  • Patent number: 10982910
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger having at least one sorption duct in which is arranged a sorption medium and through which a fluid can be made to flow, characterized in that the heat exchanger also contains at least one catalyst with which a fuel can be converted exothermically such that at least some of the resulting heat can be conveyed to the sorption medium. The invention also relates to a method for heating and/or conditioning a gas stream, having at least the following steps: supplying a gas stream, containing multiple different components, into a sorption duct in which is arranged a sorption medium, such that at least one component is bound in the sorption medium, and supplying and exothermically converting at least one fuel under the action of a catalyst, such that at least one component of the gas stream is expelled from the sorption medium.

  • Patent number: 10689545
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispersion and also to a method for coating objects, in particular heat exchanger structures, in which this dispersion is applied on a carrier structure and is crosslinked and/or made into a film with formation of a layer. Likewise, the invention relates to heat exchanger structures coated in this way. The dispersions according to the invention can likewise be used for coatings in the construction of chemical plants and also in medical technology.

  • Patent number: 10131612
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of an absorbent made of metal-organic framework structures (MOF), in the case of which at least one metal salt is converted with at least one organic ligand. The conversion is effected at a temperature greater than 100° C. in a solvent mixture which comprises DMSO and water. The invention relates in addition to an adsorbent produced with the method according to the invention or to a substrate coated with such an adsorbent and also to possibilities of use of such an adsorbent or substrate.

  • Publication number: 20180219379
    Abstract: A power plant installation includes a feed connection for feeding energy into an external energy supply grid and at least one energy-generating unit. The power plant installation includes at least one energy storage unit and at least one isolated component grid which is connected to the feed connection via a converter of the power plant installation and is electrically isolated from the feed connection and the external energy supply grid by the converter, the at least one energy-generating unit and/or the at least one energy storage unit are connected to the isolated component network, and the powerplant installation has a control device which, by actuating the converter, the energy-generating unit and/or the energy storage unit, adjusts the feed behaviour of the power plant installation which is effective towards the outside at the feed connection.
