Abstract: A method and a system for thermal dewatering and preheating aqueous mixtures for feeding glass melting plants when passing through a shaft-like container provided with heating elements disposed one above another in tiers. To avoid the feed material from becoming glued together or agglomerating in the preheaters while the feed material is heated by exhaust gases with separately guided exhaust gases and feed material, a) the uppermost tier heating elements are closed relative to the mixture and are kept above 100 C, b) the interface between the mixture and the atmosphere above the mixture is shaped and heated by the uppermost tier heating elements so that part of the thermal output is emitted to the atmosphere via the mixture, and c) as the mixture proceeds through the container it is heated by further heating elements to temperatures close to the glass melting plant feeding temperature.

Abstract: The main part of the melt produced during laser welding of two housing parts along a circumferential edge is made to flow towards the printed circuit board by a predefined geometry, thus fixing the board in a form-fitting manner. The basic geometry is modified to prevent the melt from distributing in both directions in an uncontrolled manner and make it flow towards the inside of the housing in a targeted manner. The printed circuit board can thus be fixed and the housing sealed in a single operation. Less space is required on the printed circuit board since the support surfaces only affect the peripheral zone of the printed circuit board. The peripheral zone is a barrier zone since the individual printed circuit board is cut out of a panel. Due to the larger contact surface, prestress losses caused by creep of the plastic have no adverse effect.
