  • Patent number: 11067188
    Abstract: An electromagnetic pressure control valve including an electromagnetic actuator configured to position a piston that is received axially movable in a receiving opening of a valve housing of the electromagnetic pressure control valve, wherein the piston facilitates opening and closing flow connections of the electromagnetic pressure control valve, wherein the piston receives a pin at a piston face that is oriented away from the electromagnetic actuator, wherein a relative movement is enabled between the pin and the piston, wherein the pin includes a pin face that is arranged in the valve housing and oriented away from the piston and arranged opposite to a stop, and wherein the pin is fixed at the stop so that a movement of the pin in a direction towards the stop is eliminated.

  • Patent number: 10234850
    Abstract: A controller for controlling an electric or a fluidic valve drive. The controller includes a communications interface which is configured to output a current signal and convert drive-related measurement information into a current signal level within a current interval according to a communications protocol. The communications interface is further configured to convert at least two different items of device status information into different current signals levels outside of the current interval.

  • Publication number: 20180172475
    Abstract: A drive device for making available a driving movement of a drive input element, which drive device includes a magnet arrangement, at least two magnetic field sensor elements which are spaced apart from one another and are designed to make available magnetic field measured values, and a detection apparatus which is designed to detect a position of the drive input element on the basis of one or more of the magnetic field measured values. The detection apparatus is designed to check the validity of the detection of position and to make available a validity signal as a function of the result of the check in accordance with at least two magnetic field measured values from at least two magnetic field sensor elements and/or in accordance with at least two position values based on the at least two magnetic field measured values and taking into account checking information which represents a reference relationship between magnetic field measured values and/or position values.

  • Patent number: 9334209
    Abstract: Energy savings in an integrated DCE/VCM plant, optionally also containing a PVC plant, is accomplished by using at least part of the vapor from a DEC quenching column to supply heat to an HCl column. The DCE plant has a high boiler column operating at superatmospheric pressure, and heat is removed from an overhead stream and used to supply heat to other portions of the process.
