  • Publication number: 20240144564
    Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method includes receiving a user input selecting a deformable text shape that is defined by shape data that includes path data, slice data, viewbox data, and textbox data. A further user input that resizes the viewbox of the deformable text shape is received, and in response resized shape data is calculated by calculating resized path data and resized textbox data. A resized deformable text shape is then displayed in accordance with the resized shape data.

  • Publication number: 20230182095
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a flow generator (1) in a tank (20) configured for housing a liquid comprising solid matter, the flow generator (1) comprising an impeller and being located at a height (h-mixer) in the tank (20) and the tank (20) having a predetermined maximum filling height (h-max), wherein the flow generator (1) is configured to be operated at a variable operational speed (n) and the demand of operational speed (n-demand) is dependent on the present liquid level height (h-present) in the tank (20), wherein a max operational speed (n-max) of the flow generator (1) is the operational speed required when the liquid level in the tank (20) is equal to the maximum filling height (h-max), the present operational speed (n-present) being set equal to the demand of operational speed (n-demand) of the flow generator (1) that is determined using the formula: ( n - present ) = ( n - demand ) = ( n - max ) [ ( h - max ) / ( h - present ) ] ^ a at lea

  • Publication number: 20210394135
    Abstract: A propeller for a digestion tank mixer. The propeller has a hub and at least two blades. Each blade has an outer geometrical plane parallel to a center axis, perpendicular to a radius of the propeller, intersecting both a leading edge and a trailing edge of the blade, and an inner geometrical plane parallel to the outer geometrical plane and tangent to the hub. Each intermediate geometrical plane of the blade has an arc-shaped cross section extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge, and a chord extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge. An angle between the chord and a radial plane of the propeller is 25-45 degrees in each intermediate geometrical plane. The ratio between an arc-height between the chord and the thrust side surface, and the length of the chord, is 0.08-0.15 in each intermediate geometrical plane.

  • Patent number: 9194267
    Abstract: Arrangement for introducing a liquid medium into exhaust gases from a combustion engine, comprising a mixing duct, a first flow guide for creating a first exhaust vortex in the mixing duct such that the exhaust gases in this first exhaust vortex rotate in a first direction of rotation during their movement downstream in the mixing duct, an injector for injecting the liquid medium in the form of a finely divided spray into exhaust gases which are led into the liquid medium in an exhaust flow at the center of the first vortex, and a second flow guide for creating a second exhaust vortex in the mixing duct concentrically with and externally about the first vortex, such that the exhaust gases in this second vortex rotate in a second direction of rotation, which is opposite to said first direction of rotation, during their movement downstream in the mixing duct.

  • Patent number: 9140163
    Abstract: Arrangement for introducing a liquid medium into exhaust gases from a combustion engine: an injector for injecting the liquid medium into an injection chamber (3), a casing (8) which surrounds the injection chamber, a mixing duct (6), a gathering chamber (10) which surrounds the casing and is connected to the injection chamber via throughflow apertures of the casing, and a bypass duct (12) for leading exhaust gases into the mixing duct without passing through the gathering chamber and the injection chamber. The inlet (11) of the gathering chamber diverts a portion of the exhaust gases to flow into the gathering chamber, and then into the injection chamber via the throughflow apertures, and thereafter into the mixing duct, while the bypass duct leads another portion of the exhaust gases into the mixing duct in order to be mixed there with the diverted exhaust gases.

  • Patent number: 9062582
    Abstract: An exhaust post-treatment device (2) for a vehicle (4) for reducing nitrogen oxides present in the exhaust gases (20) of the vehicle (4) by supply of liquid reducing agent (18) to the exhaust gases (20) in an exhaust pipe (32). The device (2) locally warms a surface (31) within the exhaust pipe (32) by a Peltier element (6) by using thermal energy from the exhaust gases (20) to vaporize liquid reducing agent (18) which reaches the surface (31), thereby avoiding the formation of deposits of reducing agent within the exhaust pipe (32). Also a method for post-treatment of exhaust gases from vehicles with an exhaust post-treatment device (2) including a Peltier element (6).

  • Patent number: 8915069
    Abstract: Arrangement for introducing a liquid medium into exhaust gases from a combustion engine: an exhaust gas line (2), an injection chamber (3) bounded in radial directions by a tubular wall (8), an injector (13) injects the liquid medium into the injection chamber; a mixing duct (14) to which the injection chamber has an outlet (10) for delivering exhaust gases; a bypass duct (15) which has an outlet (17) via which it is connected to the mixing duct, and an endwall (7) at the injection chamber's downstream end and demarcating the chamber from the mixing duct, such that the chamber's outlet is situated at the periphery of the endwall. The outlet of the bypass duct is close to the outlet of the injection chamber so that the exhaust gases which flow into the mixing duct via the chamber's outlet will collide with the exhaust gases which flow into the mixing duct via the outlet of the bypass duct.

  • Patent number: 8899026
    Abstract: Arrangement for introducing a liquid medium into exhaust gases from a combustion engine, having a mixing duct, an injector for injecting the liquid medium into the mixing duct, and an inlet duct situated upstream of the mixing duct. The inlet duct has a first duct section which is annular in cross-section and a second duct section which is annular in cross-section. The second duct section is situated downstream of the first duct section and surrounds the mixing duct. The first duct section surrounds the second duct section. The mixing duct further has a flow reversal section via which an annular outlet of the first duct section is connected to an annular inlet of the second duct section and which is configured to reverse the direction of flow of the exhaust gases flowing through the inlet duct, to flow through the second duct section in a direction opposite to that of the exhaust gases in the first duct section.
