  • Converter torque support
    Patent number: 11814692
    Abstract: A method for operating a converter and a support device for the converter. The converter is rotatably or tiltably mounted and rotatably coupled in a transmission via support pins in the support device. The transmission is supported permanently on a base via a torque support. In order to reduce costs for a corresponding support device and, simultaneously, so as to be able to better control the torque exerted by the converter on the transmission, the time-variable actual torque MIst exerted by the converter on the transmission is controlled to a predefined target torque Msoil.

  • Method and apparatus for the energy-efficient operation of secondary dust removal systems
    Patent number: 10712753
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control method for a secondary dust removal system in which a pipe network connects an induced draft fan to at least two suction points. The pipe network comprises a controllable exhaust air flap for each suction point, the position of said flap influencing the volumetric flow rate at the suction point. A mathematical model of the pipe network allows the method to energy-efficiently control the exhaust air flaps and the induced draft fan.
