The second differential pressure is measured across a selective catalytic reduction system.

  • Publication number: 20170266752
    Abstract: The invention relates to a welding head for magnetic pulse welding of hollow thin-walled profile to an inner member having a complementary outer form to said hollow thin-walled profile. The weld head comprises two movable weld head halves (10a,10b) forming said weld head wherein each half has at least one individual induction coil (12a,12b) connected to a power source independently from the other weld head half, with coils wound in a kidney-shape. The work piece is clamped between shapers (15a,15b) integrated with each half. With this weld head could for example work pieces such as tubular thin-walled profiles be welded, even if they are integrated in a closed tubular design, as the weld head could be closed quickly over the welding position and opened for release of the work piece without experiencing arching in clamping area.
