  • Publication number: 20020014328
    Abstract: This invention relates to a pipe (1) having several internal ribs (2, 3, 4) having a spiral twist, where the ribs run with rotational symmetry with the longitudinal axis (5) of symmetry of the pipe (1). This invention creates a heat transfer pipe that will be characterized by a much better heat transfer in comparison with the previously known pipes having internal ribs, and to this end it guarantees not only an increase in the internal heat transfer surface area but also an effective cross-flow between the inside wall surface of the pipe and the core flow near the longitudinal axis of symmetry. To that end, the free ends (2c, 3c, 4c) of the internal ribs (2, 3, 4) are a distance (a) from the longitudinal axis (5) of symmetry of the pipe (1), which is in the range of 1:12 to 1:3 in relation to the inside diameter (d) of the pipe; and all the internal ribs (2, 3, 4) run in the same direction (arrow 6) and with the same spiral length (L) with a spiral twist to the longitudinal axis (5) of symmetry.

  • Patent number: 5981798
    Abstract: A crystalline solid which has a sufficiently low hygroscopicity for processing and use and essentially consists of glycine-N,N-diacetic acid derivatives is prepared by adjusting the water content of the starting material containing the glycine-N,N-diacetic acid derivatives to a value of from 10 to 30% by weight, based on the starting material, and subsequently bringing about crystallization.

  • Patent number: 5939584
    Abstract: Process for preparing solid, free-flowing water-soluble salts of aryloxy-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkanecarboxylic acids by reacting the aryloxy-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkanecarboxylic acids with a salt-forming base, the salt formation taking place in the melt in the presence or absence of an entraining agent suitable for the azeotropic removal of water or in solution in the presence of an entraining agent suitable for the azeotropic removal of water and, if appropriate, removing the entraining agent from the reaction mixture during the reaction or subsequently and then isolating the solid salts in a customary manner.
