Publication number: 20230181776Abstract: A device for steam disinfecting products includes a treatment chamber. An evaporation pan is arranged in the chamber and heated. A liquid contained in the pan evaporates. A drying air flow is generated by a fan unit and directed onto the evaporation pan via a fan duct. A non-return element is arranged in the fan duct and prevents liquid vapor from getting from the evaporation pan to the fan unit. During an evaporation process, the fan unit is switched off and the fan duct is blocked by a non-return element. During a subsequent drying process, the fan unit is switched on and the non-return element of the fan duct is opened for the drying air flow. During operation of the fan unit, the evaporation pan is heated to a temperature above the specified minimum temperature using a heating device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2020Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Frieder LINDER, Harald SAUER, Alexander Peter KRÜGER, Michael Markus HECKMANN

Patent number: 7905138Abstract: To determine the backlash in an arrangement in which a motor moves a load via a transmission mechanism, a transducer is used which is present anyway in conventional production machines and which measures an angular position or translatory position of the drive element or a derivative of this quantity. Via the transducer the effect of the backlash on the actual position of the drive element is measured, the actual position being different from the desired position, which is defined by the forces or torques acting on the drive. On the basis of a frequency analysis, quantities can be derived which permit the use of threshold criteria. For example, the drive is driven with a periodic signal which is close to the absorber frequency, i.e. a frequency at which the absorption by the transmission mechanism is greatest.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2007Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hubert Bellm, Peter Krüger
