  • Patent number: 4509437
    Abstract: In the process for cleaning of flue gases of a power plant boiler, the flue gases are dust filtered at first and then wet desulfurized. By the wet desulfurization the flue gases are cooled down and have to be reheated before they are fed to the stack of the power plant. In known processes the flue gases to be reheated are reheated by a flame burning oil or gas. This reheating is expensive and leads to the handling and storage of a further fuel in the power plant. In order to avoid this disadvantages, according to the invention the flue gases are reheated by means of reheating energy of at least one reheating flame burning coal dust. Coal dust is a fuel which is available in a power plant, the power burners of which coal dust.

  • Patent number: 4474120
    Abstract: In a method for the ignition of a fuel dust power burner, in which the ignition energy is provided by a fuel dust pilot burner, for example for the ignition of a coal dust burner with a coal dust igniting flame, the ignition performance of the igniting flame is not adequate in some cases. In order to increase the ignition performance, so as also to be able to ignite the flames of high-powered power burners, it is proposed that, after ignition of the igniting flame to which coal dust and air are supplied by respective tube, a mixture of additional igniting coal dust supplied by way of a further tube and air is conducted to this flame by way of the power fuel dust tube, and then the power fuel dust is supplied along the power fuel dust tube.

  • Patent number: 4210506
    Abstract: Coating bath and method for cataphoretic coating of metallic iron surfaces from aqueous solutions and/or aqueous dispersions of salts of cationic film-forming agents. An additional content of metallic ions from metallic salts is dissolved in the coating bath, the potential of which in the electrolytic voltage series of the cations is higher than the potential of the iron metal surfaces.
