Publication number: 20170100831Abstract: A power tool having a housing, a motor, especially an electric motor, a drive shaft that can be driven by the motor, a belt drive for transmitting the driving force of the motor to a tool, and a first fan that serves to generate a first air path in the housing as well as to cool at least the motor. The first fan and the belt drive can be driven by the drive shaft. The power tool has a second fan that serves to generate a second air path in the housing as well as to cool at least the belt drive.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2015Publication date: April 13, 2017Inventors: Wolfgang Schreiber, Torsten Luettich

Patent number: 8944182Abstract: A suction module which can be connected to a hand-held power tool, and a hand-held power tool including the suction module, is disclosed. The suction module includes a suction head which can receive a tool of the hand-held power tool that is rotatable around a tool axis and a fan with a fan wheel that is rotatable around a fan axis for suctioning air from the suction head. The suction head is connected to the fan by an intake channel, which in a first section runs along a longitudinal axis of the suction module and in a second section along a vertical axis of the suction module that is fixed transverse to the longitudinal axis. The fan axis runs parallel to a narrow axis, which is aligned transverse to the longitudinal axis and transverse to the vertical axis.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2011Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Henry Chen, Sean Wang, Torsten Luettich, Matthias Kuemmerle, Bernhard Link

Publication number: 20120152504Abstract: A handheld power tool, including a housing wall and a fan device with an air intake and an air outlet in the housing wall. The fan device has an air guide, and an outflow space is delimited between, on the one hand, the housing wall at the air outlet and, on the other hand, an outflow side of the air intake, as well as laterally by a first surface contour and by a second surface contour of the air guide. The first surface contour and the second surface contour each extend from the housing wall to the outflow side of the air-intake means, and the air-guiding element is shaped in such a way that the size of the cross-sectional surface of the outflow space increases continuously crosswise to the outflow direction of the air intake in the outflow direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2011Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Torsten Luettich, Armin Hoffman

Patent number: 6478965Abstract: Dilute solutions of fermentation sales may be concentrated by extracting water using low-miscibility, low-molecular-weight secondary and tertiary amines, e.g. triethylamine (TEA), diisopropyl amine (DIA), N,N-diethylmethylamine (DEMA), and mixtures thereof. At 30° C.-55° C., which corresponds to typical fermentation temperatures, these low-molecular-weight amines or their mixtures, can extract large amounts of water from dilute aqueous solutions containing fermentation salts. Thus, dilute fermentation salt solutions can be concentrated by selectively removing water. At these low temperatures, the amine phase contains 20-35% water and a much reduced quantity of fermentation salt. When the temperature is raised, water phases out of the amine, allowing the amine to be recycled and reused to extract additional water. Using this approach, about 82.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1999Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: The Texas A&M University SystemInventors: Mark T. Holtzapple, Richard R. Davison, Torsten Luettich
