  • Publication number: 20240151432
    Abstract: A hot water heating device includes a heating chamber with a water inlet for feeding water into the heating chamber and with a water outlet for removing hot water from the heating chamber. The water outlet includes an outlet duct with a suction opening arranged within the heating chamber at a distance to a bottom of the heating chamber and facing a top side opposite of the bottom of the heating chamber. The hot water heating device further includes a heating element arranged within the heating chamber for heating the water within the heating chamber. The water outlet further includes a steam bubble retention device that forms a water intake duct that runs into the suction opening of the water outlet and that prevents steam bubbles to flow through the suction opening of the outlet duct.

  • Patent number: 10598542
    Abstract: A method for operating a machine plant having a shaft train, including: a) determining the harmonic frequency of a torsional vibration mode of the shaft train and determining mechanical stresses arising during a vibration period of the torsional vibration mode; b) determining a correlation for each torsional vibration mode between a first stress amplitude, at a position of the shaft train that carries risk of stress damage, and a second stress amplitude, at a measurement location of the shaft train, using stresses determined for the respective torsional vibration mode; c) establishing a maximum first stress amplitude for the position; d) establishing a maximum second stress amplitude, corresponding to the maximum first stress amplitude, for the measurement location; e) measuring the stress of the shaft train while rotating; f) determining a stress amplitude at each harmonic frequency; g) emitting a signal when the stress amplitude reaches the maximum second stress amplitude.
