  • Patent number: 11476015
    Abstract: A liquid cooled cable (1) includes a conductor (2) with at least two cable strands (3). The conductor (2) is encompassed by a hose (5) spaced in a sectional view at least partially apart from the conductor (2) by an interstitial space (6). The interstitial space (6) is arranged between an inner wall (7) of the hose (5) and the cable strands (3) of the conductor (2). The interstitial space (6) conducts a cooling liquid (15) along the conductor (2).

  • Patent number: 10902977
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a cable assembly (10, 10a-b), comprising a cable (10, 10a-b) with a cable hose (11, 11a-b) and at least one conductor (12, 12a-f) arranged therein. The cable hose (11, 11a-b) is spaced a distance apart from the conductor (12) forming a first interstitial space (15, a-b) between the at least conductor (12) and the cable hose (11, 11a-b). At least one tube (20, 20a-b) for conveying of a cooling fluid (21), and a connector (30) comprising at least one contact member (31) interconnected to the at least one conductor (12) and a chamber (32). Said chamber (32) comprises a first port (33) which is interconnected to the first interstitial space between the at least one conductor (12, 12a-f) and the cable hose (11, 11a-b) and a second port (34a, 34a-b) which is interconnected to the at least one tube (20, 20a-b).

  • Patent number: 9761352
    Abstract: A stranded conductor (2) including a specific number of a first type of wire (5) which, in cross-section of the stranded conductor, are arranged in a hexagonal pattern around a central wire in at least two layers. The wires arranged at the vertices of the hexagonal pattern are of a second type of wire having in principle a smaller diameter than the first type of wires. The interstitial spaces (10) between the first and the second wires are filled by a sealing agent (3).

  • Patent number: 7401961
    Abstract: In order to improve visibility and hence to reduce the risk of accidents, a load-carrying rope, for example a wire rope, is equipped with a number of luminous elements. A luminous element may in this case assume the position of a wire or of a braid, may be integrated in an insert, or may be guided in the spaces between wires or braids and preferably within the theoretical rope circumference. The luminous element may also itself be composed of luminous elements which are twisted together, spiralled, or laid in so as to form braids. For strain relief, the luminous elements may be equipped with a reinforcement in the form of a strand, or with a mesh.

  • Publication number: 20080142245
    Abstract: The invention relates to a high temperature cable comprising a plurality of electric conductors which extend in a common envelop and are remote from each other and from said envelop by means of a plurality of insulating bodies which are successively disposed in the longitudinal direction of the cable and support each other, wherein said conductors are guided in through openings embodied in the individual insulating bodies. The aim of said invention is to simplify the production of the high temperature cable and to improve the properties thereof. For this purpose, the separate insulating bodies are associated with at least two conductors and form therewith at least two separate electrically insulated threads which are twisted and stranded.

  • Publication number: 20050239327
    Abstract: A high-frequency component includes at least one metallic supporting element which is made of bronze, particularly cast bronze. The proportion of zinc is less than 18 percent by weight, preferably less than 12 percent by weight. The component is substantially more resistant in an aggressive atmosphere, especially to ammonia and sulfur compounds, than brass.

The luminous element may also itself be composed of luminous elements which are twisted together, are twisted or are laid. For strain relief, the luminous elements may be equipped with a reinforcement in the form of a strand, or with a mesh. The luminous element is intended to be connected to a source. In the state when it is fed, the luminous element is actively luminous. Owing to the improved visibility, rope lights may be used not only for a safety function but also for an aesthetic appearance.

  • Publication number: 20020003314
    Abstract: An aeration device for waste water (1) consists essentially of a carrier (2) with a flat, essentially rectangular surface (3) and of an air-permeable membrane (6) which is connected to the carrier (2). Between the membrane (6) and the carrier (2) there is formed an air chamber (7a, 7b). The rectangular, flat construction on the one hand permits a modular design of the aeration device (1) and further permits the manufacture of the aeration device with the coextrusion method.
