  • Gas bearing and method for producing same
    Patent number: 12031573
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gas bearing for contactlessly bearing a rotatable element (50). The gas bearing comprises: a housing (100) having an opening for receiving the rotatable element; and at least two sliding films (200), which are arranged on an interior (110) of the opening without overlap and which each have a first end portion (210) and a second end portion (220) for support on the housing (100). The sliding films (200) are designed to radially support the rotatable element relative to the housing (100) only by means of the first and second end portions (210, 220), the second end portion (220) providing frictional contact with the interior (110) and the first end portion (210) being fastened to the housing.

  • HEAT EXCHANGER FOR VEHICLES AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20090120626
    Abstract: A heat exchanger element has a row of multiple channel flat pipes (3) that are mutually spaced apart and have ends connected in a fluid-tight manner to a tubular connector container (6) and to a tubular distributor (1). The ends of the multiple channel flat pipes (3) are separated into multiple zones (3?, 3?) shaped in such a way that each zone (3?, 3?) is parallel at its end on the side of the connection to the main plane of the multiple channel flat pipes (3), and the zones (3?, 3?) overlap at least partially in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the collector container (6) and distributor (1).
