| 20090112672 | Method and Arrangement for Optimized Maintenance of Components - A method for optimizing the availability of a technical object, comprises the steps of providing a serviceable technical object; defining a service plan; defining a setpoint availability; maintaining the serviceable technical object according to the service plan; determining the actual availability of the serviceable technical object; and automatically adjusting the service plan according to a difference between the setpoint availability and the actual availability. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20100036638 | Monitoring of heat exchangers in process control systems - A method for monitoring the efficiency of a heat exchanger is provided. Heat flows from a first medium into a second medium and an actual heat flow is detected and compared with at least one reference heat flow corresponding to a respectively predetermined degree of soiling of the heat exchanger. Furthermore, a device for controlling a plant having at least one heat exchanger is described. The plant has a storage device storing at least one reference heat flow of the heat exchanger. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100090795 | Method for the wear-minimized operation of installation components - A method for wear-minimized operation of a component of an installation and a corresponding installation are disclosed. A sensor for state identification is associated with the component and transmits a sensor signal to an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit checks the sensor signal to ascertain whether a wear-promoting operating state is present, and in the event of the presence of such an operating state the component is driven such that a change in the operating state in favor of an operating state with less wear takes place. If, for example, a component is operated at its resonant frequency, it is ensured that the component is operated at a slightly different rotation speed, at which far less severe oscillations occur. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110039297 | Method and Device for Controlling the Fermentation Process - A method and device for controlling a fermenting process, wherein the method comprises collecting samples of biological cells from a fermenting tank, obtaining the state information of the current biological cells based on the collected samples, comparing the state information of the current biological cells with preset target status information to obtain the difference between the state information of the current biological cells and preset target state information, and controlling the feed rate of nutritional solution into the fermenting tank. Real time control of biological fermenting process is thus accomplished based on the state information of the biological cells during fermentation, and the consistency during fermentation is improved. Complicated mathematical modeling and man-made data analysis are not required for the method and device. Real time control of biological fermenting process is accomplished based on a feedback loop with simply calculation, and control delay is not created, and automatic control of cells statement in fermentation is achieved. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20100170267 | BURNER FOR A GAS TURBINE - A burner for a gas turbine including a main burner and a pilot burner is provided. The main burner has a supporting structure, a heat shield and a holder for the heat shield, and wherein the holder is at least partially located within the supporting structure and the heat shield is at least partially located within the holder. The heat shield is fastened to the holder by a force-fit and/or a frictional connection. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100300104 | BURNER, OPERATING METHOD AND ASSEMBLY METHOD - A burner incorporating a pilot cone and a mounting insert is provided. The pilot cone is constructed as a pilot cone assembly which is decoupled from the mounting insert. Further, an operating method for increasing the service life of a burner which incorporates a pilot cone assembly and a mounting insert is provided. The pilot cone assembly has a cone side and incorporates at least one further side where the further side is arranged to be essentially parallel to one of the sides of the mounting insert and spaced apart from it, so that between the further side and the side of the mounting insert there is a defined gap. In an operation of the burner, the gap is significantly reduced by the thermal expansion in at least at one point of contact between the further side and the side of the mounting insert. Finally, an assembly method is provided. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110136067 | Fuel Insert - A fuel nozzle for imparting swirl to a fuel/fuel-air mixture is provided. The fuel nozzle includes a holding unit and a nozzle insert, wherein the holding unit and the nozzle insert form a flow path and subsequently a swirl chamber, wherein the nozzle insert includes an inlet start and an inlet end. The inlet start and the inlet end are bent in a substantially circular manner such that an unbroken circle is formed, such that a fuel flowing into the swirl chamber has imparted to it a radially inwardly directed circular, in particular spiral movement. A burner and a gas turbine are also provided. | 06-09-2011 |
